Journal ArticleDOI
Tea catechins and polyphenols: health effects, metabolism, and antioxidant functions.
Jane V. Higdon,Balz Frei +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of tea and green tea catechins on biomarker of oxidative stress, especially oxidative DNA damage, appear very promising in animal models, but data on biomarkers of in vivo oxidative stress in humans are limited.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coffee and Health: A Review of Recent Human Research
Jane V. Higdon,Balz Frei +1 more
TL;DR: Current available evidence suggests that it may be prudent for pregnant women to limit coffee consumption to 3 cups/d providing no more than 300 mg/d of caffeine to exclude any increased probability of spontaneous abortion or impaired fetal growth, and there is little evidence that coffee consumption increases the risk of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant Activity of Tea Polyphenols In Vivo: Evidence from Animal Studies
Balz Frei,Jane V. Higdon +1 more
TL;DR: Most promising are the consistent findings in animal models of skin, lung, colon, liver and pancreatic cancer that tea and tea polyphenol administration inhibit carcinogen-induced increases in the oxidized DNA base, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cruciferous vegetables and human cancer risk: epidemiologic evidence and mechanistic basis
TL;DR: In a recent study, the authors found that intake of cruciferous vegetables has been associated with lower risk of lung and colorectal cancer in some epidemiological studies, but evidence of an inverse association between consumption of these vegetables and breast or prostate cancer in humans is limited and inconsistent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity and Oxidative Stress A Direct Link to CVD
Jane V. Higdon,Balz Frei +1 more
TL;DR: The finding that obesity, as measured by body mass index (BMI), is independently associated with oxidative stress is relatively new and confirms recent data from much smaller samples.
