Muscadine Medicine describes the health benefits of Muscadine and Scuppernong grapes. For the casual reader, it explains the phytochemical content and new scientific evidence about how the phytochemicals help "phyte" heart disease, inflammation, diabetes, aging and cancer. For growers and people who make muscadine specialty products, it describes health benefits of muscadines, scuppernongs, juices, wines, grape seed powders, extracts and more!

If you'd like to learn more about the health benefits of ellagic acid and other polyphenols in muscadine grapes, I recommend a book called Muscadine Medicine by Drs. Diane K. Hartle, Phillip Greenspan and James L. Hargrove of the University of Georgia.
"The Science behind a Taste of the South!" This book delves deeply into the benefits and pleasures of muscadine nutrition. It focuses on how the unique phytochemical content of this special American grape can help improve your heart health, lower cancer risk, and let you enjoy a longer life. Did you ever wonder how many chromosomes a grape has, or if grapes can be used to prevent erectile dysfunction? Me neither, but it is all here! Buy a copy and take it home to read while you sip a bit of muscadine juice or wine in the evening! This book is about science but is written from the heart.
