N2  - "The Garden of Hope is a community garden for cancer survivors located on the campus of The Ohio State University. With research efforts led by Dr. Colleen Spees (coauthor of Wardlaw's Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach), this unique living laboratory provides cancer survivors with the opportunity to harvest fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs throughout the season and incorporate an abundance of cancer-fighting phytochemicals into their dietary patterns. Tomatoes, like those pictured on the front cover, are considered a "functional food" because they provide health benefits beyond their essential nutrients. Both vitamin C and the phytochemical lycopene function as powerful antioxidants. Lycopene has also been linked to a reduced risk of stroke, some eye diseases, and certain types of cancer. The sixth edition of Wardlaw's Contemporary Nutrition: A Functional Approach shows how the nutrients-each one marvelous in its own right-work together to support optimal body functions: fluid balance, body defenses, bone health, energy metabolism, blood health, and brain health. This complete and functional perspective on nutrition makes learning about nutrition both fun and engaging!"--
