Resveratrol Could Treat Diabetes
Resveratrol. Is there anything it can't do? It sure seems to be the wonder compound of the century, helping with a variety of medical conditions. The latest of these is diabetes. Decanter reports that the Massachusetts-based drug company, Sirtris Pharmaceuticals has found that a reformulated version of resveratrol improved the body's ability to break down sugar:
In trials Sirtris's SRT501 drug was showed that those taking resveratrol improved their score on an oral glucose tolerance testlinks, which measures the body's ability to break down and use sugar, a fundamental problem for diabetics.
But as with any of these resveratrol studies, people should be cautioned that red wine is not the cure, nor should they set out to start drinking any more than usual. According to the spokeswoman for the study, you'd need to drink 1,000 bottles to realize the effect. However, this does pave the way for even further research. And if you already drink a glass of wine with dinner every night, perhaps there is a hidden benefit.
