These dietary strategies include novel foods and food components such as flaxseed and its omega-3 fatty acid; fish oil; flavonoids in tea and citrus; and soy and its isoflavones. She has published many peer-reviewed articles, invited reviews and book chapters on the topic of nutrition, with particular emphasis on nutritional programming of bone health as well as use of herbal and nutritional supplements.
