So when we uncovered a link showing that Das and Sinclair served together on the scientific committee of the “first international scientific conference of Resveratrol and Health” in Denmark in 2010, we figured we’d ask Sinclair whether he had misspoken. He responded:720 WHAT? For selling people resveratrol? Oh my, oh my, and these hypocrites complained that Atkins made money selling his book.
I apologize. I did not expect my off-the-cuff comments to be printed. I will be more careful.We appreciate Sinclair’s candor, although we feel obligated to note that he is hardly media-naive, having been quoted in countless articles about resveratrol over the years. He co-founded Sirtris, later sold to GlaxoSmithKline for $720 million, based on his early work on resveratrol
But yes, compared with hundreds (!) of millions, that guy Dipak Das was small fish.

Comments are most welcome! But please:
- No SPAM whatsoever, no supplements, no pharmaceuticals, no herbs or any other advertisements
- Absolutely no quack-doctors pushing their quack-BS websites (and if you are a quack, I will call you out)
- Be critical if you want to, but try to be coherent
Comments are moderated, because I am tired of Gerwyn-V99-The-Idiot and his moronic sockpuppets, and tired of the story of the two dogs, but I will try to publish everything else.
If you are not Gerwyn (and want to tell me something other than the story of the two dogs), then relax and write something! :-)
