Vegetables, fruits, and herbs have been used as cancer preventatives for millennia. But the research community is currently experiencing a surge in information related to the effect of plant products in cancer treatment. Bioactive Foods and Extracts: Cancer Treatment and Prevention organizes these cutting-edge findings. It also addresses the wide availability of botanicals and their extracts and how their use is largely unregulated, particularly in the United States. This well-organized work is a must-have resource for researchers and healthcare professionals who are charged with making decisions regarding the benefits, risks, and value of botanicals in the prevention and treatment of cancers.
