Is Resveratrol Safe?

Beginning November 1, 2006 nearly 500 newspapers reported on the resveratrol story and virtually every major TV news department followed. The news media heralded a study which showed that a high-dose, “red wine molecule”, maintained the quality of life of laboratory mice (balance and coordination) as they aged despite a high-fat diet the high-fat fed mice lived 31% longer when given resveratrol.

Next, the anti-nutritional supplement news media began swaying consumers towards wine (a major source of resveratrol) because, as some authorities claimed, there was an uncertainty over the sources and safety of resveratrol supplementation. Forget that the EPA deems resveratrol to be non-toxic. Forget that animal studies show the equivalent of 21,000 milligrams in humans would be non-toxic. Forget that three human clinical trials using 500 milligrams of resveratrol have passed the safety arm of their study.

Forget that the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences has conducted a toxicity review of resveratrol, and no major side effects are noted.
For the record, resveratrol is far safer than any alcoholic beverage and even safer than aspirin. When an alternative to an alcoholic beverage was available, a fact which should have been heralded, modern medicine and the news media, in a phobic aversion to dietary supplements, advised the public to “get drunk” on wine. So 90 percent of the news reports said, until proven otherwise, wine was safer than pills.

Conversely, reporters further explained it would take too much wine to produce the same health benefits as shown in the recent study and consumers would have to drink about a case of wine per day to achieve the health benefits. Reporters drove this story into the ground until one wondered why they were even reporting it.
