| description | According to the available literature evidence, regular consumption of fruits and vegetables is inversely proportional to the risk of developing certain types of cancer. Berries, such as raspberries, have a higher rate of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and chemopreventive properties. These attributes make them useful in the treatment of certain chronic diseases and cancer prevention. Raspberries are enriched with phytochemicals, with polyphenols being the major phytochemical present. These polyphenols include ellagitannins (tannins), phenolic acids, anthocyanins (flavonoids), catechins (flavonoids), and proanthocyanins (flavonoids). Available evidence indicates that natural extracts have no side effects, no drug interactions, and can be safely used in all populations, including pregnant women and children. Therefore, the utilisation of natural products for disease treatment is always encouraged. Berry fruits consistently rank among the top sources of total phenolics and Antioxidant Capacity (AOC), containing levels up to four times greater than other fruits. The polyphenolic compounds in raspberries play a significant role in mitigating the damaging effects of oxidative stress on cells and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, obesity, age-related neurodegenerative diseases, and infection-associated neurodegenerative diseases. |
