Non-communicable diseases, such as
cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, and hypertension,
represent the cause of 60% of all deaths around the globe. With proper
diet and natural dietary antioxidant supplements, these diseases can be
prevented by up to 40% according to the British Nutrition Foundation.
This
book provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on the health
benefits of natural dietary antioxidant supplements. It presents
state-of-the-art research and information as well as the global
regulations, labelling, and health claims of natural dietary antioxidant
supplements.
Written by expert
authors, the wealth of research is arranged by disease type rather than
by supplement type making it much more useful to the reader. Filling a
gap in the literature, the book is aimed at researchers and
professionals working in food chemistry, nutrition, and health benefits.
