Sermon 49: Mike Adams discusses GRAPES as God’s amazing natural medicine and nutrient powerhouse
By Kevin Hughes // Sep 20, 2024

The Health Ranger Mike Adams talked about grapes being God's amazing natural medicine and nutritional powerhouse in his 49th sermon on the "Health Ranger Report," part of his 100 Sermons series.

He based the 49th sermon on a verse from the Gospel of St. Matthew, which reads: "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" (Matthew 7:16)

According to Adams, grapes are symbols of abundance and God's grace in the Bible, with the Father talking about grapes and vines as representing blessings and good things for humanity.

The Bible nutrition educator noted that grapes are a nutrient powerhouse, with resveratrol being one of its most potent plant compounds. Resveratrol helps treat alcoholic fatty liver disease, reduce risk of bone fractures and slow the progression of lung disease.

Resveratrol also addresses cognitive decline, improves cardiovascular health and prevents heart disease. It has also been found to kill cancer stem cells and lower breast cancer risk by blocking estrogen growth factor. (Related: Grapes: Versatile fruit with health benefits.)

Adams cited a February 2019 paper that looked at the health benefits of resveratrol from clinical studies. According to the study published in Medicinal Research Reviews, resveratrol "is reported to potentially improve the therapeutic outcome" in patients with various health issues. These include diabetes mellitus, obesity, various kinds of cancers, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, kidney diseases and rhinopharyngitis.

Given this, the Natural News and Brighteon.com founder noted that resveratrol may be the closest to a natural cure-all of any nutrient ever found in the world.

Resveratrol's healing power also found in red wine

The Bible nutrition educator also cited a study published January 2014 in Nutrients, which touched on flavonoids in red wine. According to the paper, these flavonoids from red grapes used to make red wine are the plant compounds most responsible for the "French paradox" – in which the French remain healthy even though they consume a great deal of saturated fats, thanks to their substantial consumption of red wine.

The same study also found that flavonoids have cardioprotective, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer and antimicrobial properties. Adams continued that gallic acid in grapes has been shown to possess various therapeutic properties, including antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antiviral activities.

The Bible nutrition educator mentioned that grape plants produce more resveratrol in the presence of natural molds or fungi. Plants that survive being attacked by fungi or bacteria end up being the strongest. These same plants produce powerful molecules that end up being beneficial for people.

"This is one of the reasons why permaculture or organic farming practices produce food that is so much healthier because in organic agriculture you're not spraying all these synthetic pesticides and chemicals on the plants," Adams said. "You're letting the plants generate their own defenses as much as possible. They allow the plants to build their own defenses as much as possible."

He continued that ancient people were making wine – which is essentially fermented grape juice – and drinking this superfood about 7,000 years ago. The fermentation process involved in wine production makes the nutrients in grapes highly bioavailable. He advised people to take red wine as a nutritional supplement instead of grape juice, which is mostly fruit sugar.

Adams reminded people that while getting good quality red wine is important, they should consume it moderately and enjoy it responsibly. He also advised people not to buy seedless grapes because many of the most potent nutrients are found in the grape seeds.
