Phenols
Phenols are a large class of phytonutrients that has been the subject of extensive research as a disease preventive. Phenols protect plants from oxidative damage and may perform the same function for humans. The blue, blue-red, and violet colorations seen in berries, grapes, and purple eggplant are due to their phenolic content. Bilberries, for example, are high in phenolic anthocyanidins and are red in color. The outstanding phytonutrient feature of phenols is their ability to block specific enzymes that cause inflammation. They also modify the prostaglandin pathways and thereby may prevent platelets from clumping.
