Torkill Bruland Posted June 29, 2013 Posted June 29, 2013 What about flavonoids and cancer? Heard about this subject the other day, and here's the best sources of info I've found about this so far: * From PubMed, 2011: "...growing evidence of the versatile health benefits of flavonoids including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiproliferative and anticancer activity, freeradical scavenging capacity, antihypertensive effects, coronary heart disease prevention and anti-human immunodeficiency virus functions. This paper reviews the current advances in flavonoids in food with emphasis on mechanism aspects on the basis of the published literature, which may provide some guidance for researchers in further investigations and for industries in developing practical health agents." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21222576 * Pubmed: Green tea (EGCG) as a drug candidate for the treatment of human cancer: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20537126 Here's the USDA Database for the Flavonoid Content of Selected Foods, Release 3.1 (2013)
