Handbook of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods

For decades nutritional recommendations have focused on what not to eat. Today, it is understood that the other side of the nutritional coin--what to eat--may be equally if not more important. The Handbook of Nutraceuticals and Functional Foods presents an up-to-date review of this growing field of nutrition. It covers the history of nutraceuticals, their connection to preventing diseases, and marketing issues. Well researched, it provides an easy-to-follow delineation of interorgan and intracellular activities and provides figures that illustrate the molecular structure and design as well as metabolic pathways,presenting an in-depth guide to nearly 200 nutraceutical compounds.Wildman, Robert E.
