A substance in red wine not only could make for a healthier heart but might also be used to treat a certain cancer affecting babies and children, according to a professor studying the substance at the cancer center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Arthur Polans, professor of ophthalmology and visual sciences at the UW-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, has been studying the substance resveratrol for five years in his laboratory at the Paul P. Carbone Comprehensive Cancer Center.
