Is Wine Really Good for the Heart and Soul?

There's no question that there is something to the adulation surrounding resveratrol, the much-touted antioxidant found in wine, grapes, and even cocoa powder, peanuts, and mulberries.

This "miracle nutrient" has been heralded as a phytoestrogen1 and an anticarcinogenic2 nutrient. It has even been shown to reduce chronic fatigue in mice3.

While the jury is still out on many of these health claims, there is one area where there seems to be no doubt that resveratrol is the real thing: cardiovascular health.
