So yesterday at my MO they asked me if I would like to be in a trial (at the VA). Supposedly these grapes given in high dose will help with fatigue and hot flashes.

Muscadine grapes are fat free, high in fiber and they are high in antioxidants, especially ellagic acid and resveratrol. Ellagic acid has demonstrated anticarcinogenic properties in the colon, lungs and liver of mice. Resveratrol is reported to lower cholesterol levels and the risk of coronary heart disease.

So, is this going to be administered as a processed supplement? If it's a clinical trial, it will most likely be a blind study. There's a chance you may get the placebo. My wife ate a lot of almonds when she had hot flashes. Apparently that helps too.

From a "grape review" site:

"Muscadines may be the best grapes you've never tasted. Muscadines can range in color from bronze to dark purple. The texture is softer than conventional grapes — they sort of melt in your mouth — and much sweeter."

“ After a few dalliances in the world of orange and ice wines, it’s time to look at something a little closer to home: Muscadine wine. Possibly the closest thing the United States has to a national grape, Muscadine is a quintessentially American wine that derives its flavor from the Vitis rotundifolia grape.

Along with producing some truly special wine, the grapes used to make Muscadine are well regarded for their high levels of antioxidants and ellagic acids. It’s rare to find a wine grape that doubles as a superfood, but Muscadine fits the bill pretty well!”

I live in southern Alabama not far from the Gulf coast and we have muscadine grapes growing wild all over the place. We have the muscadine, bronze muscadines and scuppernong growing in our woods.. I find they are juicy, and sweet, but most have a little tougher chewy skin. BTW, there are many commercially made muscadine wines. I am a big bold red wine drinker and don't drink whites very often. I do find muscadine wines taste a little medicinal to me.
