ABOUT THIS BOOK
Berries are popularly consumed worldwide as fresh, processed, and other derived
forms. Research conducted over the last decade and a half has provided significant
and convincing evidence to support the cancer preventive potential of these
colorful fruits. Berries and their phytochemical constituents work through multiple
mechanisms to reduce the malignant properties of cancer cells in laboratory
studies. Further, diets of various berry formulations, including freeze dried
berries, have been shown to prevent cancer in animals, and recent data indicate
that they also exhibit cancer preventive effects in humans. Providing an unprecedented
compilation of current information, this book, Berries and Cancer Prevention:
1) Describes the major groups of bioactive compounds in berries and their antioxidant
potential 2) Describes the cancer inhibitory effects of berry extracts and individual
components in vitro, and discusses their mechanisms of action on a cellular
and molecular level 3) Discusses the cancer-inhibitory effects of berries and
berry components on tumor development in animals 4) Discusses recent results
on the cancer-inhibitory effects of berries and berry components in humans and
describes their mechanisms of action; 5) Discusses the relative merits of the
use of whole berries, freeze-dried berries, berry extracts and individual berry
components for cancer prevention, particularly in humans. The editors anticipate
that this book would be useful for researchers, academicians and trainees associated
with departments of nutrition, dietetics, food science and technology, cancer
biology, cancer prevention, public health, family medicine, osteopathy, dentistry,
etc. It should also be useful for practitioners, dieticians, and others involved
in daily patient health care. We also expect that individuals involved in various
roles in the berry industry including berry production, product development,
marketing and sales, would benefit from this book. The public has a strong interest
in healthy foods and dietary interventions for cancer prevention, and we hope
that many of those individuals will also find this book of great interest.
