“ Superfood ” is a buzzword marketers use to promote foods like kale, spinach and blueberries.
But functional foods contain bioactive substances, each with a unique function in the body.
The list of bioactive components in foods grows daily as research expands.
In 1980 , the U.S. government published the first dietary guidelines that encouraged people to avoid fat and sugar.
Janet Colson : An apple’s natural dietary fibers are one of the bioactive components that lead to its being classified as a functional food.
She says apples contain high amounts of natural chemicals known as polyphenols that have vital roles in promoting health and reducing chronic disease.
One U.S. team analyzed the apple-eating patterns and number of doctor visits among more than 8,000 adults.
