Polyphenols Overrated For Antioxidant Benefits

April 5, 2009: 10:05 AM EST
Polyphenols have no basis as antioxidants and must not be promoted as such in superfruits, according to an analysis on their use. Even worse, claiming that they have such health powers breaks FDA rules. Lack of antioxidant powers extends to dietary flavonoids, although these may affect a variety of cell-signaling pathways, possibly influencing the onset and progression of cancer or cardiovascular diseases.
