That's true with many unsupported statements in Wiki articles, like the one under Peripheral Edema claiming it can result in PN.

However the Wikipedia article on resvertrol is supported by citations, and fairly credible ones. From footnote 4: "Selling resveratrol: Wonder drug or snake oil?"
Quote:
Rafael de Cabo, a National Institute on Aging investigator who has co-written most of the pioneering studies on resveratrol, says he wouldn't consider taking a resveratrol supplement. And he certainly would not recommend them.
....
"I know many intelligent people who are taking it," DeCabo says. "They are taking their health in their own hands."
I've seen a number of statements now that there just isn't any credible research supporting the claims about resveratrol. What research (please cite/link) are you referring to?
