Scientists, health professionals, and consumers are increasingly
interested in the relationships between food components and
food-drug combinations as they strive to find more effective ways
to prevent or treat chronic disease. As one of the first unified
and in-depth sources in this emerging topic, Food-Drug Synergy and
Safety explores the vast potential benefits of food and food-drug
synergy. The book addresses the interaction of two or more
components within a single food, between several foods, or between
foods and drugs consumed together, in which the potential health
benefit is greater than the effect of the single component, food,
or drug. Each chapter follows a consistent framework and addresses
the health benefits, mechanisms of action, and safety aspects
pertaining to the food and food-drug synergies. Sections discuss
food and food-drug synergies in the context of specific disease
groups, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis,
inflammatory diseases, hypertension, and obesity, for easy
reference in a clinical setting. A separate section focuses
entirely on performance enhancers, including caffeine, creatine,
and ephedrine/ephedra, and their potential to influence human
health in addition to ergogenic applications. The final section
provides scientists with a framework for designing experiments that
elucidate the heath benefits and safety aspects of food and
food-drug synergies. Food-Drug Synergy and Safety lays the
essential foundation in this new direction of research as it gains
momentum in the fields of food, nutrition, medicine, and
pharmaceutical sciences.
