„Flavonoids are exciting compounds, but this booklet barely begins to tell the story before it is over. Avoid.“

„One of the best is a site hosted by the Tea Council, www.health.co.uk . The site provides explicit information about the differences between types of tea, what flavonoids are, the nutritional components of tea, its effects on cancers and heart disease and even oral health. The site draws its conclusions from closely cited studies, most of which have been conducted in the last 10 years. Davidson and Link both reinforce the importance of the health studies published online, perfect fodder for the tea retailer.“

Amazon.com: Books: Jancis Robinson's Guide to Wine Grapes
„(As an added guide to the wine a grape might produce, the Guide includes an easy-to-use visual aid: a horizontal bar with a band which shows the range of quality, from ordinary to superb.) Robinson also shares much fascinating wine history, her deep insight into the wine industry, and more important, her own judgment on a wine. And Robinson does not hedge in judging a wine: discussing Carignan, France's most planted red wine, she comments "Its wine is high in everything--acidity, tannins, color, bitterness--but flavor and charm. This gives it the double inconvenience of being unsuitable for early consumption yet unworthy of maturation." And for Trebbiano, the most planted white grape in Italy (and with Ugni Blanc, which is the name of the grape in France, the second most planted white grape in the world), Robinson notes "the word Trebbiano in a wine name almost invariably signals something light, white, crisp, and uninspiring." Perhaps most important, this portable book can be used in the store as a buying guide. With Robinson's Guide, simply find the grape variety on the label--or, if not listed, turn to Robinson's unique Grapes Behind the Names appendix in the back--look up the entry on that grape, and you will discover everything you need to know to make an informed decision to buy or pass.“

JAMA -- Vascular Effects of Cocoa Rich in Flavan-3-ols, August 27, 2003, Heiss et al. 290 (8): 1030
„To the Editor: In vitro studies have suggested that flavonoids may have specific vascular effects, but their mechanism of action has not been clarified.1 A subclass of flavonoids—flavan-3-ols and their oligomers (procyanidins)—are constituents of cocoa beans, which can be detected in human plasma after ingestion of cocoa.2 In turn, plant extracts rich in flavan-3-ols can increase the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in endothelial cells.3 Nitric oxide is an essential signaling molecule in vascular physiology. Nitric oxide bioactivity can be preserved in human plasma in a circulating pool via increases in a number of nitrosated compounds.4-5 Thus, it is possible that cocoa rich in flavan-3-ols may lead to improved endothelium-dependent dilation via an increase of nitric oxide bioactivity.“
