The Aliment to Bodily Condition knowledgebase (ABCkb): a database connecting plants and human health.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Overconsumption of processed foods has led to an increase in chronic diet-related diseases such obesity and type 2 diabetes. Although diets high in fresh fruits and vegetables are linked with healthier outcomes, the specific mechanisms for these relationships are poorly understood. Experiments examining plant phytochemical production and breeding programs, or separately on the health effects of nutritional supplements have yielded results that are sparse, siloed, and difficult to integrate between the domains of human health and agriculture. To connect plant products to health outcomes through their molecular mechanism an integrated computational resource is necessary.

Results

We created the Aliment to Bodily Condition Knowledgebase (ABCkb) to connect plants to hum
