Assessing the role of newly discovered fruit and vegetable phytonutrients and the impact on health outcomes

Lay summary

Consuming a more plant-based diet has been shown to improve your overall health. We will show that with a detailed, Artificial Intelligence-derived understanding of how plant-based foods (fruits and vegetables) impact our health, we will be able to predict the positive impact of specific fruits and vegetables across a host of health conditions. One outcome of our research will be the development of personalized dietary approaches to address specific health issues faced by an individual. Overall, this project will provide a broader, more flexible, and tailored range of dietary recommendations that will allow individual consumers to maximize the benefits of the foods they eat.
