fascinating. 10-14% of the population? guess i'm pretty special. so logically, most of my family should also have this trait.
The interest of the food industry in betalains has grown since they were identified as natural antioxidants[6] which may have positive health effects in humans.[7] Betalians may exhibit anti-cancer activity. Betalains from the prickly pear showed considerable free radical scavenger and antioxidant properties in vitro to protect endothelium from cytokine-induced redox state alteration, through ICAM-1 inhibition.
maybe since it isn't broken down, i get double protection or something?
