Epidemiological studies, and some clinical trials, demonstrate that a proper diet reduces the
rate of occurrence of cardiovascular disorders. Several in vitro studies suggest that some
components of plant foods, most of which sharing a phenolic structure, are endowed with
interesting 'pharmacological activities'. This article reviews the evidence that links a high
dietary intake of phytochemicals from various sources with a reduced incidence of coronary
heart disease.
Abstract
Epidemiological studies, and some clinical trials, demonstrate that a proper diet reduces the rate of occurrence of cardiovascular disorders. Several in vitro studies suggest that some components of plant foods, most of which sharing a phenolic structure, are endowed with interesting ‘pharmacological activities’. This article reviews the evidence that links a high dietary intake of phytochemicals from various sources with a reduced incidence of coronary heart disease.
