"......Although researchers have known that resveratol, a compound in grape skin and compounds in grape seed extract may prevent colon cancer cells from growing, scientists have not known how the two compounds work together. CSU's (Colorado State U)study shows the compounds must work together-making the whole,seeded red or purple grape a perfect colon-cancer fighting food.
