A collaborative study from Oregon Health & Science
University and the University of Colorado-Denver warns against use of Resveratrol
supplements by pregnant women
A widely available dietary supplement that had been
considered safe — and that some claim provides anti-aging and other health
benefits — caused significant developmental abnormalities in the pancreas of
offspring of pregnant monkeys who were given the supplement, according to a
study published today in the FASEB Journal, from the Federation of American
Societies of Experimental Biology.
