Purple grape juice might even be more potent than aspirin, which is widely recommended as a way of warding off heart attacks. The study found that both aspirin and red wine slow the activity of blood platelets by about 45 percent, while purple grape juice dampens them by 75 percent. It is not clear, however, whether the thinning of blood after drinking red wine is caused by flavonoids or by the diuretic effects of the alcohol contained in the wine. |

See book keywords and concepts |  A rat study found that consumption of Concord grape juice significantly inhibited breast cancer tumor growth.
A cell study using advanced human prostate cancer cells found that treatment with grape seed extract inhibited cell growth and caused them to die. Another study showed that drinking four or more glasses of red wine per week cut the risk of prostate cancer in half.
COGNITIVE FUNCTION: Concord grape juice significantly improved laboratory animals' short-term memory in a water maze test, as well as coordination, balance, and strength. |

If purple grape juice is turned into wine, it loses some of its flavonoids. To have the benefits advocated for red wine and more, it is better to drink the fresh juice of purple grapes. Plant foods contain about 4,000 flavonoids. |

See article keywords and concepts |  This is also a good reason to go with the higher-quality pomegranate juices mentioned here rather than low-quality juice blends made with apple juice or grape juice (both of which are high on the glycemic index scale). Pure pomegranate juice is far better for your blood sugar than a blend of apple juice or grape juice.
More details on the plastics question
There is increasing concern today about the health effects of eating foods or drinking liquids packaged in plastic. Since most pomegranate juices are packaged in plastic bottles, this is a reasonable concern. |

CANCER: A number of studies have shown a link between grapes and cancer prevention, including the ability to inhibit growth of cancer cells.
Specific cancer types that have been tested include breast, colon, stomach, and leukemia.

See book keywords and concepts |  The hot pressing of grapes during the production of grape juice also allows the extraction of a non-negligible amount of resveratrol; grape juice may thus represent an interesting alternative source of this molecule, especially for children who, because of their smaller total blood volume require a smaller intake to attain desirable levels of resveratrol; for pregnant and nursing women; and for anyone not wishing or unable to consume alcohol. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Poor choice: Juice blends containing some amount of superfruit juice (but mostly apple juice and grape juice or water), made from concentrate, packaged in plastic.
Stupid choice: Juice drinks made with high fructose corn syrup and water, containing a small amount of actual juice, packaged in plastic. These are by far the cheapest juice drinks on the market.
#8: What are the healthiest fruit juices, and what are they good for? | | Tips: Eat a salad or other high-fiber foods before consuming juices made from concentrate (including pom juice, grape juice, orange juice, blueberry juice or even apple juice). These might include a bowl of oatmeal with extra oat bran, a fresh apple (which contains plenty of fiber), whole grains that are well-chewed, or fiber supplements such as glucomannan. You might also add cinnamon to your oatmeal or breakfast cereal, since cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar and effectively lowers the glycemic index of anything you eat during the same meal. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Food sources rich in polyphenols include onion, apple, tea, red wine, red grapes, grape juice, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, and certain nuts. The average polyphenol / flavonoid intake in the U.S. has not been determined with precision, in large part, because there is presently no U.S. national food database for these compounds. (USDA scientists and their colleagues are in the process of developing a database for foods rich in polyphenols.) It has been estimated that in the Dutch diet a subset of flavonoids (flavonols and flavones) provide 23 mg per day. |

Salt. With all this talk of lowering cholesterol and improving the cholesterol ratios, it is easy to forget how important it is to balance the blood pressure and how foods may have a positive or a negative effect on this. For example, a diet low in potassium and high in sodium is associated with high blood pressure. By contrast, a diet high in potassium and low in sodium can protect against elevation of blood pressure. | | Phenols are a class of naturally occurring compounds found in fruits, vegetables, tea, red wine, and grape juice that are in essence antioxidants. These cardioprotective phenols included flavonoids, resveratrol, and curcumin. A daily 25 ml dose of any type of olive oil has been shown to reduce lipid cardiovascular risk factors56 by decreasing oxidative damage on lipids, increasing HDL cholesterol levels, and improving the glutathione balance that protects against oxidative stress. | | Eliminating refined sugar and simple sugars (corn syrup, honey, fructose, maple syrup, white grape juice concentrate, and others) will help to assure optimal immune function. Eliminating saturated fats such as red meat, butter, cheese, and ice cream, even in the short run, will enable the body to utilize essential fatty acids such as the fats from olive oil, canola oil, and ocean fish. These essential fatty acids are important in the promotion of the anti-inflammatory prostaglandins PgEl and PgE3; reducing inflammation is a primary goal in healing a sexually transmitted infection. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Like red and white wines, grape juice has significant amounts of piceid, a resveratrol derivative containing glucose in its structure; scientists speculate that the degradation of this glucose by enzymes present in intestinal flora may release large quantities of resveratrol. grape juice, in other words, is a star in its own right; although its biological functions are still poorly understood, it is likely that this popular beverage will prove beneficial to children and adults alike. |

See article keywords and concepts | | The best-tasting products likely use filler juices such as apple juice and grape juice (which tastes sugary!). Pure pomegranate juice is somewhat bitter and not at all super sweet. So don't judge the quality of these products by how good they taste. The best taste may mean the worst nutrition.
5. Juice concentrates are never as good as fresh juices. Of all the brands reviewed here, most were made from juice concentrates. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Interestingly, the equivalent amount of grape juice, apple juice, green tea, or chocolate—all rich sources of proanthocyanidins or related compounds—did not produce the same result.
"The cranberry's proanthocyanidins are structurally different than the proanthocyanidins found in the other plant foods tested, which may explain why cranberry has unique bacterial anti-adhesion activity and helps to maintain urinary tract health," Howell says.
Best of all, new research seems to point to the use of cranberries for preventing urinary tract infections in the first place. |

See book keywords and concepts | | If your arm muscle tests weak, it shows that any benefit that may be been left in the red wine from the grape juice has been voided. The alcohol in the wine actually causes the shutdown of energy flow to the muscles.
7. Dirty Business with our Food—Genetically Modified
Genetic engineering of food is rapidly becoming an extremely lucrative business that is likely to place man's global food production in the hands of a few powerful people or governments. Whoever controls global food production will also control the world. | | If the study has any real value, why didn't the researchers announce that flavonoids, as found in most plant foods, such as broccoli and fruits, grape juice and, yes, also chocolate, are beneficial for your arteries? But no, they were obliged by their sponsors to announce that "chocolate is beneficial for your arteries." All this is in total disregard to all the other things that are contained in chocolate, that is, lots of sugar, milk, preservatives, coloring agents, artificial flavorings, etc.
The American Dietetic Association (ADA) which is supported by a grant from Mars, Inc. | | If purple grape juice is turned into wine, it loses some of its flavonoids. To have the benefits advocated for red wine and more, it is better to drink the fresh juice of purple grapes. Plant foods contain about 4,000 flavonoids. Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy circulatory system, while alcohol is not. Although the flavonoids contained in red wine may have some beneficial effects on the blood, the alcohol that goes with it, after initially thinning the blood due the alcohol's diuretic effects, makes it thicker than it was before. |

Insulin
Glucose! | | Good sources of chromium include whole grain products, broccoli, green beans, grape juice, and spices. Processed foods and foods high in sugar are poor sources of chromium. Foods high in sucrose and fructose increase chromium loss. Vitamin C in amounts of 100 mg or more increase the absorption of chromium. There is not enough information on chromium to establish RDAs. The adequate intake level (AI) has been set to reflect average intakes. Please refer to Table 13-5 for the adequate intake levels for chromium. | | Sources: whole grain products, broccoli, green beans, grape juice, and spices. Form in the body: trivalent chromium.

See book keywords and concepts | | It is important to note that despite the relatively small amounts of resveratrol in grape juice, this beverage may nevertheless be very beneficial to health. grape juice contains very high levels of anthocyanidins, phenolic acids, and other polyphenols, which, as we have seen, have numerous antioxidant and chemopreventive properties. |

See book keywords and concepts | | However, while some studies show benefit with grape juice, a recent study indicated that it did not provide the same level of support as red wine in protection against damage to LDL. In addition, the study showed that consumption of white wine actually increased LDL ox/dot/on. Red wine contains mainly single molecules of flavonoids, primarily quercetin. In contrast, grape juice flavonoids are usually complexed with other flavonoids and are bound to various sugars that may reduce their bioavailability. Also, the flavonoid content in white wine is significantly lower than that in red wine. | | In fact, grapes and products made from grapes, such as wine and grape juice, are thought to explain the "French paradox." The French eat a diet high in saturated fats and cholesterol yet have a lower risk of heart disease than Americans. One clue that may help explain this is their frequent consumption of grapes and red wine, since both red wine and grape juice have been shown to increase the antioxidant capacity of the blood, protect against vascular damage, and prevent blood platelets from clumping together to form potentially serious blood clots. |
Russell L. Blaylock, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Most canned fruit juices, especially grape juice, also contain added fluoride. grape juice can contain as much as 6 ppm fluoride. Remember, the fluoride itself is highly reactive and will leach aluminum from the can as well. Soft drinks also present special hazards. While all soft drinks containing fluoride will leach aluminum from the can, diet sodas may be worse than regular sodas because the fluoride content, at least in one study, was higher in the diet drinks. Although most aluminum cans now have inner linings, the coating may be defective and can also be fractured during shipping. |
