This book explores the role that some natural molecules found in fruits and vegetables, and their derivatives, play in excessive oxidation reactions that lead to inflammation in the human body. Particular attention is given to oxidation during food processing, especially when it comes to high-energy foods (derived from cereals) with notable amounts of oxidation-sensible lipids and protein chains. This book critically assesses the increased consumption of high-energy foods from a public hea...
