Red Wine Kills Cancer

I've always been a proactive person:

"Rochester researchers showed for the first time that a natural antioxidant found in grape skins and red wine can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells by reaching to the cell's core energy source, or mitochondria, and crippling its function. The study is published in the March edition of the journal, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.

The study also showed that when the pancreatic cancer cells were doubly assaulted -- pre-treated with the antioxidant, resveratrol, and irradiated -- the combination induced a type of cell death called apoptosis, an important goal of cancer therapy."

The part about "Pre-treated" is especially precious.  Now please excuse me, I'm going to go pre-treat my cells against cancer.

I was told that red wine can also help lower cholesteral levels also. I believe the words in moderation were also used.

Alas, being an alcoholic, my days of drinking a nice glass of wine (or downing a bottle of MD in my case) are over. I stick to a glass of grape juice per day now.
