Red Grape Compound Could Prevent Bowel Cancer

A new trial in the UK is investigating whether resveratrol, a compound found in red grapes, blueberries, and peanuts, can help prevent bowel cancer.

Researchers are examining if a low dose of resveratrol can stop bowel polyps, small growths that can turn into cancer, from growing.

The study, one of the largest of its kind, will recruit patients at risk of bowel cancer and track the effects of resveratrol on their polyps.

If successful, this research could lead to new ways to prevent bowel cancer for people at risk.
