About 4 mos ago I stopped taking it when a pharma exec resigned from a big Resveratrol company saying that the compound is not stable enough for a pharma company to sell (i.e., it’s instability could damage the ‘reliability’ rep of the company.) I am sorry I don’t have a link for that but it did give me pause (I didn’t throw out my Resveratrol but I was hoping to see more about that).
In searching for the article I am referring to just now, I found this article saying resveratrol may be ‘double edged sword’ because it can also enable tumor growth by enhancing blood vessels supplying tumor. http://www.futurepundit.com/archives/cat_aging_diet_resveratrol.html
Then again, there’s a positive article re Resveratrol and diabetes directly below the linked article. I dunno.
A while ago I posted an article with a claim that you can get too much of antioxidants. I don’t recall what was claimed to be the problem.
Maybe the real problem is our human tendency to believe that if a little is good then a lot must be better.
