Have some peanuts with that wine. It'll make you thirsty for more.

resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, lowers the levels of the amyloid-beta peptides which cause the telltale senile plaques of Alzheimer's disease.

...

Resveratrol in grapes may never reach the concentrations required to obtain the effect observed in our studies.



Well if the concentrations low you just have to consume more of it to get the benefit right ?

It looks like nobody knows for sure right now. The effect has not really been isolated.
