Vegetables, Whole Grains and their Derivatives in Cancer Prevention
looks in detail at the evidence regarding the effects and
mechanisms of action of potentially cancer-preventive components
and their sources from plant kingdom. The book covers current
knowledge on certain foods and their constituents in cancer
prevention, such as cruciferous and green leafy vegetables, nuts
and seeds, whole grains, tomato lycopene and carotenoids, alliums
and their sulphur and selenium constituents, and capsaicinoids from
chilli peppers. It focuses not only on single compounds but aims to
widen the view by discussing a whole-diet approach in cancer
prevention. A single component may lose its chemopreventive
efficacy when isolated from the food matrix and in many cases
isolated and concentrated components as supplements may actually
induce tumor development. Apart from describing the effects and
mechanisms of action, the chapters also contain information on
intake, bioavailability, metabolism and possible toxic effects of
foods and components presented. Evaluation and comparison of the
data from mechanistic studies in vitro with those from animal
experiments in vivo form a basis for applying the current knowledge
to human nutrition in the field of carcinogenesis. With
contributions from leading experts in the field, this book is an
invaluable resource for scientists and professionals working in
cancer research, as well as individuals involved in food and
nutrition.
