Don't Stop Taking Resveratrol, Says Top Doc
Newsmaxhealth.com
"That means that greater than 99.9 percent of the research done on resveratrol is from labs completely independent of Das' lab or his institution."
The media adds to the confusion when stories like the resveratrol story break, says Dr. Blaylock. "The media wants to make the most exciting headline they can — so they write such nonsense as 'resveratrol research faked: forget that glass of wine,'" says Dr. Blaylock. "Ironically, they are committing a more glaring fraud than the person they are writing about.
"It would have taken them no more than 10 minutes to find what I did — that 99.9 percent of the research is totally independent of Das' research, and virtually all of it finds resveratrol to be effective and safe."
There is also the problem that so many of the media's advertising dollars come from the pharmaceutical makers of statins, says Dr. Blaylock: "They have a vested interest in reporting a story that would destroy the resveratrol market. Again, this is glaring fraud by the media. The purpose of journalism is to dig out the truth — to carefully analyze a story and provide the real story to the public," says Blaylock. All too often, the media doesn't do its job, he says.
As for himself and his patients, "I will continue to take resveratrol and recommend it," he says.

A major scandal erupted this month when a researcher at the
University of Connecticut was accused of faulty research — or downright fraud —
in at least 26 articles he wrote about the benefits of resveratrol.
Resveratrol, an
anti-inflammatory found in the skins of red grapes, has been hailed as the
"Fountain of Youth," and is said to fight heart disease, cancer, and
other diseases of aging. Some researchers believe the resveratrol contained in
red wine is responsible for the “French Paradox” — the apparent ability of the
French to eat high-fat diets and drink copious amounts of red wine and still
have low rates of heart disease and cancer.
"It has
anticancer properties and a powerful ability to protect the brain against
immunoexcitotoxicity, the central mechanism in brain aging and
neurodegenerative disease of the brain," says Newsmax Health contributor
Dr. Russell Blaylock. "Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant that stimulates
brain growth and synaptic connections."
Although disturbing,
the news that some resveratrol research is in question shouldn't taint the
reputation of a valuable heart-healthy nutrient, says Dr. Blaylock. He is in
agreement with other scientists and researchers who believe the news will have
minimal impact in the field of resveratrol research, since Dr. Dipak K. Das,
the scientist in question, isn't a major researcher in the field.
"Dr. Das is NOT
the major researcher in resveratrol effects on cardiovascular health,"
says Dr. Blaylock. "Several of his papers are review papers of other
people's research.
"We are not sure
what is being questioned," says Blaylock, who notes that "bias and
corruption within the ruling medical elite can attack a researcher
unfairly." So, in Dr. Blaylock's opinion, the jury is still out on Das's
guilt.
Das's research aside,
the overwhelming amount of research from other sources found that resveratrol
is, in fact, an effective nutrient. "There are 4,460 research and review
papers listed on PubMed that are published from labs from all over the world,"
says Dr. Blaylock. "They are finding a tremendous effectiveness of
resveratrol on cardiovascular health, neuroprotection, and usefulness in cancer
prevention and treatment."That means that greater than 99.9 percent of the research done on resveratrol is from labs completely independent of Das' lab or his institution."
The media adds to the confusion when stories like the resveratrol story break, says Dr. Blaylock. "The media wants to make the most exciting headline they can — so they write such nonsense as 'resveratrol research faked: forget that glass of wine,'" says Dr. Blaylock. "Ironically, they are committing a more glaring fraud than the person they are writing about.
