Red Wine Can Do Anything
Including preventing cancer according to one recent study.

Red wine, is there anything it can’t do? One study suggests that one chemical in red wine can help fight cancer.
Resveratrol, a compound found in grape skins and red wine, has been making headlines for quite some time now, for all the right reasons. Often referred to as “fountain of youth”, Resveratrol is said to have a number of health benefits such as anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and cancer preventive properties.

A recent study conducted by Michael Nicholl of the University of Missouri has found that melanoma cells become more susceptible to radiation if they were treated first with Resveratrol.
