Anthocyanins have been found to "exhibit numerous potential therapeutic effects including treatment of diabetic retinopathy and fibrocystic disease of the breast in human" (1). "Other potential physiological effects of anthocyanins include radiation-protective, chemopratective, vasoprotective and anti-inflammatory agents" (1),
