Health foods and dietary supplements are widely used throughout the
world - it is estimated that more than seventy million people in Europe
regularly buy these products, and it is a billion dollar business in
the USA. Health foods include vitamins, minerals, cereals, nuts,
herbal medicines, functional foods, and many others. A large number
of people use these foods in the belief that they contribute to their
general health, while, in most countries, little or no information is
given on products explaining their therapeutic values. The Oxford Book
of Health Foods begins with an account of modern concepts of human
nutrition, followed by a series of over one hundred accounts of individual
health foods and dietary supplements. In all cases the importance of these
products in human health is explained, and, for herbal medicines, the
evidence for their claimed therapeutic value is given, and toxic effects
are described. Full-colour illustrations accompany these accounts.
The Oxford Book of Health Foods will be of interest not just to health
professionals, but to all people with an interest in health foods
and healthy eating. The text is supplemented throughout by beautifully
drawn botanical illustrations.
