Fruits have Positive Impact on Health
2008-03-06 23:43:00
An overwhelming body of research has now firmly established that the dietary intake of berry fruits has a positive and profound impact on human health, performance, and disease. Berry fruits, which are commercially cultivated and commonly consumed in fresh and processed forms in North America, include blackberry ( Rubus spp.), black raspberry ( Rubus occidentalis), blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum), cranberry (i.e., the American cranberry, Vaccinium macrocarpon, distinct from the European cranberry, V. oxycoccus), red raspberry ( Rubus idaeus) and strawberry ( Fragaria x ananassa). Other berry fruits, which are lesser known but consumed in the traditional diets of North American tribal communities, include chokecherry ( Prunus virginiana), highbush cranberry ( Viburnum trilobum), serviceberry ( Amelanchier alnifolia), and silver buffaloberry ( Shepherdia argentea).

Compounds in Goji Berries and Other Plants May Prevent Blood Clots
2008-02-28 23:09:00
Compounds in Goji Berries and Other Plants May Prevent Blood Clots: ARS researchers have recently identified, characterized, and synthesized two plant compounds, which might inhibit blood clotting. The research, led by Dr. Jae Park at the Beltsville Human Nutrition Research Center’s Phytonutrients Laboratory, could lead to a range of food additives and supplements that reduce the risks of heart disease and strokes. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is characterized by the buildup of fat, calcium and protein that form plaque. Fatty plaque can heighten the onset of blood clots, caused by an aggregation of platelets, and lead to heart attacks or strokes. After excessive screening of different phytochemicals, Park identified N-Caffeoyldopamine, N-Couraroyldopamine, and their analogs, as the best compounds for further study. These compounds are found naturally in foodstuffs such as Goji Berries, cocoa, and sweet peppers. The compounds work by inhibiting key reactions that may lead to bl...
