Doing a quick search for resveratrol on scholar.google.com shows quite a few studies in peer-reviewed journals dating back several years. They indicate it extends the life of mice on a high-calorie diet, inhibits the oxidation of human LDL, is an agonist for the estrogen receptor among other things. I'm not sure why you would say there are no studies. I didn't (and in many cases couldn't) read the complete studies because of subscription requirements, etc. so I can't judge the validity of the test methodology used. I would hope that Lancet and other prestigious journals would not publish something based on anecdotal reports from a handful of individuals. I agree that the human body is a complex system and what we take into our bodies will act differently than it does in test tubes. From what I've gathered, there are studies that show antioxidants extinguish free radicals and the researchers postulate on the effects that will have in the human body. When the tests are done in vivo rather than in vitro, results are inconclusive at best. From what I've seen, those tests are usually on one substance, vitamin E, for example. We've all seen the poor results of those studies. I have a couple of blog posting about this. For the above reasons I choose not to depend on a pill with a specific antioxidant or even a single food source that is high in antioxidants, but want to consume a variety of foods that are high in antioxidants and have a wide variety of antioxidants, phytosterols and flavonols. I take supplements, but they are multi-vitamins and CoQ10 (to counteract the effects of the statin I'm on). It seems like that is how our bodies were designed and trying to take shortcuts usually doesn't work. I’m no scientist, so I have to rely on the research of others.
