Red Wine and Cancer Prevention - National Cancer Institute

>> Research on the antioxidants found in red wine has shown that they may help inhibit the development of certain cancers (see Question 1).
>>Resveratrol has been shown to reduce tumor incidence in animals by affecting one or more stages of cancer development. It has been shown to inhibit growth of many types of cancer cells in culture (see Question 2).
>>Evidence from animal studies suggests this anti-inflammatory compound may be an effective chemopreventive agent in three stages of the cancer process: Initiation, promotion, and progression (see Question 3).
