The symposium was held in Chicago in August 1995 to explore substances in food that interfere with the absorption of nutrients and micronutrients, but some of which, and products of others breaking down, may possess beneficial health effects in small amounts. The 18 papers consider aspects that may

This book examines the potential health benefits of low levels of antinutrients in food processing and functional foods, and reviews the potential health risk at high levels. The authors identify and classify various foods as sources of phytochemicals while considering their anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic potentials. This volume will be a valuable resource for food scientists, technologists, and nutritionists, and for researchers in biotechnology and medicinal
chemistry.
