Since the publication of the first edition of Grapes and Health, much research funding has been invested in the further examination of the health-promoting benefits of grapes, exploring areas such as brain health, eye and heart health, as well as more novel areas such as skin health and microbiomics. The wide scope and diversity of the research on grapes and their benefits for human health suggests the necessity of a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the subject. Updating and expanding on its first edition, Grapes and Health (2nd ed.) accounts for the increased use of human trials in researching the effects of grapes on health, thereby demonstrating even more directly the diverse benefits that this fruit can offer the average person by inclusion into their diet. This volume recognizes the power of eating real, simple foods for lasting health-promoting and disease-preventing effects. Experts across the fields of nutrition, microbiomics, pharmacology and more offer their insights into the various mechanisms by which grapes can bolster health and nutrition, improving quality of life and longevity. In Grapes and Health (2nd ed.), food science researchers, grape growers and health professionals alike will find a guide to the varied and complex ways in which this one food item can impact the body. Consumers, meanwhile, will discover a new perspective on this commonplace but often overlooked staple of their diet.

This book offers a thorough review of the scientific research that links the consumption of grapes to better health. Other emerging and important areas of health are examined, ranging from grapes and cancer, where grape consumption has been shown to protect healthy colon tissue;
