Food and Health
The phrase "you are what you eat" has true significance to those of us who have the responsibility of preparing meals for the people we care about. With the vast number of food items available to us today, it's best to walk the aisles of the supermarket armed with some knowledge of how our choices may affect our health. The staff at MyGourmetConnection.com is always collecting health-related information about food to pass on to our visitors. Check back often to see what we've discovered.
Phytochemicals are chemicals synthesized from plants. When phytochemicals are present in food, they can have profound health benefits for the consumer. There are many kinds of phytochemicals, and our understanding of them is always evolving. Throughout the course of evolution, plants have developed the ability to synthesize certain chemicals.
Consequently, the animals that eat those plants benefit from the phytochemicals.
