Peonidin 3-O makes no sense; it should be peonidin-3-O-glucoside. Also, "has show potent inhibitory" should be "has shown...". 69.72.92.105 (talk) 07:54, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
-fresh fruit corresponds to the rule of thumb that more natural . . . edit
At the time I'm posting the article states "The higher level of peonidin in fresh fruit corresponds to the rule of thumb that more natural fruit is healthier." Natural has many definitions. The degradation of peonidin in fruit or other plant parts once plucked or harvested is at best a fragmentary, tangential support of a rule of thumb that is problematic. If someone creates a GMO that is high in peonidin and has more peonidin after harvest, will that make "unnatural" foods healthier?
Essentially I'm saying why would peonidin be an essential test of healthiness. Natural means what? Rotting fruit is quite natural and at least sometimes unhealthy. I propose this sentence be removed.
