Red Grapes: A Secret Weapon Against Bowel Cancer?

A new study in the UK is looking into whether resveratrol, a compound found in red grapes, blueberries, and peanuts, could be used to prevent bowel cancer.

Scientists are testing if a small amount of resveratrol can stop polyps, little growths in the colon, from growing and potentially becoming cancerous.

The study is recruiting people who are at risk of developing bowel cancer and will see if resveratrol can help protect them.

If successful, this research could pave the way for new preventative measures against bowel cancer.
