Anthocyanins are pigments. In plants. Plant flavonoids. Anti-oxidants on roids.
They give the blue, black, purple hues to foods.
Anthocyanins are the “food bomb” as far as food as medicine goes.
There is so much in the literature on how these pigments can protect against cancers (multiple cells lines from colon to breast, especially ER+) and even recurrences, that it is shocking that they are not part of most cancer center programs.
Shame on medicine to push mostly meds. Not foods.
