Phytoestrogens and cardiovascular disease: where's the meat?

Diet and myocardial infarction: A case-control study in the population of Belgrade

Introduction Several studies have aimed to determine the components of diet that have the highest influence on the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of coronary heart diseases (CHDs) because fruits and vegetables contain protective constituents such as potassium, foliate, vitamins, fibre, and other phenolic compounds.[ 1,2] C...

Lessons from dietary studies in Adventists and questions for the future.

Comparisons of diets and disease rates between Adventists and non-Adventists, and prospective cohort studies among Adventists, have contributed greatly to our general understanding of nutrition and health. The most fundamental conclusion drawn from the Adventist Health Studies has been that maintaining a lean body weight throughout life is central for optimal health. Other contributions have in...

Phytoestrogens: recent developments

Phytoestrogens are polyphenolic non-steroidal plant compounds with estrogen like activity exerted through estrogen receptors. These receptors are distributed in several tissues such as male and female reproductive systems, bones, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. These natural phenolic compounds include isoflavonoids, flavonoids, lignans and stilbenes. Isoflavonoids are the most studi...
