However: The paper/comment does not point to one magic compound, but to a mixture of #caffeine, #catechins, #flavonoids, #theaflavins, #GABA and #tea #polysaccharides. The proposed links are lower oxidative stress and #inflammation, improved endothelial and glucose/insulin function, gut microbiome effects, and possibly reduced #neuroinflammation. …

#AntiCancer Potential of #Cannabinoids, #Terpenes, and #Flavonoids Present in 🌱 #Cannabis
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7409346/
In #cancer, the #endocannabinoidsystem is altered in numerous types of #tumours and can relate to cancer prognosis and disease outcome. Additionally, cannabinoids display anticancer effects in several models by suppressing the proliferation, migration and/or invasion of cancer cells, as well as tumour angiogenesis.

The effect of flavonoids (and exercise and fasting) on depression through stimulation of the release of BDNF.
https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/boosting-bdnf-levels-in-our-brain-to-treat-depression/
So apple pie is a mood enhancer. That tracks.
Note that the author has a pretty definite vegan agenda.

"The #cannabis plant contains hundreds of chemical compounds. Among them #Cannabinoids , #flavonoids and #terpenes are the most relevant. Delta-nine #THC and #CBD are the most abundant cannabinoids and therefore the most studied.
However there are other minor cannabinoids such as delta-eight thc, #thca , thcv, cbg, #cbn , cbc which have been investigated to have therapeutic value (Izzo et al. 2009).
Although the compounds may have therapeutic effects taken alone (as in HEMP-derived isolate), their combined action when present together in whole plants (actually complete flower) extracts, is GREATER than the sum of their individual effects (up to 6x more potent according to recent studies). This enhanced and synergistic response is known as the #entourageeffect .
The combined action of cannabinoids and other molecules in the plant may present clinical advantages such as lower adverse effects and greater efficacy on the therapeutical management of several conditions, such as #anxiety , #depression , #pain , #inflammation , #cancer and bacterial / fungi #infectiousdiseases
If other forms of healing interest you, beyond masking symptoms with synthetic proprietary mono-molecules, check this link for a more up-to-date text on cannabis and the entourage effect:

1/4 Great news for Parkinson's patients! A study found that eating flavonoid-rich foods like berries and red wine can help you live longer. The top 25% of flavonoid consumers had a 70% greater chance of survival than those who didn't. #Parkinsons #Flavonoids

"We examined how these #flavonoids are #oxidized by human #P450 family 1 and 2A #enzymes. Naringenin was principally oxidized at the 3′-position to form eriodictyol by CYP1 enzymes more efficiently than by CYP2A enzymes, and the resulting eriodictyol was further oxidized to two penta-hydroxylated products. In contrast to plant P450 enzymes, these human P450s did not mediate the desaturation of naringenin and eriodictyol to give apigenin and luteolin, respectively."

In a new article, we write about how the phenomenon of #weeds acquiring #herbicide #resistance can lead to positive effects when these weeds are plants of #phytomedical importance and important in #food #technology.
#Cornflower is such a plant, and its herbicide-resistant biotypes have much higher levels of #polyphenols, #flavonoids and free radical scavenging activities - i.e. better #health-promoting properties than herbicide-sensitive biotypes
