NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A University of Connecticut researcher who studied the link between aging and a substance found in red wine has committed more than 100 acts of data fabrication and falsification, the university said Wednesday, throwing much of his work into doubt.

Dipak K. Das, who directed the university's Cardiovascular Research Center, studied resveratrol, touted by a number of scientists and companies as a way to slow aging or remain healthy as people get older. Among his findings, according to a work promoted by the University of Connecticut in 2007, was that "the pulp of grapes is as heart-healthy as the skin, even though the antioxidant properties differ."

HAHAHAAHA...do they do anything ethically there at ConU?

That's sad. Really, really sad. Let's not forget, though, that's it is all about the money.

Totally understood that it's all about the $$. But when they dump public television for commercial, it just comes off as classless.

^ The University of Connecticut awarded television rights to a network located in another state?

Makes perfect sense. Embarassed

I find it mind boggling that you don't distinguish between political donations and donations to Universities.

I find it mind boggling that you can't figure out when I'm having fun with someone and when I'm not.

At this stage, I do not HATE Uconn, as much as just wonder where the administration is in applying any amount of a moral compass/balance.

If lived in Conn., I would be embarrassed and asking serious questions.

If they do not, Conn remains a state I drive through and move on, spending nary a dime.
