• Howitz and Sinclair reported in 2003 in the journal Nature that resveratrol significantly extends the lifespan
• In 1997, Jang reported that topical resveratrol applications prevented the skin cancer development in mice treated with a carcinogen
• Again,In a recent study by the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, it was found that resveratrol may offer protection against radiation exposure
• incresed athletic perfomrmance was allegedly attributed again.
• While the health benefits of resveratrol seem promising, one study has theorized that it may stimulate the growth of human breast cancer cells, possibly because of resveratrol's chemical structure, which is similar to a phytoestrogen.However, other studies have found that resveratrol actually fights breast cancer
• there is no published evidence anywhere in the scientific literature of any clinical trial for efficacy in humans

• Content in selected foods

Peanuts (raw) 1 c (146 g) 0.01 - 0.26Peanuts (boiled) 1 c (180 g) 0.32 - 1.28Peanut butter 1 c (258 g) 0.04 - 0.13Red grapes 1 c (160 g) 0.24 - 1.25

Ounce for ounce, peanuts have about half the amount of resveratrol as that found in red wine
