This book offers a thorough review of the scientific research that
links the consumption of grapes to better health. The book starts
with a basic review of grape biology, including the key families of
phytochemicals found in grapes, and where they are found. An
overview of the rationale for and subsequent creation of a
standardized grape powder for use in basic and clinical research
provides insight and understanding regarding its widespread use in
grape-specific research today. The remaining chapters each
thoroughly examine a key area of health, demonstrating a
significant scope of impact on well-being. The book examines the
role of grapes in supporting heart health under multiple angles:
general cardiovascular effects, as well as specific effects
directly linked to atherosclerosis and hypertension. Other emerging
and important areas of health are examined, ranging from grapes and
cancer, where grape consumption has been shown to protect healthy
colon tissue; grapes and inflammation, where grapes have been shown
to block inflammatory activity in immune cells of fat tissue; to
brain health, where a grape-enriched diet has been shown to protect
against neuronal damage due to loss of oxygen in the brain, as well
as against oxidative stress-related anxiety and resulting memory
loss; to grapes and eye health where grape consumption has been
shown to protect the retina from damage.
