polyphenols
Because of the large structural diversity and extensive
metabolism of dietary polyphenols, it is dicult to determine their fate in vivo and assert specic health eects.[1]
Although many are speculated to be part of the healthpromoting eects of consuming fruits and vegetables, no
evidence exists to date that dietary polyphenols actually
provide health benets.[2] To what extent eects would
apply to entire organisms, and clinical outcomes in human disease in particular, remains an undened topic in
nutrition science and disease prevention.[3]
poorly conserved (less than 5%), with most of what is absorbed existing as chemically-modied metabolites destined for rapid excretion.
4 Neonatal eects
Maternal high avonoid content diet is suspected to increase risk of particularly acute myeloid leukemia in
neonates.[7][8][9] High intake of avonoid compounds during pregnancy is suspected to increase risk of neonatal leukemia.[8][10] Therefore, bioavonoid supplements
should be not used by pregnant women.[11]
Bioavailability
5 Carcinogenicity
Some polyphenols, particularly from the avan-3-ol
(catechin-type), have both anticarcinogenic-proapoptotic
and mutagenic eects.[10][12] The DNA changes were increased by treatment with avonoids in cultured blood
stem cells.[13] Some natural polyphenols share the properties of some anticancer drugs such as etoposide and
doxorubicin while other polyphenols may induce DNA
mutations in the MLL gene, which are common ndings
in neonatal acute leukemia.[14]
Cardiovascular health
A review published in 2012 found insucient consensus for the hypothesis that the specic intake of food and
drink containing avonoids may play a meaningful role in
reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. The reviewers stated that research to date had been of poor quality
and the large and rigorous trials are needed better to study
the science, and to investigate possible adverse eects
associated with excessive polyphenol intake. Currently,
lack of knowledge about safety suggests that polyphenol
levels should not exceed that which occurs in a normal
diet.[5]
