Abstract

Research on the effects of dietary polyphenols on human health has developed considerably in the past 10 y. It strongly supports a role for polyphenols in the prevention of degenerative diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases and cancers. The antioxidant properties of polyphenols have been widely studied, but it has become clear that the mechanisms of action of polyphenols go beyond the modulation of oxidative stress. This supplemental issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, published on the occasion of the 1st International Conference on Polyphenols and Health, offers an overview of the experimental, clinical, and epidemiologic evidence of the effects of polyphenols on health.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Antioxidants promote normal biological functions including healthy cell proliferation, immunological support and prevention of molecular degeneration and premature ageing.

    “Antioxidants promote normal biological functions including healthy cell proliferation, immunological support and molecular degeneration prevention, including the prevention of premature ageing [81].”
  • Antioxidant activities of polyphenolics derived from plants have claimed beneficial health functions for retarding aging and preventing cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

    “Antioxidant activities of polyphenolics derived from plants have claimed beneficial health functions for retarding aging and preventing cancer and cardiovascular diseases (Scalbert et al. 2005).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
