Excellent and comprehensive review of antioxidant research Nov 11, 1998
The book is an excellent reference for anyone interested in the role of antioxidants in both food and biological systems. The contributors are leaders in their respective fields of research with many years of experience and outstanding credentials. I found the book to be a most valuable resource for personal enlightnment and for guidance in my quest for new and improved nutritional supplements for the industry.

Science and clinical knowledge about antioxidant supplements Oct 23, 1998
This book is an example of a multidimensional book. It succeeded well in integrating topics of wide and current interest dealing with antioxidant status, nutrition, health and disease. The result is a book that is very readable and can benefit a broad spectrum of audiences. In addition to nutritionists, dietitians and health professionals, specialists from other disciplines such as chemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry, pharmacy, and pharmaceutical sciences can benefit from this book.

Of particular interest is the extensive discussion of the role of diet and nutritional supplements in health and disease. These topics have attracted wide public interest and have been making national headlines in recent years. World class experts from academia, government and industry discuss these topics applying the same rules of scientific and clinical evidence used in the discovery and evaluation of new drugs. The high caliber of this discussion is representative of the overall quality of this book.
