	Flavonoids : by Ray Sahelian, M.D., Health Benefits of Flavonoids
		The flavonoids are further divided into subclasses based on the connection of an aromatic ring to the heterocyclic ring, as well as the oxidation state and functional groups of the heterocyclic ring.
		Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds that occur ubiquitously in fruits and vegetables.
		Flavonoids are components of fruit and vegetables that may be beneficial in the prevention of disease such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

	GMO Food For Thought: Flavonoid-rich GM tomatoes could boost heart health
		Tomatoes genetically modified to have high flavonoid content could reduce the levels of a protein in a mouse that is associated with inflammation, diabetes and heart disease in humans, says a study by BASF, TNO and two universities in Holland and Germany.
		To increase the flavonoid content in the tomato the Dutch and German researchers inserted Petunia chalcone isomerase (CHI) and Gerbera hybrida flavone synthase (FNS) genes into tomato plants to obtain the final transgenic plant, Lycopersicon esculentum cv.
		And it is the effect of these flavonoids, propose the researchers, on the signalling of the so-called nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-kB), a pro-inflammatory protein that is also said to activate a variety of human cancers, that could be behind the benefits.
