I didn't know about the fraud but never felt that resveratrol was some super compound especially as it would have to negate the negatives of sugar and alcohol. Had it been so we would all have been drinking red wine from early years. That's how I see things usually working before the era of industrial fake foods. Dry red wine is the only wine I drink occasionally as part of a meal as in France. Whenever I see something is a superfood I don't bother reading.
Over the last few years, I have become more and more skeptical of magic bullets. To be honest, I still look for them. However, I also expect there to be results from actual targets hit, versus hopes that if there were a target, the ostensible magic bullet would hit it.
What I find stunning, and again, I should not, is this. Believers of every stripe, be it those under the siren song of veganism or those who have "heard" that red meat is bad for you, continue to, well, believe it. After the success of the B.S. during the Great Covid Dumpster Fire, I guess it should be obvious. People will believe almost anything, and for a long, long, time.
One less expensive supplement to ever consider. Now, if only I knew whether or not eating more beef (going full paleo) could relieve fingertip excima - any evidence for that? If so, I'm in!
I tried resveratrol after listening to Rob Wolf I think, but I noticed it increased the inflammation in my eye (after surgery I was recovering from), and it's hard to be sure (lot going on back then) but I think it was making me techy af and hurting my kidneys. The eye thing however, was obviously correlated to the periods I took it.

There's only one superfood. Beef, nose-to-tail and fresh.
Preach.

My teeth started falling out when I was eating a lot of liver. But otherwise I think beef is great.

Do you mean eczema? If so, you might find this article interesting: https://tuckergoodrich.substack.com/p/can-a-low-carb-american-diet-cause

So I stopped.
Later I read Ray Peat's article on it:

Made sense in light of my experiences.
There are two things I regret trying, that was one.
