Pennington Biomedical Research Center

A diet rich in fruits and vegetables clearly has been shown to have significant health benefits. New information about how specific compounds from botanicals, or plant sources, can improve health has been found. This symposium will provide information on how the compounds in plants that provide color to the fruit or berry may have an added benefit to promote health.
