Khalsamehta, Abraham Armah, Mumtaz Cheema, and Raymond Thomas. 2024. \u2018Cannabis-Infused Foods: Phytonutrients, Health, and Safe Product Innovations\u2019. <em>Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety<\/em> 23(5):e70021. doi:10.1111\/1541-4337.70021.<\/a><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cannabis-infused foods are currently on the rise in markets all around the world. Meanwhile, there are concerns over the health implications for consumers. Studies have explored the therapeutic potential and nutritional and economic benefits of cannabis usage. Yet, the phytonutrients, processing methods, and health implications of cannabis-infused foods have not been well explored. This review evaluates existing evidence on the nutritional, processing, safety, and phytonutrient composition of cannabis-infused food products and their medicinal and functional prospects. Cannabis seeds contain the highest amount of dietary nutrients, while flowers contain the highest amount of bioactive constituents. Oils, butter, seeds, flowers, and leaf extracts are the plant forms currently incorporated into food products such as beverages, baked products, cooking ingredients, functional foods, nutraceuticals, and nootropics. Cannabis-infused foods have been found to offer therapeutic benefits for pain management, brain function, gut health, and certain cancers. Findings also show significant constraints associated with cannabis-infused foods regarding dosage guidelines, limited research, efficacy, and long-term health effects on consumers. This is further worsened by the lack of policies that regulate the industry. To realize the full potential of cannabis use in the food and health industries and in research, regulatory guidelines are needed to control dosages and improve its efficient use in these industries. This will go a long way to ensure the safety of cannabis users and enhance responsible production, marketing, and distribution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fordjour, Eric, Charles F.
