This book has a lot of valuable information about muscadine grapes that doesn't seem to be available anywhere else. The wine from muscadines has more resveratrol than any other wine, including pinot noir, which was what I thought had the most. It also is very high in polyphenols and other beneficial and natural compounds. The book does promote supplements made from muscadines, and I'm not sure they have the same benefits, having been dried or processed in some way. Even so, I'm glad I bought the book.

This book is great for anyone who already loves muscadine grapes or who is curious about their special chemistry and effects on the body. It has chapters on phytochemicals and cancer, heart disease, diabetes and longevity. Every chapter has pictures and diagrams to show what Dr. Hartle is discussing. I like this book, but then I love those muscadines!
