Red Wine Helps?

Cancer effects millions of people around the world, whether directly or indirectly. Lives are lost or are permanently scarred by the uncontrolled growth of cells. I myself know people who have passed away from cancer, and have several friends who have lost friends and relatives as well to this unforgiving disease. For example, my girlfriend has lost her grandmother to cancer at a very early age. In addition to that, several of her aunts have had breast cancer in the past, as well as another grandmother. Honestly, I don't believe there is a human on this Earth who hasn't been affected somehow by cancer. Thankfully, new research has shown that resveratrol, a compound found in both grape skins and red wine, can potentially help aid in radiation treatment of tumor cells. The study was initially practiced on prostate cancer cells, then was also tested on melanoma cells, delivering similar results. With the melanoma cells, it was found that 65 percent of cancerous cells were killed with both radiation and resveratrol, as opposed to the normal 44 percent with radiation alone. Because of the positive outcome that occurs with the addition of resveratrol, more studies will be placed to test the use of this compound. However, researchers are unsure of just how well resveratrol aids in the radiation process. Therefore, researchers don't recommend that cancer patients to rely on resveratrol to cure their cancer.
