Yoli’s “Blast Cap” Nutrition Looks Promising – review by Joe Pagano

Every now and then, something so good comes along that it behooves us as human beings to spread the word so that all can share in the good fortune. Such is the case with the apparent health promoting benefits of acai, pomegranate, and above all resveratrol. Science is showing that there is a correlation between taking these substances and better health. People are starting to look and feel younger everyday, so why shouldn’t you?

Although research is still being done to determine whether acai, for instance, is as health-promoting as claimed by many of the purveyors of acai-based supplements, this fruit serves as a delicious additive to assorted juices, smoothies, and other beverages. Acai has a mix of nutrients including calcium, iron, and vitamin A; moreover, acai contains antioxidants in the form of various flavonoid compounds, and some resveratrol. Given our constant bombardment by all kinds of free radical producing agents, one would think that some acai in our diet, derived from food, or additional acai, as through supplementation, would not hurt our attempts to ward off as much oxidative damage as possible.

Pomegranate, on the other hand, has been shown in laboratory studies and in human pilot studies to impart disease-prevention benefits. In studies, pomegranate reduced heart disease risk factors, namely low density lipoprotein oxidation and foam cell formation. The latter is problematic because accumulation of foam cells in a particular area of the body can lead to stroke or cardiac infarction. If these benefits were not enough, pomegranate has been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure and to be effective against the proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro. Although more studies need to be done, such preliminary findings and results bode tremendous therapeutic and disease-prevention applications of a simple and abundant nutrient.

Now enter resveratrol. Resveratrol is a plant phytoalexin. This fancy word means that resveratrol is a compound produced by plants to defend themselves from invading pathogens (disease-causing agents). If you have not already heard all the buzz about this compound, then you must be spending way too much time working-or working out-and not enough time keeping abreast of the latest nutritional hot words. Although the studies conducted with resveratrol have been largely done with mice and some other species, the potential implications are earth-shattering! If even some of the results cross-apply to humans, then researchers may have just discovered what the ancients had sought for millennia-the fountain of youth!

In studies on mice, resveratrol has promoted longevity and been shown to increase life expectancy. Resveratrol demonstrated profound anti-cancer properties across broad spectrums of carcinogenic cells: breast, skin, colon, gastric, esophageal, prostate, pancreatic, and leukemia type cancer cells all were thwarted by resveratrol interaction. This compound has also been shown to lower blood sugar and thus thwart diabetes. Again, these studies have not been replicated in humans, but such results harbinger the possibility of an agent that could very well be the universal disease prevention elixir!

Resveratrol is found in the skins of grapes, and since grapes are used to make wines, one would expect to find this substance in wine. Indeed this is so and the benefits of imbibing wine, particularly red because of its higher concentrations of resveratrol, have been known for centuries. Unfortunately, in order to get the resveratrol needed to have the benefits discussed above, one would have to drink many, many bottles of wine-to the tune of about 1000-to get the life extending and health promoting benefits promised for from resveratrol studies in mice.

Now given the above discussions, it would behoove one, I think, to look seriously into trying to admit some of these nutrients into the diet, particularly resveratrol. Since this compound has not been shown to be harmful, the worst that could happen is…well nothing; however, the potential benefits are life-changing. New technologies are being developed by some upstart companies to deliver resveratrol into the diet in beneficial ways. Unless you have the budget and time-and tolerance-to drink a 1000 bottles of wine a day—-or eat bushels of blueberries-you might want to check this substance out and how you can get more into your diet. Happy wine drinking…and blueberry eating!
