This book provides an authoritative summary of the prophylactic and/or medicinal benefits of natural foods and their constituents that are linked to favorable health outcomes. Beginning with an overview of the field and associated regulations, each chapter describes the chemical properties, bioactivities, dietary sources, and evidence of these health-promoting dietary constituents.
This book explains the technologies used in genetically modified and irradiated foods so they can be understood by those in general public health, scientific organizations, politicians and opinion makers/policymakers. Because the world is facing a future with an increasing number of people, new technologies are needed to ensure enough safe and healthy food, thus technologies that have the potential to dramatically increase the availability of safe and healthy food should be welcomed by everybody.
A radically practical guide to making food choices that are good for you, others, and the planet. Using three criteria--Is it good for me? Is it good for others?

Could changing WHEN we eat help make us healthier? Fasting - going a set amount of time with little or no food - isn’t a new idea, and intermittent fasting is growing in popularity. Recent health trends have reinvigorated fasting for our contemporary lifestyles. Diets, like the 16-8 and 5-2, promise not just weight loss, but the possibility of preventing chronic disease, with early studies showing intriguing results.
The connection between what we eat, and how we feel, has been documented for over a decade in studies. Yet, few organizations dealing with mental health and addiction have incorporated this concept into their treatment protocols. In this video seminar, renowned dietician Kristin Kirkpatrick discusses the major dietary factors that impact depression, anxiety, and addiction.
In this program, chef Paul West, dietician Clare Collins, and chemist Noby Leong examine the chemistry, biology, and physics of food, looking at Australia's Cavendish banana and the cultivation of a new disease resistant variety; at the how the traditional craft of fruit preservation is supersized in the production of canned baked beans; and at the science of cooking the perfect medium rare steak.
Your skinny best friend seems to eat twice as much as you, but you're still overweight. Why? For decades, experts thought they had the answer: too many calories and not enough exercise. The latest scientific research is turning those assumptions on their head. Differences in our individual biology - our genetics, hormones or psychology - all play a crucial role. Now, five volunteers are going on diets tailored to their bodies and brains.
From grinding grain to make flour to turning milk into cheese, humans have been processing food—transforming agricultural products into more edible, tasty, and nutritious forms—for millennia. In recent years, however, scientists have developed new technologies to create foods that can't be made in home kitchens, such as plant-based meats and dairy products made with plant proteins. Are these new forms of highly processed foods nutritious to eat and good for society?
