Editor's Notes
- #14: FDA Food and Drug administration Bioavailability of nutrients is about how the little bits of food e.g. vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids and simple sugars, are made available to our bodies for use. The quality of our diet depends on the nutrient content and the bioavailability of its nutrients. The bioavailability of nutrients, which can be defined simply as the efficiency of absorption and utilization or retention of the nutrients that are present in food, can vary substantially.
- #15: Flavonoids are a group of plant油metabolites油thought to provide health benefits through cell signalling pathways and油antioxidant油effects. Flavonoids are found in a variety of fruits and vegetables. Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to your heart muscle.
