Flashback Friday: The Best Source of Resveratrol

Is there any benefit to resveratrol? If so, should we get it from wine, grapes, peanuts, or supplements?

The original video aired on April 2nd 2018.

Thanks for watching. I hope you’ll join in the evidence-based nutrition revolution!

I was LITERALLY looking up the effects of resveratrol last night as it popped up in a article I was reading. Halfway curious of its “benefits” I was looking into how much the supplement costs and fell asleep while searching. I wake up the next morning and see this video as the first recommendation in my YouTube feed. Thank you for being so thorough and quickly saving me $30-60 on an unnecessary supplement. You’re awesome!

Never have I ever clicked on a notification this fast.

No Dr Greger, it is not written "fish oil capsules" into the study, it is written "omega 3 fatty acids", like the DHA/EPA from algae oil that you recommend as a supplement.

I'm going to continue to take my resveratrol until they are gone.... then not purchase anymore. Thank you Dr. G

hey i’m checking in after being really into this guy 2-4 years ago. has his views changed at all or any interesting findings or videos since then?

I managed to extract resveratrol from Japanese knotweed roots, I did use alcohol do to it, but they say there are more medicinal compounds in this weed. Thanks for the heads up anyway, doc!

Noice 😎, this is why I prefer all the berries (in a decent amount, not too much), not for the compound discussed in the video, but the great flavor and how well it fits with my rolled oats.

Seems to be the best idea, doing that the best I can.

Wait wait, you gotta speak with Dr. David Sinclair

I love grapes! Black or red ones especially. But I have heard so many good things about resveratrol supplements as well lately...so I take something called Resvera-Pro. Also high EPA fish oil that totally extinguishes inflammation in a palpably felt way, so what do I know? If it feels like it’s working it probably is.

Have you looked at the cost of resveratrol in supplemental form? Last time I looked it was somewhere around $60 for a small bottle. This health rip-off game is very

[tobahero]

So should we be drinking red wine or no? I got the eat grapes message, but any grapes? You got the green one and the red one and the black one.

I love how people try to defend their addiction to wine saying that it has health benefits. Even if they see the study don't accept.

So, if you don't want to accept, please don't debate with someone who believes that hydroxychloroquine works, for example. Both of you uses selected points in the scientific literature.

Just got my copy of your latest book, HOW TO SURVIVE A PANDEMIC with it's 343 pages of text and 225 pages of references in case anyone wants to check your research!😳
Thank you for your tireless efforts, your work is so appreciated! Peace.💚

Instructions unclear: Left the video not knowing the best source.

[davilated]

Why do researchers like Dr Longo suggest that it might be beneficial then? Are they just making PR money? It doesn’t make a lot of sense that this chemical has received so much media attention if it doesn’t do what’s being suggested. Thank you for doing these videos debunking the myth, Dr G.!

[uncommonsense]

How can you make a video entitled "Best source of Resveratrol" and not mention Japanese Knotweed? It contains the highest levels in the known plant kingdom... and it is listed on your site as a source but not in this video.

The lesson is: Be skeptical. Find the proof before you eat the pudding.

Only problem is that grapes cause huge insuline spikes. Their basicly sugar water. Which would suggest bad for health.
