Potential health benefits of pear consumption
To explore the potential health benefits associated with pear
consumption and related health outcomes, researchers conducted a
systematic review of studies 2 various sources from 1970 to present.
Pears are an excellent source of fiber and a good source of vitamin C for only 100 calories per serving. One medium pear provides about 24 percent of daily fiber needs. They are sodium-free, cholesterol-free, fat-free and contain 190 mg of potassium. The various Dietary Guidelines advice people who eat more fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to reduce their risk of some chronic diseases, although little is published on the health outcomes associated with individual fruits, including pears.
In the review conducted by 2 doctors, pears were found to be rich in fructose, sorbitol and dietary fiber. Commenting on this, a professor of food science and nutrition said, "Many people fall short on dietary fiber. Therefore, the high content of dietary fiber in pears and their effects on gut health set pears apart from other fruit and deserves further study."
The Dr. also found the body of evidence for a relationship between pear intake and health outcomes to be sparse and diverse and believes intervention studies with pears that show positive health outcomes, most likely improvements in gut health, are needed.
According to an epidemiologic cohort study conducted by some researchers, among individual fruit and vegetable subgroups, inverse associations with total stroke and the consumption of pears, along with apples and leafy green vegetables.The group supported these findings in a meta-analysis of twenty prospective cohort studies that suggested pears, citrus fruits and leafy vegetables might contribute to stroke protection.
An epidemiologic study conducted by the group linked the consumption of anthocyanin-rich foods, particularly pears, apples and blueberries, with lower risk of Type 2 diabetes. An additional epidemiologic study indicated flavonoid-rich foods including pears were associated with a significant reduction in mortality from coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women.
While the body of evidence connecting pear intake and health outcomes is still limited, Pears has been contributing to research efforts by commissioning independent studies to learn and affirm the heath attributes of pears.
