Resveratrol - Good for Your Gut?
Quote:
�Our study is a little different than those previously reported in the media. Those studies promote moderate red wine consumption for cardiovascular diseases,� she said.
�We went a step farther and asked: If red wine is already good for cardiovascular diseases, what about food-borne pathogens" If you get a food-borne illness and drink red wine, will that help decrease the symptoms a little bit"
This study showed that the four probiotics tested weren�t inhibited by red wines; the pathogens were.�
...
�It�s not just ethanol in the red wine that is inhibitory toward food-borne pathogens, but other factors which include the pH of the wine � because wines are a little acidic, and possibly the phytochemicals may have an effect,� said Mustapha, noting that grape juice produces similar results.
�We hypothesize that these phytochemicals, reseveratrol being the main one, also play a role not just as antioxidants but also may have some inhibitions against food-borne pathogens. Now, we�re concentrating mainly on the reseveratrol effects on these pathogens.�
