Micronutrients in health and in disease prevention

About this book

Describes the most widely accepted current research linking essential dietary micronutrients to critical health issues -- including cancer, cardiovascular disease, arthritis, impaired immunity, birth defects, cataracts, and other acute and chronic illnesses, and analyzes the role of micronutrients in such previously unsuspected areas as cognitive function, susceptibility to viral infection, prevention of birth defects, and amelioration of certain drug toxicities.
