Several studies suggest that natural salicylates in plant-based foods may benefit health. However, large variation in published values of the salicylate content of foods means that relating dietary intakes to disease risk is problematical. Consequently, we have systematically reviewed the available literature using prescribed selection criteria. By combining these literature values with in-house analysis, we have constructed a food composition database describing median salicylate values for 27 different types of fruits, 21 vegetables, 28 herbs, spices and condiments, 2 soups and 11 beverages. Application of a validated food frequency questionnaire estimated median dietary intakes of 4.42 (range 2.90-6.27) and 3.16 (2.35-4.89) mg/day for Scottish males and females, respectively. Major dietary sources of salicylates were alcoholic beverages (22%), herbs and spices (17%), fruits (16%), non-alcoholic beverages including fruit juices (13%), tomato-based sauces (12%) and vegetables (9%). Application of the database to populations with differing dietary habits and disease risk profiles may provide further evidence for the role of dietary salicylates in the prevention of chronic diseases.
几项研究表明，植物性食物中的天然水杨酸盐可能对健康有益。然而，已发表的食物水杨酸盐含量值存在很大差异，这意味着将饮食摄入量与疾病风险相关联是有问题的。因此，我们使用规定的选择标准系统地审查了现有文献。通过将这些文献值与内部分析相结合，我们构建了一个食物成分数据库，描述了 27 种不同类型的水果、21 种蔬菜、28 种草药、香料和调味料、2 种汤和 11 种饮料的水杨酸盐中位数值。验证后的食物频率问卷的应用估计苏格兰男性和女性的中位数饮食摄入量分别为 4.42（范围为 2.90-6.27）和 3.16（范围为 2.35-4.89）毫克/天。水杨酸盐的主要膳食来源是酒精饮料（22%）、草药和香料（17%）、水果（16%）、包括果汁在内的非酒精饮料（13%）、番茄基酱汁（12%）和蔬菜（9%）。将数据库应用于具有不同饮食习惯和疾病风险特征的人群，可能为饮食水杨酸盐在预防慢性疾病中的作用提供进一步的证据。
