Color of Foods?

Hello,

"By eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables - green,
yellow-orange, red, blue-purple, and white - you're giving your body
a wide range of nutrients that are important for good health. Each
color offers something unique, like different vitamins, minerals, and
disease-fighting phytochemicals, that work together to protect your
health. Only fruits and vegetables, not pills or supplements, can give
you these nutrients in the healthy combinations nature intended. Here
are some examples:
http://www.5aday.gov/color/ "

We have scientific understandings that different colored fruits can
effect differently anh have different nutrients which may be common as
per color. Can you tell me that:-

1, Whether fruits of different colours only give differenciating
effects or all other foods and other substances can all effect
differently & specifically by their colors?

2. Which colour is countable in this respect--of skin, of flesh, of
pulp, of plant, of seeds, of juice, of processed food or otherwise?

3. Can different colored fruits be different smell/flavour or taste
specific?

4. What can be the science of "colours producing specific effects" as
per their colors?

5. Whether "Color Therapies" as indicated in CAMs can be scientific in
this sense?

6. How colors can be related to cardiology, diabetology and immunology?

Best wishes.

I think the information under the link that you sent is misleading -
this webpage does not contain a new theory of fruit colours.

You said "We have a scientific understanding that different colored
fruits can effect differently and have different nutrients which may be
common as per color." Where does this science come from? If it is
science, what is the theory then? The link that you provided does not
provide a theory of fruit colours.

When doctors commonly advice to eat fruits as per colours and presence
of different nutriens, vitamins..in different colour fruits, is not a
scientific understanding? You may not like links of "color therapies"
as CAM...so not mentioning.

"Vegetables, fruits and phytoestrogens in the prevention of diseases


The intake of 400-600 g/d of fruits and vegetables is associated with
reduced incidence of many common forms of cancer, and diets rich in
plant foods are also associated with a reduced risk of heart disease
and many chronic diseases of ageing. These foods contain phytochemicals
that have anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties which confer
many health benefits. Many phytochemicals are colourful, and
recommending a wide array of colourful fruits and vegetables is an easy
way to communicate increased diversity of intake to the consumer. For
example, red foods contain lycopene, the pigment in tomatoes, which is
localized in the prostate gland and may be involved in maintaining
prostate health, and which has also been linked with a decreased risk
of cardiovascular disease. Green foods, including broccoli, Brussels
sprouts and kale, contain glucosinolates which have also been
associated with a decreased risk of cancer. Garlic and other
white-green foods in the onion family contain allyl sulphides which may
inhibit cancer cell growth. Other bioactive substances in green tea and
soybeans have health benefits as well. Consumers are advised to ingest
one serving of each of the seven colour groups daily, putting this
recommendation within the United States National Cancer Institute and
American Institute for Cancer Research guidelines of five to nine
servings per day. Grouping plant foods by colour provides
simplification, but it is also important as a method to help consumers
make wise food choices and promote health."

I didn't read the link you gave, but the thing behind the advice to eat "as
colorful a food as you can" is:
The most colorful foods are vegetables - if you eat more vegetables and vary
a lot between different kinds, chances are, you get all the nutrients you
need since every food has different properties.

Yes that can be correct, but can't colours effect food's constituents
and nutrients in them? Looking bit scientifically;

Different foods can be genetically predisposed to get certain nd
specific constituents. Different coloured objects reflect those
wavelengeths specific to their colours on exposure to light/sun-light
and absorb other wave lengths. Can't such absorptions and
reflections(energies) cause specific form/constitution of those objects
specific to their genetically predisposed colours?

Try a juice called acai. It's much much better than wine etc for color.
I get mine at the health produce store.
It's also high in Omega 3, 6, and 9. Acai is a small berry grown in
Brazil.

There is suppose to be a better acai pulp product around but I can't
find it where I live.

That may be the only juice form available. The taste does have a hint
of chocolate. I've tried three flavors. The taste is more or less
fruity. I put it in the ice box to keep it fresh which makes the
plastic container expand (the flat bottome becomes curved). That's how
I've gotten it from the store, sometimes.

I learned of Acai from the following book,

Perricone Promise: Look Younger, Live Longer in Three Easy Steps
Nicholas Perricone
ISBN: 044650016X
Format: Hardcover, 320 pp
Pub. Date: October 2004
Publisher: Warner Books, Incorporated

The author recommends Acai in his list of ten things to do to live a
better life!
