what do phytochemicals do
Phytochemicals are compounds that are produced by plants (phyto means plant). They are found in fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, and other plants.Some of these phytochemicals are believed to protect cells from damage that could lead to cancer.oading up on one or two phytochemicals in pill form probably won't be as beneficial as eating a balanced diet with a variety of foods that includes 5 or more cups of fruits and vegetables per day and food from other plant sources, such as whole-grain breads, cereals, nuts, seeds, rice and pasta, and beans.
