i recall reading , i can't remember if it was the same study or not, but the
thing in the grapes that helped is called 'reversatrol' (i think), and it is
mainly found in the skin of the grapes, and the darker the grape, the more
of it there is.  so i would think that actually eating the grapes
themselves, as opposed to the juice, you'd get more of this substance.
