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.

Chris 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." http://www.jpgmonline.com/article.as...t=Heber;type=0 cguttman, the above link tells something. |

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. Christopher Lusardi Lost 110 lbs, 100 8 1/2 years ago |

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! Christopher Lusardi |
