What is a Functional Food?
“All foods are functional at some physiological level, but it is the
position of the American Dietetic Association (ADA) that functional
foods that include whole foods and fortified, enriched, or enhanced
foods have a potentially beneficial effect on health when consumed
as part of a varied diet on a regular basis, at effective levels.“
Source: Hasler et al, J Am Diet Assoc. 2009 Apr;109(4):735-46.
