What are “functional foods?”
“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….”

Bioactive Compounds
Naturally occurring chemical
compounds contained in or derived
from an animal, marine or plant source,
that exert desired health or wellness
benefits. Humans are OMNIVOROUS.
• Animal foods (zoochemicals)
• Marine foods (fish, shellfish, sea
vegetables)
• Plant foods (phytochemicals)

Guiding Principles for Counseling
• Apply a “wholeness
orientation” in health
care delivery: mind,
body, spirit, and
environment
• Support and promote
the natural capacity of
recovery and selfhealing
• Disseminate
comprehensive, quality
and timely information
• Recognize the patient’s
right to choose freely
among safe and effective
care or approaches
• White House Commission on Complementary
• Respect the diversity of
all health traditions
and Alternative Medicine

Overall: Advice to the Registered Dietitians
• Employ a Balanced Diet Approach
• Even natural, whole foods could be troublesome if over-consumed
• More is NOT ALWAYS BETTER
• Be familiar with the medications your clients are taking
• Safety for the Client
• Botanical supplements are not regulated by the FDA
• ‘Natural’ does not guarantee safety
• Any biologically active ingredient, consumed in excess, can be harmful
• Choose Where You Stand
• Confirm with the science. Are you guiding or promoting?
• Be a Client Advocate
• Identify and document use of herbs and botanicals
• Advocate for better regulation of herbs and botanicals as drugs, not
foods
