Another conference on the advances of polyphenol research, though smaller in size than the one in Japan, will take place in Malta, 14-16 November 2007.

Here a summary of the conference features:
“After the great success of the Polyphenols 2006 conference, the International Society for Antioxidants in Nutrition and Health (ISANH) organizes the 4th international meeting to gather high level scientists and professionals to give an update of advances in polyphenols benefits and promising trends of their use in improvement of human health. The conference offers an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences between researchers and industrialists. (…)
* Latest advances in polyphenols benefits in human health
* Latest advances in the role of polyphenols in chronic diseases prevention and therapy with focus on promising role on diabetes, obesity and aging management
* New solutions to optimize polyphenols processing and to better evaluate and improve their bioeffeciency in finished products
* New sources, ingredients and technlogical solutions in polyphenols industrial application (food, beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries)
We look forward to welcome you in Malta for this particular event.” Pr Joseph Bannister and Dr Marvin Edeas

For all those of you who are still thinking of submitting an abstract to the 3rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON POLYPHENOLS AND HEALTH (ICPH 2007) taking place at the ICC Kyoto (Japan) from November 25-28, 2007, please be reminded that the deadline for abstract submission is June 30 !!!!

“(…) In recent years, much attention is internationally being denoted to polyphenols and health. Augustin Scalbert initiated International Conference on Polyphenols and Health in Vichy, France four years ago. It really stimulated and encouraged many people engaging in polyphenols on human health. The 2nd Conference at Davis, United States, was also a true success, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank Andrew Waterhouse and Cesar Fraga who organized this really fruitful conference. Nowadays, polyphenols are recognized as essential functional food factors and prevailed from the dining tables to medicinal uses. However, more scientific evidence should be required for understanding the optimal levels of their intake and the safety as well as the functionality. We believe 3rd Conference is necessary to discuss these subjects among the participants who are key contributors to the fields. (…)” Junji Terao, President of Organizing Committee.
