Polyphenols: Prevention and Treatment of Human Disease

Polyphenols in Prevention and Treatment of Human Disease, Second Edition, authoritatively covers the evidence of the powerful health benefits of polyphenols, ranging from protection against cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, diabetes, and osteoporosis. This collection represents an international group of experts in polyphenol research and the coverage is appropriately broad, drawing in endocrinology, public health, cardiology, pharmacology, agriculture, and veterinary science. Researchers from diverse backgrounds will gain insight into how clinical observations and practices can feed back into the research cycle and will, therefore, be able to develop more targeted insights into the mechanisms of disease. For decades, conventional therapies have proven unsuccessful or have many side effects in the prevention of disease. This reference fills a void in the research field which nutritionists and alternative therapies may be applicable. Advancing research in the understanding and treatment of disease will be widely accepted.
