    There are many other links on the connection of this powerful antioxidant and when I heard of it back in 1995 from a group of doctors and researchers telling us it May prevent cancers, I didn't hesitate to start on it, that was almost 27 yrs ago.

    I believe I was at the right place at the right time.

    I am not sure what the last sentence refers to.

    By the way, the purpose of the Health Care forum is: Discuss the health care system(s) available in various countries.

    Just to note “cytotoxic effects on human cancer cells” means that when Grape Seed Extract was added to cancer cell lines in a Petri dish, the GSE was toxic to cells. This doesn’t mean GSE works the same way in the body and obviously it doesn’t or there would be headlines about that somewhere.

    All I can say if only Grape Seed Extract was advertised on the tv's and how many people could/would
    escape cancers.....it's tragic and Sloan and others are Shut Up by pharma since Grape Seed Ex
    cannot be patented.....cancer is a HUGE money making business. Grape Seed Extract PENNIES,,,

    And another person reported that Sloan K researchers back in the 50's found the Grape Seed Ex connection and was thrown under the bus, no money and no patent for pharma...

    Grape Seed Extract is pennies but there isn't enough to research to support that it prevents cancer and so forth.

    There isn't any conspiracy here for Big Pharma to shut companies up that are interested in GSE as a possible prevention, treatment, adjunct to treatment and so forth.

    Cancer isn't just one disease, it's an entire family of over 200 I believe. There isn't ever going to be one preventative agent, one treatment, or even one cure. Not all cancers can be prevented.

    Let's pretend that it was discovered that Grape Seed Extract did cure cancer or prevent it. Do you believe that Big Pharma would not do everything in its power to exploit that and not being patentable wouldn't stop them. They would find a way to package proanthocyanidins into a pill and make money off it. Even if they didn't, pharmaceutical companies already selling GSE would make billions and billions because the 'cure' or 'prevention' would be needed by millions and millions.

    I don't even know how Big Pharm would have the capability of contributing to such a massive collusion whereby nobody on the planet would be able to promote any preventative/treatment options of GSE. There is a lot of research out there related to GSE.

    There are many preventive things people can do to prevent their chances of getting cancer in the first place -- including taking GSE, if they choose to.

    This link has a list of research articles related to Grape Seed Extract -- https://scholar.google.co.uk/schola...d+extract&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart

    It contains about 32,000 results.

    This link has a list of research articles related to Grape Seed Extract and Cancer -- https://scholar.google.co.uk/schola...les+about+grape+seed+extract+and+cancer&btnG=

    It contains about 21,600 results

    I would say then, that Big Pharma is doing a very poor job of 'shutting up' everybody. I suppose saying that Big Pharma stifles anything positive about GSE is the easiest way for people to explain away a lack of supporting data.

    I didn’t say I didn’t like grape seed info, l said there isn’t enough information from reliable sources that states it has any effect on cancer to the extent you believe it does. It is being researched and as I showed you Big Bad Pharma isn’t shutting people up. Your views on Big Pharma are somewhat distorted

    You don’t need to get all bolded and sweary about it.

    Pharma is not controlling any information about Grape Seed Extract cause there is no reason why they would, it’s not that important to them because it really doesn’t do anything more than a good balanced diet.

    You don’t need to shout either.

    Saying that Pharma won’t allow any good information about GSE is totally erroneous judging by the huge number of studies out there. The world isn’t just made up of Big Pharma. There are independent scientists who work for many Universities or other independent facilities. There are many that work in health care that have nothing to do with Big Pharma. Yes, Big Pharma makes lots of money, yet they also spend a lot on making new and better medications. Pharmaceuticals save lives. There are good things and bad things about Big Pharma, I think most people can appreciate that.

    l don’t really want to get down to the level of asking irrelevant questions (no l don’t work for Big Pharma) nor do I want to get into calling people’ close-minded which really isn’t very nice. At least I can appreciate the negative and positive aspects of Big Pharma.

    And no evidence that grape seeds had anything to do with it. Congratulations for the good health. I can tell you from experience that it is very important. I've not been so fortunate.

    Whoa, this is getting heated, very quickly. When I first read your OP, I thought of resveratrol, which is the fairly expensive, and highly touted health supplement, which came into the spotlight, not too long ago. This comes from the grape skins. The problem is, that digestion destroys this compound. So all the hype around this, is based on lab results, which are completely inapplicable to supplement use. I think MuchAdo had been making a similar point, that there is a difference between laboratory and clinical results. However, the research to which Joyce refers, may suggest that these could be at least, effective forms of "chemotherapy," for colon cancer-- once one is diagnosed-- which, used intravenously, might be far less harmful to the rest of the body, than standard treatments.

    I do believe that she has a point, here, that Pharmaceutical interests are far less motivated to invest in trials of a natural substance, they cannot patent. That said, I know there are some substances that companies tweak enough, to get a patent: I believe Omega-3 fish oil is one of those. Still, in such cases, there would be nothing stopping a different drug maker from just doing their own, superficial tweak.

    In short, IMO, while Joyce seems a bit overly suspicious of the drug industry, MuchAdo's trust in their integrity, seems also, to far exceed what is warranted.

    Is grape seed extract and resveratrol the same thing?

    The key difference between resveratrol and grape seed extract is that resveratrol comes from grape skins, whereas grape seed extract comes from seeds of grapes. According to medical research, a combination of resveratrol and grape seed extract is very effective in killing colon cancer cells.Aug 3, 2022

    Grape Seed Extract, Resveratrol, Astaxanthin (most recent antioxidant) are all kinda related on what they Do. I first started with Pycnogenol and stayed with it for a year and then found Grape Seed Ex (less $$ and as beneficial). To me the money is very affordable for what these have done for me. I have NOT bought a OTC allergy med in about 27 yrs.

    I see my doc once a year for a check in and boy that feels great.
