Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional foods are those that provide additional health benefits beyond their nutrients, such as reducing the risk of disease or improving body function. Phytochemicals and zoochemicals are types of functional foods, but they are more specific categories that refer to plant and animal-based functional foods, respectively. "Health foods" is a vague term and does not specifically refer to foods with added health benefits.
