Carcinogenic and Anticarcinogenic Food Components
As the interest in anticarcinogenic food components increases, Carcinogenic and Anticarcinogenic Food Components provides information on cancer-promoting and cancer-preventing food components, indicating their contents in foods, biological activities, possible impact on human cancer risk, and practical implications for dietary recommendations and functional design. This volume concentrates on the effects of diet on human health, rather than on the nutritive aspects of diet, and presents the multidisciplinary character of investigations on chemopreventive as well as carcinogenic properties of food components.
