Dietary flavonoids and the development of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases: review of recent findings

van Dam, Rob M.; Naidoo, Nasheen; Landberg, Rikard

Abstract

Evidence from cohort studies and randomized trials suggest beneficial effects of food sources of anthocyanidins (berries) and flavan-3-ols (green tea and cocoa) on cardiovascular health. These findings need to be confirmed in long-term randomized trials, and evaluation of pure compounds will be important to establish what specific flavonoids and doses are effective.
