There has been talk about the high fat diet found in France and the high consumption of red wine. Did the red wine play a role in their health despite consumption of a high-fat diet?

 

A lot of research studies in the early 1990’s to present has been underway to answer questions about the discovered phytochemical found in red wine and red grape skins called resveratrol.
