    "UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers are asking for the help of professional boxers to study a component in red wine.

    Their involvement could help fight the short-and long-term effects of concussions.
    The researchers are looking to get about two dozen pro boxers to take the neuroprotective compound resveratrol after a fight to see if it lessens damage to the brain after impact and helps restore delicate brain functions and connections through its antioxidant effects."

    We're not sure when their brains were damaged, though.

    True, but I think we can at least determine it's from the violent, head-jerking, repetitive whiplash inducing reaction of getting skull-****ed by their favorite fighter repeatedly. The trauma between that and taking a punch that snaps a fighter's head back should be eerily similar.

    Study is not about congenital defects.

    About Resverstrol, P, there's solid evidence that it blocks the progression of some cancers.
