In an attempt to identify phytochemicals contributing to the well-documented preventive
effect of plant-based diets on cancer incidence and mortality, we have previously shown that …

Cancer, one of the major causes of death across the world, has shown to be a largely
preventable disease, highly susceptible to modulation by dietary factors. Phenolic …

Consumption of a plant-based diet can prevent the development and progression of chronic
diseases that are associated with extensive neovascularization. To determine whether …

Over the course of the last three decades, a large body of evidence has shown that
polyphenols, the secondary metabolites occurring in plant foods and beverages, exert …

Several epidemiologic studies have shown that chronic inflammation predisposes
individuals to various types of cancer. Many cancers arise from sites of infection, chronic …

This book, based on a Special Issue of Nutrients, contains a total of 12 papers (8 original
