Grape news for juice drinkers If you're looking to promote cardiovascular
health, purple grape
juice may be just what the doctor ordered. A recent study published
in the Journal of
Medicinal Food found that the drink has antioxidant qualities,

Grape Juice Improves Your Blood Flow.
Issue: Jan, 2000
Regular consumption of purple grape juice can help your arteries
respond to increased blood
flow. In addition, grape juice has compounds that slow the processes
that slow LDL oxidation
by more than 34 percent. LDL is a cholesterol component that
contributes to the buildup of
fatty plaques in arteries. Previous studies have shown that purple
grape juice also decreases
the "stickiness" of blood components called platelets, reducing
the risk of clotting, another
cause of heart problems.
