So let's look at the data and they use between 100mg/kg-1000mg/kg of resveratol which is given orally to the mice to get it to stop EAE....I must admit I do not find the effects that compelling.
Have a look for yourself they are open access. Diminution of EAE by a small bit is not that earth shattering. This does not give me the confidence that resveratol will stop the disease, however it may other desirable effects).
Now think that Red wine has about 0.2-6mg/Litre so if you drink a bottle of wine that is about 1mg/kg so about 100 to 1000 times less than stuff done in mice.
So drinking red wine to get rid of your MS is not going to happen.
Therefore we need to be cautious about how we interpret and use data from the animals.
Does this mean we should stop eating blueberries, I would take this information with "a pince of salt" (=to listen to a story or an explanation with considerable doubt) or maybe not (another dietary misnomer).
