What It Is About Grapes?
Science has documented what it calls "The French Paradox". This is a very real phenomenon in certain areas of France and in the Mediterranean where the typical diet is high in fat and cholesterol thanks to meats such as pork.

Yet despite this fact, the people in these regions do not die of heart attacks.

The reason for this is because they tend to drink a lot of red wine. Red grapes contain special chemicals such as quercetin, proanthocyanidins (OPC) and tannins. These substances help reduce cholesterol and can lower the chance of a heart attack in people by as much as 40%. If you do not want to drink red wine, you can buy capsules which contain the skins of these red grapes. They contain this desired chemicals.

What makes all grapes great, is that they contain what are called natural cell salts. These are substances which act to clean and purify cells and they rid the body of dangerous toxins.
