“...a brief compendium of current popular items considered "functional foods" -- those with the capacity to promote health beyond their basic nutritional value. The chapters…provide a high-level overview of the current research to date…. [and] information on specific foods, beverages, and supplements that contribute to the prevention of metabolic and cardiovascular disease…. [An] intriguing read for higher level nutrition/food science students and professionals, as well as practicing healthcare providers.
