Not sure this is the study. Although this one is interesting in its' own right. The study posted claims that the flesh of grapes is as beneficial as the skin (whereas before it was thought to be only the skin of red grapes) . The color of the grape is not mentioned. The one I alluded to claims that white wine is as beneficial as red wine (or that white grapes are as beneficial as red).

Hi folks:

There are lots of issues here. Including flesh and juice versus

skin. Color of grapes. And 'products of fermentation', of which

alcohol is just one (if certainly the most important in terms of

volume).

We have yet to see, as far as I know, a study which compared all the

various possible elements that need to be assessed. Especially wrt

to average lifespan.

In ten years we will probably have it. Until then ......... ?

Well it's not the first one (at least the way I read it) which actually says the opposite (that red is better than white). The second one is too old (2002) ; doesn't mention color in the text and just says that they've found a new method to measure the antioxidant properties of wine (and says nothing about those properties).

Does anyone further know of data comparing the resveratrol amounts in

red grapes vs black grapes? I've been preferentially eating black

grapes because I like their flavor, but also because darker just might

mean better goodies hidden in their cells....

I'm convinced this is the one. The Parade (and other lay)

articles about this study are discussing the differences

between red and white wine, not grapes. White wine is

often made just from the flesh, whereas red wine contains

the skin. Therefore, a finding that the flesh of grapes

is just as beneficial as the skin, supports the articles

written about white wine ranking up there with red.
