Flavonoids Reduce Cancer Risk

Friday, May 23, 2008 - Byron J. Richards, CCN

Flavonoids are a natural component of fruits, vegetables, red wine, and many dietary supplements that possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic properties.  A newly published study builds on the extensive science showing anti-cancer properties.  Those with the most flavonoids in their diet had a 47% less risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (lymphatic system related white blood cell cancers).

This finding is very important because we live in a polluted world with a polluted food supply.  These toxins must be cleared by your lymphatic system as part of your natural detoxification processes.  Unfortunately, our environments are causing overtime work for our lymph systems – posing a unique strain on them that can readily lead to poor health through “clogged plumbing” and ongoing toxic exposure.

In addition to diet many nutrients are part of the flavonoids family.  Some of the more popular ones include quercetin, milk thistle, and grape seed extract.  Having these in your diet on a regular basis ensures a higher level of protection against the inevitable exposure to multiple toxins.  Also working to ensure your detoxification and plumbing systems are up to par is a key foundation of health.
