The Functional Foods Center at D&A Inc., a research and development center located in Richardson, TX, that promotes further development of functional food innovations, published a new book in July titled Functional Foods for Chronic Diseases. The book focuses on modern approaches to the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases through dietary supplements, botanicals, and other functional food products.1 Various scientists from around the world contributed to the book, including participants of the international conference “Functional Foods for the Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Diseases,” held November 14-15, 2005, in Dallas, TX. The book was edited by Danik M. Martirosyan, PhD, the chair of that conference.
