Nutrition interventions with fruits and vegetables
Feeding fruits and vegetables to animals and people
To determine the in vivo health impacts of fruits and vegetables and their constituent phytochemicals, we conduct studies in animals and humans. We look to understand absorption, metabolism, distribution, excretion, and effect on development of disease.
Here is some work we’ve published on the topic:
In humans:
