Rich Cartiere dug up this tidbit too: (apologies for the strange formatting)


I've discovered why CSPI is having such a problem with making the
connnection between wine and health...this just in...

LONDON, Jan 7 (Reuters) - A glass and a half of wine a day could help stave
off
neurodegenerative diseases such as
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, according to
research published on Thursday.

Italian scientists, reporting in the
British journal New Scientist, said a natural
chemical produced by vines and
concentrated in both grapes and wine triggers a
seven-fold increase in the activity and
effectiveness of an enzyme called
mapkinase. Mapkinase stimulates and
regenerates nerve cells.

Alberto Bertelli and his team at Milan
University said they had tested the chemical
-- called reservatrol -- on human neural
nerves and found it made the cells grow
small extensions through which they could
connect with neighbouring cells.

According to the team, the process can be
replicated in people by drinking a glass
and a half of wine a day.

``Reservatrol allows the brain cells to
get themselves connected to one another
again. It is this reconstruction that
which reactivates the ability of the elderly to
remember,'' Bertelli said.

``By daily reinforcing these contacts, we
can prevent neuro degeneration,'' he
added.
