Fruit polyphenols and CVD risk: a review of human intervention studies
Adequate intake of fruits high in polyphenols may help confer individuals with lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
This study focused on the association between consistent consumption of polyphenols from fruits and the probability of developing cardiovascular disease. Researchers summarized evidence culled from relevant studies.
Researchers found a link between higher ingestion of fruits rich in polyphenols, such as flavonols, anthocyanins, and procyanindins, and downward trend in cardiovascular disease incidence. This study supports the intake of fruits as a dietary measure for preventing cardiovascular disease.
