Re: more resveratrol studies

[Guest guest]

Having watched many of these " breakthrough " chemicals

come and go over the years (Vit C, Vit A, Beta

Carotene, Isoflavones, Vit E, Estrogen, B12, etc etc),

many not only having their 5 mintues of glory pass

quickly, but eventually becoming harmful..

I will hold off till the craze passes and recommend

anyone who asked me, to do the same.

But, thats just my opinion.

Jeff,I don't understand that reasoning...It seems to be unreasoning skepticism as opposed to a critical analysis of the information presented...What is it about the research itself (or the conclusions drawn from the research) that you find doubtful? On 11/4/06, Jeff Novick <chefjeff40@...> wrote:

My " reasoning " is simple (to me) and of course, was

offered only as my opinion and not as a critical

analysis of the research..

so, in my opinion..

- there is never going to be a medicine or a

supplement you can take that will allow you to indulge

in the causes of aging, and not suffer the

consequences. Even they greatly hailed statins can

not offer the protection and advantages that a change

in lifestyle can. While you may get " some " protection

from " some " of the consequences (which is all the

current study on resveratol showed), it will never be

able to offer 100% protection. As we have shown in

our research, when patients on statins come to the

center and change their lifestyle in ADDITION to the

statin, they see many more additional improvements.

Part of my concern is the thought process that goes

along with this kind of reaearch and approach as it

detracts from peoples motivation to take steps to live

healthy. Why do it if the " pill " is around the

corner.

- where is the supplement/medicine/pill fro the last

50 years that has lived up to its initial hype? Vit E

had loads of " early " research supporting its

effectiveness. Yet now it is considered harmful.

Same with Vit A, and Beta Carotene, and so on.

Thats all
