It is clear that the prospects of functional foods and nutraceuticals already excite the scientific community into discovering new substances that promise to extend healthy life. The greatest challenge will remain in the public policy and regulatory arenas, which will encourage research and development of products providing health benefits and permit remarking of products in truthful, nonmisleading communications while protecting public health and maintaining public confidence.
显然，功能性食品和营养保健品的前景已经激发科学界去发现有望延长健康寿命的新物质。最大的挑战仍将存在于公共政策和监管领域，该领域既要鼓励研发有益健康的产品，又要允许在真实、不误导的宣传中对产品进行重新标注，同时还要保护公众健康并维持公众信心。
