Effects of flavonoid-rich foods on carbonyl stress in healthy adults
This study tests whether eating foods rich in flavonoids (like green tea, apples, blueberries, soy milk, and pineapple) can reduce carbonyl stress, which is a type of cell damage linked to aging and chronic diseases. If you qualify, you'll be asked to follow a diet with these foods for a period, and yourblood and urine samples will be taken to measure changes.
