What are some examples of functional foods?
Functional foods can take many forms. Some may be conventional foods with bioactive components now identified and linked to positive health outcomes. Some may be specifically designed to reduce disease risk for a certain group of people. Consumers can already select from a wide spectrum of foods that contain functional components either inherently, as with soy protein or cranberries, via fortification, as with folate-or phytosterol/stanol-fortified foods, or via dietary supplements, as with calcium.
