“…[277] The inhibitory activity of resveratrol against iNOS is also well documented in the literature. [278] Given the health benefits of resveratrol for hypertension, obesity, inflammation, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, this compound can offer an interesting pharmacological approach for the treatment of the metabolic syndrome, which is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. [279] The main part of the dietary intake of resveratrol is in the trans-resveratrol form.…”

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" was expressed by Hippocrates more than 2000 years ago and the health benefits of natural food products have been considered for different goals since the ancient times. As natural phytochemicals, phenolic compounds (PCs) are a major class of semi-water-soluble compounds (from fruit and vegetable sources) with one or more benzene rings that are generally found in nature as glycosides. According to a review of the literature, food scientists have studied the many health benefits of these compounds against pernicious human diseases (HDs). Today, choosing a healthy diet has become an essential part of healthy living and fitness. Many studies have shown that people who follow a specific diet (especially polyphenol-rich diets) are at a low risk for a range of chronic diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, etc. The present research is a comprehensive review of studies on PCs with a focus on HDs that seeks to find out why some PCs have received such considerable attention all over the world. Data were collected from the Scopus database and a hierarchical cluster analysis was used with Ward's method to analyze the data. The results showed that three countries most involved in research on PCs are USA, China, and India, and also found that quercetin, catechin, and kaempferol are the three most studied PCs. Cardiovascular diseases, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and infectious diseases are the major treatment targets for PCs. The review of the literature showed that these compounds share a common molecular mode of action against HDs. The Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, Food Chemistry, PLOS ONE, and Planta Medica are also the most popular journals for covering original research on PCs. However, this study seeks to facilitate future studies on PCs through its findings.
