As a result, a detailed analysis of the results, it was found that the flavonoids in terms of development of degenerative brain diseases fundamentally different impact on male and female body. In men, a diet high in fruits will reduce the risk of developing Parkinson's disease by 40%. Surprisingly, a similar effect in women nor there at all. That is, from the use of foods high in flavonoids risk of developing Parkinson's disease may increase, while the benefits to the heart and blood vessels, as well as reducing the risk of some other disease is present in women just as much as men. Scientists have not yet taken to give any explanation for this phenomenon.
