ABSTRACT
According to a review of kaempferol, some epidemiological studies have found a positive association between the consumption of foods containing kaempferol and a reduced risk of developing cancer and cardiovascular disease.1 Although two epidemiologic studies reported little association between dietary intake of kaempferol and lung cancer, a population-based case-control study (n = 558 lung cancer cases and 837 controls) found an inverse association between kaempferol intake and lung cancer among tobacco smokers.2 Some experimental research has shown kaempferol and some of its glycosides to have a wide range of pharmacological activities, including analgesic, antiallergic, anticancer, antidiabetic, anti-inammatory, antimicrobial, antiosteoporotic, antioxidant, antiapoptotic, anxiolytic, cardioprotective, estrogenic/ antiestrogenic, and neuroprotective.1,3
