The health care issues associated with North American diet and lifestyle include obesity, several forms of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In order to counteract diet-related diseases, research in the area of functional foods is essential to allow development of accessible whole grain foods that will have a positive impact on the health of Canadians. My proposed research addresses unique and critical questions relating to the extent to which constituents in foods can confer health benefits by scavenging excessive free radicals, inducing antioxidant defenses, reducing lipid oxidation, lowering LDL cholesterol, and inhibiting cancer cell proliferation following consumption of whole grain-based products.

与北美饮食和生活方式相关的医疗保健问题包括肥胖，几种形式的癌症和心血管疾病。为了对付与饮食有关的疾病，在功能食品领域的研究是必不可少的，以便能够开发可获得的全谷物食品，这将对加拿大人的健康产生积极影响。我提出的研究解决了独特和关键的问题，这些问题涉及食品中的成分在多大程度上可以通过清除过量的自由基，诱导抗氧化防御，减少脂质氧化，降低LDL胆固醇和抑制癌细胞增殖来赋予健康益处。
