Flavonoids find favor in nutrition
A food compound with an unusual
name is last becoming a shining star in
human nutrition.
Scientistsare findingincreasingevi-
dence that a diet rich in flavonoids,
common in many plant foods, helps
decrease the risks of heart disease,
cancer, osteoporosis, blood cholesterol
and other chronic diseases.
Perhaps even better news: most
people already are getting an abun-
dance of llavonoids in their diet and
don't even know it.
"If you're eating plant foods for
vitamins, minerals, fiber, carbohy-
drates and water, yot,'re also getting
lots of flavonoids," said Barbara Lohse
Knous, a nutritioni st with Kansas State
University Research and Extension.
Flav~noids are known as a sub-
group of polyphenols, or a group of
about 6,000 lbod compounds com-
monly found in fruits and vegetables.
The list of foods or other products
containing flavonoids is hmg and in-
cludes grapefruits, oranges, apples,col'-
tee, green tea, onions, red pepper, cel-
ery, soy, wheat and even wine and
chocolate, to name a few.
But the number of human fix~ds
containing flavonoids and other
polyphenols is vast. Research in this
area is very new as scientist and the
U.S. Dept. of Agriculture are just now
trying to develop a data base to cata-"
Iogue and understand the benefits of
these nutrients.
The nice thing you can say is eat
those fruits and vegetables; eat those
plant foods. The whole idea of a plant
based diet is extremely important. Not
only do they have nutrients like vita-
mins and minerals, but they have been
h)und to have all of these other
phytonutrients that we now know help
US survive.
The term phytonutrients refers to
compounds originally developed for
plants. Polyphenols, as nutrients, of-
ten exist in plant foods to help survive
in the environment An orange doesn't
make Vitamin C so that humans who
eat oranges have Vitamin C--an or-
ange makes Vitamin C so that it can
protect itself against the environment,
For example, polyphenols protect
plants foods by killing harmful bacte-
ria and parasites; or acting as antioxi-
dants by stopping the formation of
"free radicals." which are known to
cause cancer. When humans ingest
these foods, the polyphenols provide
the same protective benefits.
Knowing about these phytonutrients
is a bonus. It's like we're getting
something else that we didn't plan on
getting, and !o and behold, they're very
helpful for us.
