including modulating blood sugar, regulating heartbeat, reducing the risk of cancer, fighting inflammation and boosting the immune system.
Included on this phytonutrient list are tyrosols (
oleuropein, tyrosol, hydroxytyrosol), flavones (apigenin, luteolin), secoiridoids (
oleuropein), anthocyanidins (cyanidins, peonidins), hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic, cinnamic, ferulic, and coumaric acids), flavonols (quercetin, kaempferol), lignans (pinoresinol), and hydroxybenzoic acids (vanillic and syringic acids).
