Some scientists are already taking resveratrol in capsule form but others believe it is far too early to take the drug,… . Los Angeles Times – Washington Post News Service – November Red Wine Protects Mice from Obesity, Diabetes, Study Shows A component of red wine recently shown to help lab mice live longer also protects animals from obesity and diabetes, researchers reported Thursday. The new research helps confirm and extend the possible benefits of the substance, resveratrol, and offers new insight into how it works — apparently by revving up the metabolism to make muscles burn more energy and work more efficiently. Mice fed large doses could run twice as far as normal.In addition, the scientists for the first time… . (TX) – November , AMAZING SCIENCE Rice University students are trying to develop beer that could fight cancer, heart disease and diabetes Noble quest for a perfect brew Forget dashing to Spec’s for a six-pack. Head instead to a science lab at Rice University. On second thought, maybe you shouldn’t. The brew in the second-floor lab in Keck Hall isn’t exactly ready for prime time. Unless, that is, you’re interested in bits of DNA, genetic sequencing and scientific breakthroughs, with the ultimate goal of creating a beer that might fight cancer, heart disease and Type diabetes. It… . – November Scientists Replicate Substance That Extends Life STEVE INSKEEP, host: Scientists say they’re one step closer to developing a pill that slows the effects of aging.

Newsday (Melville, NY) – August To Red Wine, Long Life / Molecules mimic life extension seen in low-calorie diets Researchers have known for years that cutting calories can prolong life in everything from yeast cells to mammals. But an easier way to live longer may be as simple as turning a corkscrew.Molecules found in red wine, peanuts and other products of the plant world have for the first time been shown to mimic the life-extending effects of a spartan diet, a finding that could help researchers develop drugs that lengthen life and prevent or treat aging-related diseases.Researchers said that…
