“…In rat studies, anthocyanins from both the red and purple pigmented potatoes showed protective effects against D-galactosamine or acetaminophen-induced liver damage (Han, Hashimoto et al, 2006;Han, Sekikawa et al, 2006;Han, Shimada, Sekikawa, & Fukushima, 2007;Ohba et al, 2007). These anthocyanins and the glycoalkaloids from potatoes have also been revealed to induce cancer cell apoptosis and may be useful in chemoprevention (Hayashi et al, 2006;Reddivari, Vanamala, Chintharlapalli, Safe, & Miller, 2007;Reddivari, Vanamala, Safe, & Miller, 2010;Yang, Paek, Kozukue, Lee, & Kim, 2006). More recently, Kaspar et al reported their findings of giving pigmented potato (white, yellow, and purple fleshed) meals to healthy male adults for 6 weeks.…”
