The French team found that high and low doses of polyphenols have different effects.

Most notably, very high doses of antioxidant polyphenols– equivalent of one bottle of red wine per day — were able to shut down and prevent cancerous tumors, by cutting off the formation of new blood vessels needed for tumor growth.

Alternatively, relatively low doses of polyphenols – equivalent to approximately one glass of wine a day — were found to play a beneficial role in combating heart disease, benefiting your circulatory system by facilitating blood vessel growth.

Polyphenols are commonly found in:

  • Red wine

  • Fruits

  • Vegetables

  • Green tea.
