Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

There are thousands of phytochemicals, and research on specific ones is limited.

However, there is a strong correlation between foods rich in phytochemicals and disease risk. This suggests that taking phytochemical supplements can provide health benefits.

For example, scientists have found that increased consumption of fruits and vegetables reduces the risk of coronary heart disease,  cancer, Type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
