Oxford Book of Health Food
Description
The term ‘health food’ is used to describe a whole range of foods and dietary supplements commonly sold in health food shops.The supplements range from essential nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals in varying doses, through to those that might best be described as herbal remedies. When considering foodstuffs, calling them health foods is perhaps unfortunate as it carries the implication that other foods are inherently unhealthy. This is of course not the case, but products sold in health food stores are often seen to have some sort of additional benefits beyond the consumption of a healthy, balanced diet. This book aims to examine systematically some of the foods and products sold under the health food banner and show where there is evidence for benefit from the wide range of products available.
