| Expansion of summary note |
The book discusses global food habits and trends, safety and toxicology, and how food addiction or overindulgence of food can lead to a variety of disease states. It then highlights how supplements help in disease prevention. Although a significant number of nutraceuticals and functional foods have demonstrated their efficacy, a large number of supplements are still surviving on false claims. Therefore, the editors underscore risks and benefits, and why government regulatory agencies are so critical of these nutraceutical supplements.<br/><br/>With the global nutraceuticals market expected to reach $204.8 billion by 2017, what once seemed a very niche sector has become big business. An overview of nutraceuticals and functional foods and their application in human health, this book exhaustively covers antioxidants, functional foods, and nutraceuticals in human health and disease prevention. With contributions from experts and pioneers, the book gives insight into the role of functional foods in optimal diet and exercise. <br/><br/><br/>Table of Contents<br/><br/>INTRODUCTION<br/>Global Food Habit and Trend: An Overview<br/>Priyamvadah Kinth and Nimisha Kankan<br/>Safety and Toxicity of Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals<br/>Palma Ann Marone and Kathryn Birkenbach<br/>Functional Foods in the Treatment of Proceßed Food Addiction and the Metabolic Syndrome<br/>J.R.
