It helps to understand what doctors know and what they don't know.
Doctors are not educated heavily in chemistry and biochemistry. For this reason, they don't understand drugs for the most part, and rely on drug sales people to explain the drugs to them, much to our detriment.
Ask a doctor what polyphenols are, or congeners, or sulfites, and you will probably not get an answer, unless he collects wines or owns a winery.
Some allergists know what sulfites are, and may know what polyphenols are because these see people with allergic reactions. But a neurologist? I would not expect them to know much chemistry. And if older, I'd expect very little chemistry.
