This is the first study in humans to look at the associations between the range of flavonoids in the diet and the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and our findings suggest that a sub-class of flavonoids called anthocyanins may have neuroprotective effects.”

Prof. Aedin Cassidy of the University of East Anglia People who consume high amounts of berries, tea and other foods rich in flavonoids are at a significantly lower risk of developing Parkinson’s disease.

A joint team of UK and US researchers have found further evidence showing the benefits of flavonoids, a class of antioxidants naturally found in plants.

A handful of studies have tied higher consumption of flavonoids to lower risk of health conditions such as different forms of cancer, cardiovascular disease and dementia.

A recent analysis of the 20-year data of 130,000 people, including more than 800 patients with Parkinson’s, showed that plants rich in the health tonic chemical may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s by 40 percent.

“This is the first study in humans to look at the associations between the range of flavonoids in the diet and the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and our findings suggest that a sub-class of flavonoids called anthocyanins may have neuroprotective effects,” said Prof. Aedin Cassidy of the University of East Anglia.

“Interestingly, anthocyanins and berry fruits, which are rich in anthocyanins, seem to be associated with a lower risk of Parkinson's disease in pooled analyses,” added Dr. Xiang Gao of Harvard School of Public Health.

“Participants who consumed one or more portions of berry fruits each week were around 25 percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease, relative to those who did not eat berry fruits. Given the other potential health effects of berry fruits, such as lowering risk of hypertension as reported in our previous studies, it is good to regularly add these fruits to your diet,” he added.
