Hook Up With Health: The Healthiest Food on the Planet

Today's lesson is on Synergy and the value it plays in your health and well-being.

Synergy or synergism (from the Greek synergos meaning working together, circa 1660) refers to the phenomenon in which two or more discrete influences or agents acting together create an effect greater than the sum of the effects each is able to create independently.

Jeff Prince, the vice president for education at the American Institute for Cancer Research, said iIn his August 2004 interview with The Washington Post that “the thousands of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals in whole foods act synergistically together to create a more powerful effect than the sum of their parts, producing a result which cannot be recreated by supplements".

Dr. Liu, a member of the graduate fields of Food Science and Technology, and Environmental Toxicology and an associate professor in the Department of Food Science at Cornell University where he received his Ph.D. in Toxicology, recently appeared at the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) International Conference on Food, Nutrition and Cancer to present some of his latest findings. “Different plant foods have different phytochemicals,” he said. “These substances go to different organs, tissues and cells, where they perform different functions. What your body needs to ward off disease is this synergistic effect – this teamwork – that is produced by eating a wide variety of plant foods.”
