Non-MEDRS content edit
The following text sections were removed from the article based on WP:BRD as WP:MEDRS, WP:PRIMARY and WP:NPOV, with my comments included. In summary, the content is at the level of preliminary animal research WP:PRIMARY, is presented in a persuasive way (not WP:NPOV) and implies anti-disease effects (not WP:MEDRS. --Zefr (talk) 15:02, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
Based on animal studies it is thought to exhibit anti-cancer, anti-hypercholesterolemia, anti-hypertriglyceridemia properties, as well as the ability to fight off and reverse cognitive decline. It is believed that the compound also has anti-diabetic properties, but so far very little has been studied on this issue. Comment: This is non-MEDRS content.
It is also found in age-old darakchasava, an ayurvedic medicine from India in which the main ingredient is dried Vitis vinifera berries, i.e., raisins. .[1] Comment: This is not WP:RS
Subtitle: Lowering blood lipids and cholesterol. Comment: WP:UNDUE and does not comply with WP:NPOV and WP:MEDRS. Each of the following sections on diabetes, cognitive decline, anti-cancer activity and a human study is WP:PRIMARY, warranting removal.
Comment: Pterostilbene is not a nutrient. The external links removed all fall under WP:PRIMARY and WP:ELNO.

The clinical trials mentioned in this edit are still preliminary research on small numbers of subjects, and are unencyclopedic to suggest they represent effects confirmed by duplicate larger studies. A MEDRS review of completed randomized controlled trials is needed to include in the article. --Zefr (talk) 00:45, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
