A study published in the journal Nutrition Research reported that dietary powder made from grapes promotes cytokine production. In the study, researchers from the University of California, Davis used dietary recall data to determine if dietary patterns or the grape powder was the cause of increased cytokine production.
The researchers concluded that the consumption of dietary grape powder can promote cytokine production, particularly in obese individuals.
