Résumé : | Cancer is a leading cause of death among adults. Although about 25% of Americans develop cancer in their lifetime, this rate has been reduced in some populations by lifestyle changes. Increasing numbers of people are turning to the use of vegetables, medicinal herbs, and plant extracts to prevent or treat cancer. The ready availability of herbs, extracts, and related compounds as over-the-counter dietary supplements has contributed to an explosion in their use for health enhancement. The spectacular growth of the multi-billion dollar functional food and nutraceutical business, touting health claims sometimes based upon limited research data, underscores the need for this up-to-date reference. Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals in Cancer Prevention brings together a leading group of experts on the different aspects of nutrient supplementation, foods, and plant extracts in cancer prevention and treatment. Their conclusions and recommendations present the most current knowledge for initiating future research and creating a scientific database for accurate health claims. This is a must-have resource for research professionals, both basic and applied, and marketers in the worldwide functional foods/nutritional supplements industry. It is an essential reference for hospital-based dietitians and nutritionists, physicians specializing in oncology, and can- cer researchers. Food and drug officials who determine allowable health claims and academicians in all of these fields need this information as well. |
