antioxidant flavonoid compounds found in apples — quercetin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin, kaempferol and other polysyllabic wonders — play a key role by preventing «bad» LDL cholesterol from oxidizing and triggering a series of events that result in the buildup of plaque in arteries, as well as inhibiting inflammation.
Modern research has identified
potent flavonoid compounds, called anthocyanins, which may be directly related to their health promoting properties.
In turn, it has numerous anti-inflammatory properties, which can be attributed to several different
flavonoid compounds such as gossypin, gnaphalin, hesperidin, hibifolin, hypolaetin, oroxindin, and quercetin.
