TNF, the protein linked to all sorts of age-related physical ailments, is suppressed by resveratrol –found in red wine and other foods — a study finds:

The study, published online ahead of print in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, finds blood samples from those who took resveratrol showed suppression of the inflammatory protein tumor necrosis factor, which causes insulin resistance and the risk of developing diabetes. Blood samples from those who received the placebo showed no change in the pro-inflammatory markers.
