The French Paradox:
2-3 glasses of wine a day reduced death rates by 30%!
“Paris (AP World News) 19 February 1998 – “The French scientist who
showed the world that wine is good for the heart has a new discovery. Two to three glasses
of wine a day reduce death rates from all causes by up to 30 percent. Serge Renaud states
in the Journal of Epidemiology, ‘wine protects not only against heart disease, but
also against most cancers.’ His study of 34,000 middle-aged men living in eastern France
supports what has become known as the ‘French Paradox’.
"Frenchmen eat lots of saturated fats, but still live a long time. The results
were the same for smokers, nonsmokers and former smokers, he said. There were no differences
between white-collar and working-class drinkers. In addition, recent studies in the United
States found that a drink of almost any alcohol can lower death rates by reducing the risk
of cancer disease. Renaud, however, maintains that wine is the answer. It acts against
heart ailments in cancers because of its antioxidant action of the polyphenol compounds
in the grapes (the OPCs or proanthocyanidins). He warns, however, ‘wine is a more
diluted form of alcohol and must be taken in moderation. After four glasses a day, wine
has an adverse affect on the death rates and, although it still protects the heart, excess
drinking raises the dangers of cancers and liver disease."
"In the Epidemiology article, Renaud reported a 30 percent reduction in death rates from
all causes from two to three glasses of wine per day, a 35 percent reduction from cardiovascular
disease, and a 24 percent reduction from cancer. He is a cardiologist who works with the prestigious
Inserm Unit at the University of Bordeaux. His book, Healthy Diet, is popular in
France."
Remember, Revatrol gives you the equivalent of resveratrol found in
50 bottles of red wine - in one pill!!
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha Lipoic Acid - is one of nature’s most versatile
antioxidants with two important jobs: First, it neutralizes free radicals, which helps protect
your brain, eye sight, liver and overall energy level. Alpha Lipoic Acid is a key
brain protector because it is BOTH water and fat soluble, so it can get to all places in the body, including
your brain, where it can protect you from a free radical attack. Alpha Lipoic Acid rejuvenates
exhausted antioxidants like vitamins E and C, and coenzyme Q10. For example, Alpha
Lipoic Acid replenishes vitamin E as it is used up fighting free radicals oxidizing
LDL “bad”cholesterol. Once replenished, the vitamin E can get back to doing its job to squash free
radicals. It’s like having a constant supply of reinforcement soldiers that are always ready and able to
take over so there’s a fresh fighting force!
Quercetin
Quercetin - is another powerful antioxidant that occurs naturally
in red wine, however it’s found in the highest amounts in the skins of apples, tea, onions, nuts,
berries, cauliflower and cabbage. Quercetin has many of the same properties as
resveratrol, and when they are combined together, quercetin makes resveratrol work
better in your body by increasing bio-availability! That’s great because resveratrol has a
tough time on its own getting into the body. Quercetin, just
like in a glass of wine, helps get it to work more efficiently. Quercetin also has some other
important qualities such as reducing chronic pain in some types of non-bacterial prostatitis.
Many other red wine extract products leave out this important ingredient, making them much
less compelling formulations than Revatrol. You won’t find resveratrol
and quercetin together in most other formulas!
Acetyl-L-Carnitine
Acetyl-L-Carnitine - helps your heart and brain by transporting
fats into the “engine” powerhouse of each cell –your mitochondria–where
the fat is burned for energy. This natural energy keeps your body moving and your heart pumping
strongly. Simply put... you can’t burn fat without it! Acetyl-L-Carnitine
also has potent antioxidant activity. Several gold standard studies show that it helps people
who’ve had strokes and advanced memory and cognitive loss. For instance, a double-blind
placebo study was done on 130 patients with advanced cognitive problems. It followed their
progress or deterioration for a year straight. At the end of the year, there was a statistically
significant difference in how these patients scored on their logical intelligence, long-term
verbal memory and attention.
