From Science Daily:
Full article: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0404125355.htmWhile similar in structure to resveratrol -- the compound found in red wine, grapes and peanuts that is thought to combat cancer, heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases -- piceatannol might be an important weapon against obesity. Resveratrol is converted to piceatannol in humans after consumption.
"Piceatannol actually alters the timing of gene expressions, gene functions and insulin action during adipogenesis, the process in which early stage fat cells become mature fat cells," Kim said. "In the presence of piceatannol, you can see delay or complete inhibition of adipogenesis."

Hi, I tried a quick internet search to see what foods are most rich in piceatannol, it's harder to find out than resveratrol, but the closest I found is here:

in the Introduction it gives a list of plants.
If anybody finds something better, could you be so kind as to post it please?Follow my 2018 competition prep here:
