Eat More Phytochemically Rich “Hyperfoods” to Fight COVID-19
In [1], scientists use a machine learning approach to identify potential bioactive anti-COVID-19 molecules in foods. Top-Ranked Hyperfoods to Fight COVID-19 Using a network-based machine learning method, scientists have shown that certain plant-based foods such as: Berries Cruciferous vegetables Apples Citrus fruits Onions Garlic Beans are most enriched in terms of the diversity and relative abundance of bioactive molecules targeting the SARS-CoV-2- human interactome . For instance, blackcurrant is the top-ranked food source, which has the below phytochemical profile : alpha-tocopherol arachidonic acid catechol cinnamaldehyde coumarin kaempferol quercetin quercetin 3-rutinoside myricetin n-butanoate daidzein genistein procyanidin selenomethionine trans-resveratrol trehalose Figure 1. The contained profiles of compounds within specific foods, with predicted effectiveness in targeting SARS-CoV-2-host interactom...
