This book is an example of a multidimensional book. It succeeded well in integrating topics of wide and current interest dealing with antioxidant status, nutrition, health and disease. The result is a book that is very readable and can benefit a broad spectrum of audiences.

Of particular interest is the extensive discussion of the role of diet and nutritional supplements in health and disease. These topics have attracted wide public interest and have been making national headlines in recent years. World class experts from academia, government and industry discuss these topics applying the same rules of scientific and clinical evidence used in the discovery and evaluation of new drugs. The high caliber of this discussion is representative of the overall quality of this book.
