In this critical analysis of the latest scientific and clinical research on the health benefits of plant-based foods and dietary phytochemicals, Higdon (who was with the Linus Pauling Institute, Oregon State U., Corvallis, until killed in May 2006 while riding her bicycle) presents peer-reviewed information designed for health professionals and students. The emphasis is on consuming such phytochemicals as carotenoids, flavonoids, and fiber from foods rather than supplements. Appendices include quick references to diseases and phytochemical-rich foods, a glycemic index for selected carbohydrate-rich foods, drug-phytochemical and nutrient-phytochemical interaction tables, and a glossary.
