http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7803619.stm An extract from grape seeds can destroy cancer cells, US research suggests. In lab experiments, scientists found that the extract stimulated leukaemia cells to commit suicide. Within 24 hours, 76% of leukaemia cells exposed to the extract were killed off, while healthy cells were unharmed, Clinical Cancer Research reports. The study raises the possibility of new cancer treatments, but scientists said it was too early to recommend that people eat grapes to ward off cancer.

Well this only means that the FDA will now ban grapes and any grape byproducts from consumer purchasing until they can regulate it.

most likely, soon you will have liquor laws (like we do) or they will soon put more manditory pesticides and additives into the growing process then the wine itself under guise of preservatives or some nasty fear of infection. not good for the wine industry in general. The US is not used to a liquor control board as we have.

Why is it when stuff like this comes out I have already heard about it like ten years ago ? So now ANOTHER researcher has discovered something that will be swept under the rug. Again. T

Well, we've long known that a variety of fruits (and vegetables) every day is quite beneficial for one's health. How many people do you know who put that information to good use?

My sister used grape extract...and she is no longer living. Didn't kill a single cell in her. Just because it works for some does not mean it works for all.

The anti oxidants in red grapes are beneficial in many ways....but, I doubt that the grape extract by itself would work as any type of cure but, may help in prevention much like it does for heart disease. Interesting what nature can do for a person!...goes back to what we all learned as kids....fruits, veggies, dairy, protein...too bad most of forget!

Well, as far as I know, drinking a glass of good red wine a day, is actually beneficial to health, the trouble is, one glass often leads to another, as red wine, a good merlot or cabernet is so yummy.
