More good news about flavonoids

Foods rich in flavonoids may offer postmenopausal women some protection from coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke, according to study results published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. A team at Exponent [a research firm], led by Dr Pamela Mink examined the association between flavonoids, diet, heart disease and death over a 16-year period, and found that three subclasses – anthocyanidins, flavanones, and flavones – are linked to a significantly reduced risk of heart disease, blood vessel disease and cardiovascular disease mortality.
