I have leukemia and have been told that the muscadine grape has been soccessfuly used to fight prostate cancer and is now thought to help leukemia. I have used the whit grape juice....the seed capsules and our local FL res wine. The muscato from Italy is less expensive but it is not mentioned in the medical reports.
