A Superfood is defined as: " a multifunctional food that, thanks to its high content of bionutrients and biologically active molecules, has exceptional nutritional properties or brings benefits to the health and well-being of the body ."
The European Union has banned its use on product packaging, unless there are convincing research studies to support it, the so-called Health Claims.
In medicine, to demonstrate that a drug or molecule is actually good for your health, or treats and cures a disease, it is necessary to conduct an experimentally validated study. All statements about the efficacy and potential of any substance in the treatment and prevention of a disease, not demonstrated and validated by a scientific study, are false or handed down on the basis of anecdotes or invented stories. Therefore, they are dangerous and without any foundation.
There is a list of at least “100” aspiring Superfoods on the Web. The vast majority of these foods have particular physiological properties that are positive for our body. But when we talk about Superfoods , that is, foods that can have healing and health-beneficial qualities, allies of prevention that reduce the incidence of diseases, I believe it is necessary to use the same methodological approach used for experimental drugs, otherwise we risk giving false, useless and, sometimes, even dangerous information for our health.
It is therefore essential that these aspiring Superfoods have a considerable number of published scientific studies on hundreds of thousands of patients.
In light of what has been said, to date the only Superfoods capable of preventing the most important diseases and improving the quality and quantity of life are five (the magnificent five):
- olive oil
- hazelnuts
- whole grains
- dark cocoa
- green tea.
