II. Review of Related Literature



Squashes generally refer to five domesticated species of the genus
Cucurbita, some varieties of which are also called pumpkins, zucchini,
courgettes and marrows (the last two mainly in British English). These
species include C. maxima (hubbard squash, buttercup squash, some
varieties of prize pumpkins, such as Big Max), C. argyrosperma (cushaw
squash), C. moschata (butternut squash), C. pepo (most pumpkins, acorn
squash, summer squash, zucchini), and C. ficifolia
.
In North America,
squash is loosely grouped into summer squash or winter squash,
depending on whether they are harvested as immature fruit (summer
squash) or mature fruit (autumn squash or winter squash). Gourds are from
the same family as squashes. Well known types of squash include the
pumpkin and zucchini. Giant pumpkins or squash are derived from
Cucurbita maxima.

Health Benefits
Antioxidant Support
While we've become accustomed to thinking about leafy vegetables as an
outstanding source of antioxidants, we've been slower to recognize the
outstanding antioxidant benefits provided by other vegetables like winter
squash. But we need to catch up with the times! Recent research has
made it clear just how important winter squash is worldwide to antioxidant
intake, especially so in the case of carotenoid antioxidants. From South
America to Africa to India and Asia and even in some parts of the United
States, no single food provides a greater percentage of certain carotenoids
than winter squash. (In the United States, a recent study that has
determined winter squash to be the number one source of alpha-carotene
and beta-carotene among Hispanic men ages 60 and older living within the
state off Massachusetts. And we've seen studies ranking foods from this
Cucurbita genus at the top of the carotenoid list in Cameroon, Sri Lanka,
and the West Indies!)
The unique carotenoid content of the winter squashes is not their only claim
to fame in the antioxidant department, however. There is a very good
amount of vitamin C in winter squash (about one-third of the Daily Value in
every cup) and a very good amount of the antioxidant mineral manganese
as well. Recent research has shown that the cell wall polysaccharides
found in winter squash also possess antioxidant properties, as do some of
their phenolic phytonutrients.
Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
Most of the research to date on winter squash and inflammation has either
been conducted using laboratory animals, or has been focused on
laboratory studies of cell activity. Still, results in this area have been
fascinating and also promising with respect to winter squash as an anti-
inflammatory food. In some of the more detailed studies, specific
inflammation-related molecules, enzymes, or cell receptors (for example,
nuclear factor kappa-B, nitric oxide synthase, or cyclo-oxygenase) have
been studied as targets for the activity of the cucurbitacin molecules found
in winter squash. Cucurbitacins are glycoside molecules found in a wide
variety of foods, including the brassica vegetables, some mushrooms, and
even some ocean mollusks. But they are named for the gourd-squash-
melon family of foods (Cucurbitaceae) due to their initial discovery in this
food family. Cucurbitacins can be extremely bitter tasting to animals as well
as humans, and they are considered to be part of the plants' natural
defense mechanisms. Yet the same properties that make cucurbitacins
potentially toxic to some animals and microorganisms also make them
effective as anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory substances
when we consume them in winter squash.
While winter squash should not be treated as a high-fat food, it does
contain fats, including the anti-inflammatory omega-3s. One cup of baked
winter squash will provide you with approximately 340 milligrams of omega-
3 fats in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). While that amount is only
about one-third as high as the concentration of ALA found in the "best of
the best" omega-3 plant foods like walnuts, it is still a valuable amount
being provided by a low-fat food. (Less than 15% of the calories in winter
squash come from fat, compared with almost 90% of the calories in
walnuts!). With winter squash, we have a fantastic anti-inflammatory food
opportunity in which we can get a valuable amount of our anti-inflammatory
omega-3s without much of a change in our total fat intake.
Promotes Optimal Health
It's the combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds in
winter squash that have shown this food to have clear potential in the area
of cancer prevention and cancer treatment. Prostate cancer is the cancer
type that has been of greatest research interest in this regard, followed by
colon cancer, breast cancer, and lung cancer. We have yet to see cancer-
related studies that involve everyday amounts of winter squash consumed
in food form. Most of the studies in this area have involved extracts from
foods in the Cucurbita genus, or isolated, purified substances (like
cucurbitans) that can be obtained from those foods. Still, given the clear
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of winter squash, we expect to
see cancer studies in humans eventually identifying this food as a risk
reducer for certain cancer types.
Potential Blood Sugar Regulation Benefits
A second area of high potential for winter squash and its health benefits is
blood sugar regulation and prevention of type 2 diabetes. We've already
seen evidence in animal studies that show improvement in blood sugar and
insulin regulation following intake of cell wall polysaccharides from winter
squash and other Cucurbita foods. Likewise, we've seen research pointing
to other nutrients found in winter squash as beneficial for blood sugar
control. These nutrients include the B-vitamin like compound d-chiro-
inositola nutrient we expect to see moving up on the radar screen with
respect to blood sugar regulation. It's also important to remember that
blood sugar regulation is closely tied to our overall supply of B-complex
vitamins, and that winter squash is unusual in its B-vitamin composition.
This food provides a good amount of five B-complex vitamins! Those
vitamins are B1, B3, B6, pantothenic acid, and folate.
Other Health Benefits
Finally, we believe that future research may underscore the health benefits
provided by winter squash for prevention of cardiovascular disease. We
already know that this food provides key antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
benefitstwo categories of nutrient support critically needed for reduced
risk of most cardiovascular problems. But we also have preliminary
evidence to suggest that there may be unique substances in the Cucurbita
vegetables that partially block the formation of cholesterol in our cells by
inhibiting an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase. Coupled with its unique
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory composition, winter squash may turn out
to be particularly important food for inclusion in a heart healthy diet.
