A study published in the journal Nutrition Research examined the effects of acute consumption of organic and conventional juices made from fox grapes (Vitis labrusca L.) on antioxidant biomarkers in healthy people. Researchers from the Federal University of Santa Catarina in Brazil conducted the study.
Taken together, the researchers concluded that grape juice could increase the antioxidant defenses of a person without affecting his glycemic status.
