This chapter systematically summarizes the application of anthocyanins in human disease prevention and health care based on anthocyanins' structure and species. However, at present, there is no report upon the anthocyanins as a clinical drug used. Then, the intensive research and innovation should be performed in order that anthocyanins specifically apply to the prevention of clinical diseases and health care in the future.
