05 May 2017 --- Consuming the antioxidant resveratrol may reduce artery stiffness in some people with Type 2 diabetes, according to a short term study presented at the American Heart Association’s Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, Peripheral Vascular Disease 2017 Scientific Sessions. Resveratrol is a natural compound found in red wine, peanuts, berries and the skin of red grapes. As the body’s largest artery, the aorta, becomes stiffer, the risk of heart attacks and strokes increases.
