Yes it is. Check it out on Wikipedia.
Yup.
Yes.
resveratrol
Resveratrol is a substance that is produced by several plants and that is sold as a nutritional supplement. A number of beneficial health effects, such as anti-cancer, anti-viral, neuroprotective, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and life-prolonging effects have been reported. Resveratrol is found in the skin of red grapes and as a constituent of red wine may explain the “French paradox” that the incidence of coronary heart disease is relatively low in southern France despite high dietary intake of saturated fats.
Yes, that is how I have always seen it.
I first saw a reference to it in a magazine article back in ’95 or ’96 about my favorite wine, Valpolicella Recioto.
