Free radicals do damage to the structure of cells by interfering with their atomic structure so that they cannot replicate in a healthy way. They reprogram cells in a way that eventually leads to cell decay and cell death. Tissues are broken down and rearranged in ways different than what we were born with.
If left unchecked, free radical damage leads to overt evidence of aging such as wrinkles and thin skin, deadly disorders such as cancer and cardiovascular problems, oral problems such as tooth decay and cold sores and inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and irritable bowel syndrome. Green tea is prized as a panacea for all that ails us today because research has shown that the drink contains the antioxidant power needed to prevent and even reverse these problematic physical conditions.
The Good News is That Green Tea Contains Enough
Powerful Antioxidants to Fight Those Free Radicals!
Grapes for Health
Modern Science Supports Aspects of The Grape Cure
Respected cancer researcher Ralph Moss wrote enthusiastically about The Grape Cure in the Spring, 1997, issue of his Media Watch:
Substance in Grapes Inhibits Cancer Growth
On New Year's Day, 1997, The Boston Globe reprinted a Reuters dispatch that raises high hopes about grapes. Red grape skins, it turns out, contain a substance called resveratrol. According to a well-known researcher, Dr. John Pezzuto of the University of Illinois at Chicago, this naturally occurring phenol "has multiple modes of action, inhibiting cancer growth at a lot of different stages, which is unusual." These stages are initiation of DNA damage, transformation of the cell into cancer, and growth and spread of the tumor.
Resveratrol Protects against Coronary Heart Disease
Although resveratrol was first isolated from a Peruvian legume called Cassia quinquangulata, it was later found in grapes, particularly red grapes, as well as in peanuts, mulberries and other plants. It may also be one of the compounds responsible for wine's proven ability to protect against atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease, according to other reports from the University of Toronto (Clin Chim Acta, 235: 2, 1995 Mar 31, 207-19). Great -- another excuse to drink wine! (If you do so, try to make it an organic red, since grapes are very heavily sprayed with pesticides.)
Magical Health Restoring Properties of Grapes
Again, this makes us think of another approach long derided by the quackbusters. This was The Grape Cure, popularized in the U.S. in the 1930s by a South African woman named Johanna Brandt. You can sometimes find her slim volume on a dusty shelf in the health food store. Brandt was herself drawing on an old European tradition which held that grapes had almost magical health-restoring properties when eaten in abundance.
