“…Several studies have indicated the anti-cancer potential of polyphenolic compounds, and in particular their ability to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells via their effects on the cell-cycle and/or apoptosis (Lee et al, 2006;Ramos, Rodríguez-Ramiro, Martín, Goya, & Bravo, 2011;Vu et al, 2012), and have suggested their use as novel dietary chemopreventive agents (Araújo, Gonçalves, & Martel, 2011). For example, the antiproliferative effects of polyphenolic extracts from olive oil (Corona et al, 2007), red wine (Gómez-Alonso et al, 2012), tomato (Saunders, 2009), araçá (Medina et al, 2011), raspberry (Coates et al, 2007) and cranberry (Vu et al, 2012) have been reported.…”
