A study carried out in the Cajal Institute reveals how the consumption of polyphenols in the diet can be associated with a lower incidence of chronic-degenerative diseases. Polyphenols comprise several groups of compounds found naturally in plant-based foods and beverages, and are transformed by the gut microbiota into more bioavailable compounds.
