Review :
"…well edited and nicely indexed. It is a necessary book for the libraries of all those working in the development, medical benefit, and use of nutraceuticals and functional foods. It should be made readily available in public libraries for the use of the lay reader who wants to follow the benefits of nutraceutical and functional foods away from commercial hype. Well done, CRC Press." - Joseph G. Endres, The Endres Group, Fort Wayne, Indiana, in AOCS Press "…it is easy to recommend this volume as a desk reference for those who wish to have an accessible resource that is concise, yet covers a broad range of topics. … At some level, all who identify themselves as nutritionists must have an informed perspective regarding the functional use of foods and nutraceuticals in health promotion. [Handbook of] Nutraceuticals and functional foods could be useful as background reading in developing such a perspective. … It contains a wealth of information that is balanced and thought fully presented. The book as a whole is timely, well written, and well referenced…" - Robert B. Rucker Nutrition Department, University of California, Davis In American Journal of Clinical Nutrition "…gives the most informative discussion of the roles of essential fatty acids and eicosanoids in human health and the impact of voluntary food choices on those roles." - Bill Lands, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Health, USA "I give a very positive assessment to this book on the basis that a good depth of description of many different nutraceutical or functional food categories are covered by different authors who demonstrate a strong understanding to the role of specific nutrients and non-nutrients in providing a healthy food system. The comprehensive coverage of all topics makes this a very good reference for readers who may be seeking to obtain different levels of understanding of this very exciting field of nutrition and food science." - Doody Publishing, October 2001
