Fish and other seafood are important sources of nutrients, but they are also sources of chemical contaminants that may cause adverse health effects. This article aimed to identify existing risk–benefit assessments (RBA) of fish, shellfish, and other seafood, compare methodologies, discuss differences and commonalities in findings, and identify limitations and ways forward for future studies. We conducted a scop...
Livro de resumos do 3rd HBM-PT Workshop on Human BioMonitoring in Portugal sob o tema “Risk Assessment”, abrangendo trabalhos em torno das seguintes temáticas: Exposição a produtos químicos e efeitos na saúde humana; Influência da mudança do ambiente na exposição humana a produtos químicos; Integração de dados de monitorização humana e ambiental; Tradução dos dados de biomonitorização humana em ações regulament...
Cereal-based foods, including breakfast cereals (BC) and infant cereals (IC), are among the first solid foods introduced in infants’ diets. BC and IC are sources of nutrients that have beneficial effects on health. However, they can also be a source of potentially harmful chemical or microbiological contaminants, or of nutrients that at high consumption levels may lead to adverse health effects. Young children ...
A number of health disorders has been associated to exposure to hazardous chemicals during the first 1000 days of life. Therefore, a proper risk assessment built on accurate data assumes particular im-portance to evaluate the potential impact that early-life exposure could represent in adulthood. Mycotox-ins are secondary fungal metabolites that might cause harmful effects in humans and animals. Recent studies ...
Recent studies under MYCOMIX project reported that Portuguese children until 3 years old are exposed to multiple mycotoxins through food consumption, constituting a potential health threat. Aflatoxins (carcinogenic toxins) represented the main risk contributors and deoxynivalenol (a non-carcinogenic toxin associated with immunological and gastrointestinal toxic effects) showed the highest daily intake of the st...
As escolhas alimentares influenciam diretamente a dieta bem como o aporte diário de nutrientes. A sensibilização e a capacitação dos cidadãos para escolhas alimentares mais saudáveis é também determinante para uma estratégia para a promoção da alimentação saudável. Os alimentos pelos quais optamos apresentam compostos com efeitos benéficos, no entanto, alguns podem apresentar potencial efeito negativo para a sa...
Introduction: Risk-benefit assessment of foods (RBA) has emerged recently to estimate the overall impact of food, food ingredients and diets on human health. Significant methodological progress has been made and its value is now recognized to support the decision-making process in public health to prevent food-associated diseases and promote wellbeing in populations. Purpose: At this time, few research groups h...
