Book excerpt: The Functional Food Center has successfully held 23 International Conferences, including this one, since 2004. We take special interest in enabling the assimilation of scientific knowledge at our conferences under the series "Functional Foods and Chronic Diseases: Science and Practice." The 23nd International Conference was held April 24th throguh April 25th, in the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, CA. This conference was titled "Functional Foods, Bioactive Compounds, and Biomarkers in Health and Disease: Science and Practice." Main Conference Topics Include: 1. Functional Food Definition, Status, and Regulation 2. Dietary Nitrite and Nitrate 3. Functional Foods and Bioactive Compounds for Aging 4. Functional Foods and Bioactive Compound(s): Prevention and Management of Non-Communicable Diseases 5. Functional Foods and Sport Nutrition 6. Functional Foods and Sport Nutrition 7. Current Research and Development of New Functional Food Products Functional Food's research has allowed modern society to evade the side effects of modern pharmaceuticals and the problems associated with treating chronic diseases through surgical procedures. Presented in this book are scientists, food manufacturers, and healthcare professionals who are committed to functional food research that have brought together ideas and research to treat chronic illnesses and improve the quality of life through the utilization of functional foods with bioactive compounds. This book presents the discovery, sources, potential health benefits, and safety aspects of bioactive compounds and functional foods for health and disease, in addition to, the scientific research and development of novel functional food products. This issue not only preserves the numerous scientific concepts and contributions made in the field of functional food, but also lays the foundation for a field of science that will undoubtedly logarithmically expand in the coming years, changing modern society's relationship with medicine.
