Subject: Interesting nutrition research... Author: Tess [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: Saturday, June 28, 07:54:09pm Just got this in a newsletter and wanted to share...what do you think? -------------------------------- RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: Polyphenols -------------------------------- A diet rich in a class of bioflavonoids, the polyphenols, may reduce the risk of chronic disease by reducing oxidative stress, according to researchers at the Sookmyung Women's University who published a study in the June issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition (22, 3:217-23, 2003). Based on epidemiological evidence showing dietary polyphenols reduce the risk of chronic disease, researchers compared the effects of polyphenol-rich and -depleted diets in 19 healthy, non-smoking women. The two dietary interventions -- polyphenol-rich and -depleted -- lasted six days each, separated by a three-day washout period. Blood and urine samples were collected at baseline, day three and day six, and researchers analyzed them for oxidative stress markers, including plasma antioxidant vitamins, erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and lymphocyte DNA damage. The researchers concluded that "diets rich in polyphenols may decrease the risk of chronic disease by reducing oxidative stress."
