Although health claims for nutraceuticals range from the fantastic
to the sublime, most of these claims are based on cell culture
studies and have not been validated in humans, making them
inadequate for public health recommendations. Focusing on human
population-based research (epidemiology studies), Nutraceuticals
and Health: Review of Human Evidence explores the role of
nutraceuticals in human health, disease prevention, health
promotion, and as an adjunct to disease treatment. The editors and
their team of recognized experts deliver a comprehensive scientific
review of the latest research. The book opens with a general
background of nutraceuticals and human health, then covers health
and disease areas such as cancer, lipidermia and cardiovascular
disease, metabolic syndrome with obesity, diabetes and
hypertension, respiratory health, the gut microbiome, and cognitive
decline. It then concludes by addressing the methodological issues
that must be addressed in the conduct of epidemiological research
on nutraceuticals in health and disease. Although nutraceuticals
hold significant promise in alleviating the suffering from disease,
for this potential to be fulfilled, much more research is needed to
document safety and disease risks in humans. Addressing important
knowledge gaps, the book includes cutting-edge summaries that
highlight both the biological and epidemiological findings of
relevant studies of nutraceuticals in health and disease. Taking an
unusual, yet crucial epidemiological focus, it examines whether,
and what kinds of, evidence exist to support a role for
nutraceuticals in disease risk, prevention, and treatment.
