Studies on diseased individuals showing benefits from plant polyphenols are different from studies on healthy individuals.

“it's one thing to take a diseased individual who probably has a compromised oxidative stress status metabolic health and and include a polyphenol and say look in this person with underlying disease whether it's diabetes metabolic syndrome many of these studies are done in people who have underlying chronic illness we can include this food and see an improvement in the oxidative stress okay that's a very different situation than going and looking at healthy individuals and that's why i think that so many of these counter studies that don't show benefit are important to consider”
