In addition to resveratrol, the focus of so much media attention lately, another study has found that red wine is also a source of procyanidins, which appear to have a beneficial effect on cardiac health. Red wines from southwestern France have the highest levels because of the traditional wine making techniques used there. Hmm...that seems to call for a trip the the wine store.

Oh, and procyanidins are also found in dark chocolate (yay!), apples and cranberries.
