compounds similar to resveratrol may potentially treat and prevent diseases
related to aging in people, the authors contend."

If you don't want to drink, another good source of trans-resveratrol, which is more bioavailable, is vinegar produced from red wines (red wine vinegar, balsamic). It's actually much more concentrated as well due to the second fermentation process. I try to have some (with olive oil) on salad daily.

That had been a theory for years, but it seems to be gathering more support from several new studies.
