Functional foods and nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and
natural antioxidants have established their potential roles in the
protection of human health against disease. Nutraceuticals and
Functional Foods in Human Health and Disease Prevention examines
the benefits, efficacy, and success of properly designed
nutraceuticals and functional foods in human health and their
possible application in disease prevention. The book demonstrates
diverse disease pathophysiology and how nutraceuticals and
functional food can be used to combat and prevent disease. The book
discusses global food habits and trends, safety and toxicology, and
how food addiction or overindulgence of food can lead to a variety
of disease states. It then highlights how supplements help in
disease prevention. Although a significant number of nutraceuticals
and functional foods have demonstrated their efficacy, a large
number of supplements are still surviving on false claims.
Therefore, the editors underscore risks and benefits, and why
government regulatory agencies are so critical of these
nutraceutical supplements. With the global nutraceuticals market
expected to reach $204.8 billion by 2017, what once seemed a very
niche sector has become big business. An overview of nutraceuticals
and functional foods and their application in human health, this
book exhaustively covers antioxidants, functional foods, and
nutraceuticals in human health and disease prevention. With
contributions from experts and pioneers, the book gives insight
into the role of functional foods in optimal diet and exercise.
