Summary

The investigators have designed a three dose level, cross-over vegetable feeding study using expertise from nutritional sciences and plant sciences to:

1. Implement a randomized vegetable feeding trial among overweight post- menopausal women
2. Produce, in a controlled environmental setting, vegetable crops which provide a selected variety and quantity of carotenoid and nutrient exposure
3. Assess changes and hopefully demonstrate a significant reduction in oxidant stress and inflammation in this population at risk for developing chronic disease
