Are grapes more than merely tasty? When researches at John Hopkins University tested grape powder on rats with athritis, the rodents showed fewer signs of pain than those fed a placebo. The scientists also found that a pain reliever plus grape powder reduced discomfort and swelling more than pill alone. The study was sponsored by the California Table Grape Commission, so keep an eye out for other studies to confirm these results. In the meantime, it can't hurt to munch on grapes, or try grape seed extract.
So, it is advisable to consume grapes totally, don't discard the seeds as I've been practiced since small. The advise was from my beloved father who is 75 years old and free from any health problem besides leading a healthy lifestyles.
