The long-term addition of grapes to the diet of mice results in distinctive gene expression patterns, lowers fatty liver, and lengthens the longevity of animals consuming a high-fat western style diet, according to extensive research that were recently published in the journal Foods. Dr. John Pezzuto of Western New England University served as the team's leader. Pezzuto, who has published over 600 papers in the scholarly literature, expressed his extreme amazement at these findings. "We've all heard the adage "you are what you eat,' which is plainly accurate as eating is how we all develop from fetuses to adults. However, these research give that proverb a completely new meaning. In addition to being transformed to our bodily components, food also alters the expression of our genes, as demonstrated by our research with dietary grapes. That is genuinely amazing. What impact does this change in gene expression have? This study demonstrates how fatty liver can be s...
