Current clinical and scientific evidence of the health benefits of individual dietary phytochemicals and classes of phytochemicals, including carotenoids, flavonoids, fiber, and more
Concise bullet-point summaries at the end of each chapter for rapid review of important concepts
Peer-reviewed by experts in the field to ensure material is both accurate and up-to-date
Easy-to-read appendices with key information on the dietary glycemic index of foods, diseases, drug interactions, nutrient interactions, and phytochemical-rich foods
