Dietary exposure to furocoumarins

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 1991
Natural furocoumarins, some of which are carcinogenic, are widespread components of the diet which are frequently consumed. Because of the paucity of samples, the wide scatter of analytical values, and other limitations in the data, only broad conclusions can be drawn.

Calculations of dietary exposure to acrylamide

Mutation Research/Genetic Toxicology and Environmental Mutagenesis, 2005
In this paper we calculated the usual and acute exposure to acrylamide (AA) in the Dutch population and young children (1-6 years). For this AA levels of different food groups were used as collected by the Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) of the European Commission's Directorate General Joint Research Centre (JRC) from April ...

Dietary exposures to persistent organic pollutants

Toxicology and Industrial Health, 2001
As one of the main components of risk assessment, exposure assessment plays a key role in evaluating risk. Many different scenarios can be developed to estimate the risk from exposure to chemicals such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition (CFSAN) is primarily ...

Future of dietary exposure assessment

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995
Nutritional epidemiology depends on valid assessment of exposure of individuals to food-borne factors. The tools being applied are generally blunt instruments that are simple for the scientist to administer and analyze. The burden of aggregating foods, combining amounts, drawing on episodic or generic memory, and interpreting the questions is placed on

Early Exposure to Dietary Sugar and Salt

Pediatrics, 2015
Obesity, with its comorbidities such as cardiovascular heart disease (CVD), is one of the most common chronic diseases in childhood.1 It probably begins early in life, and as the prevalence continues to rise the diets of young children assume increasing significance.

Dietary exposures to nitrate in the UK

Food Additives and Contaminants, 1999
Dietary exposures to nitrate have been estimated for two different groups of UK consumers. The daily dietary exposure of the general population was estimated from the UK 1997 Total Diet study to be 52 mg/day. Vegetables contributed approximately 70% to this total dietary exposure.

An Alternative Approach to Dietary Exposure Assessment

Risk Analysis, 1994
The method of dietary exposure assessment currently used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Dietary Residue Evaluation System (DRES), combines a consumption distribution derived from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) 1977‐1978 Nationwide Food Consumption Survey (NFCS) with a single estimate of residue level. The National

Pesticide residues in food—acute dietary exposure

Pest Management Science, 2004
Abstract Consumer risk assessment is a crucial step in the regulatory approval of pesticide use on food crops. Recently, an additional hurdle has been added to the formal consumer risk assessment process with the introduction of short‐term intake or exposure assessment and a comparable short‐term toxicity reference, the acute ...

Styrene in foods and dietary exposure estimates

Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A, 2018
Low levels of styrene may be found in foods as a result of possible migration from polystyrene-based food packaging and as a result of its formation during the biodegradation of a wide variety of naturally occurring compounds with structures similar to styrene.

Immunology of Dietary Exposures

The chapter delves into the intricate relationship between the immune system and food in the context of autoimmune diseases. Recent research has shown that dietary components, such as gluten, dairy proteins, and certain food additives, can cause abnormal immune responses in vulnerable individuals.
