Many research programs are underway in this area. Epidemiological evidence suggests that the consumption of fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of both cancer and cardiovascular disease, and it has been hypothesized that this is due in part to the presence of antioxidant compounds in fruits and vegetables. As a result, these compounds have been considered together by many people and loosely termed dietary antioxidants. Closer examination, however, reveals that compounds typically grouped together as dietary antioxidants can differ quite considerably from one another, both in terms of their chemical behavior and in terms of their biological properties. This report from the Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board provides a proposed definition of dietary antioxidants so as to characterize the biological properties of these compounds.Compass series (Washington, D.C.)AntioxidantsFoodCompositionReference values (Medicine)Antioxidants.FoodComposition.Reference values (Medicine)Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Standing Committee on the Scientific Evaluation of Dietary Reference Intakes.Institute of Medicine (U.S.).Panel on Dietary Antioxidants and Related Compounds.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960124303321Dietary reference intakes4355133UNINA
