Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 Besides the fact the beneficial polyphenols found in erd wine are also in figs, they are also in the fresh grape juice. I believe less so in the store bought pastuerized grape juice, but no heating in the wine making process so they caryy over there, but the fresh grape juice has the good stuff so no need to be drinking wine :-) I don't believe white chocolate has any real cocoa in it, so not much help there, same with white grape juice, the bright color of fruits and vegetables do really have a color coding for beneficial bioactive compounds, so white grape juice is lacking. And that doesn't mean that because there is some benefit to choclate, 500 grams a day must be even better :-). The point of the cited study was to see if a dose reduction in the chocolate still had the beneficial effect, and by my reading it did seem to say the lower dose was good. So just a little choclate as to reward ourslves, but no binging :-) And most choclate does have white sugar in it, which is a negative.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2002 Report Share Posted May 12, 2002 Wow. Your post doesn't make a bit of sense to me except the part about red-wine. New to the Group here, Hep-C and totally opposed to alcohol of course. You don't have to spend time explaining about polyphenols. cocoa and white sugar; that information is sure to be found with a little volition on my own. I'm sure there is plenty to learn. Glad to be here and happy to be part of an active Group. > Besides the fact the beneficial polyphenols found in erd wine are also in > figs, they are also in the fresh grape juice.
