Food Synergy & Synergistic Combinations

This is a post that would have fit nicely on my Happy Nutritionist's Nuggets blog, but it fits well here, too, as it speaks to the synergy of a favorite whole food that our family enjoys...at fits with the "synergy" theme of this blog. It also provides a bit of a history of the concept of synergy.

We call Phi Plus “the healthiest food in the world”. It is a synergistic combination of dozens of all natural whole food ingredients including nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs, oils, & spices. Synergy or synergism (from the Greek “synergos” meaning working together, circa 1660) refers to the phenomenon in which two or more agents acting together create an effect greater than the sum of the effects each is able to create alone.

Jeff Prince is the vice president for education at the American Institute for Cancer Research. In his August 2004 interview with The Washington Post he said that “the thousands of vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals in whole foods act synergistically together to create a more powerful effect than the sum of their parts, producing a result which cannot be recreated by supplements".

Dr. Rui Hai Liu is an associate professor in the Department of Food Science at Cornell University. He is a member of the graduate fields of Food Science and Technology, and Environmental Toxicology. Dr. Liu received his Ph.D. in Toxicology from Cornell University. He also holds a M.D. in Medicine and a M.S. in Nutrition and Food Toxicology from Harbin Medical School in China.

Dr. Liu recently appeared at the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) International Conference on Food, Nutrition and Cancer to present some of his latest findings. “Different plant foods have different phytochemicals,” he said. “These substances go to different organs, tissues and cells, where they perform different functions. What your body needs to ward off disease is this synergistic effect – this teamwork – that is produced by eating a wide variety of plant foods.”
