And when you take into account serving size, you're looking at 12 grams of lactose in an 8-ounce glass of milk versus less than half a gram in an ounce of cheese....

Food containing these bioactive components are known as functional foods. The term functional foods may have gained prominence only in recent years, but in Asia, foods with functional properties have been regarded as an integral part of some cultures for centuries. She discussed innovations carried out on three functional ingredients to overcome these challenges, namely (1) carotenoids such as lutein, lycopene and beta carotene, (2) EGCG (Eppigallocatechin Gallate), the major health...

But is there more to these foods than their best-known nutrients? By thinking of black grapes as just good sources of flavenoids, or carrots. There's evidence that Americans' understanding of the importance of including whole, rather than processed or refined foods, good fats and lots of fruits and vegetables is on the...
