Plant foods as sources of pro-vitamin A: application of a stable isotope approach to determine vitamin A activity.
Abstract
The general public has been aware of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals from edible plants for a very long time. The unique mixture of phytochemicals in specific edible plants may be of equal importance, from the perspective of health and nutrition. A biomedical researcher describes one of the tools used by nutritionists to help decipher the web of interactions in which these phytochemicals are involved, once ingested by human beings.
