That's actually very interesting! I always assumed it was just the resveratrol causing the effects. However, it being a confounding variable in the diet makes even more sense. It's actually just the Mediterranean diet that is leading to the positive cardiovascular results and lipid levels. The wine is not helping at all. In fact, malondialdehyde levels went UP in the resveratrol/wine groups! So it's possible that the wine is hurting the positive effects of the Mediterranean diet. Crazy!
