Chemicals in Food: Implications for Baby and Public Health
Studies on Chemicals in Food and Their Impact
Recent research highlights the presence of thousands of food-contact chemicals (FCCs) in humans. Approximately 25% of these chemicals are found within the human body, indicating a concerning trend related to food safety.
Biomonitoring and Chemical Analysis
Through extensive chemical analysis and biomonitoring, scientists have identified various metabolites linked to the manufacturing of food-contact materials. This raises pressing questions about their effects on health, particularly for vulnerable populations such as babies.
The Role of Epidemiology in Understanding Risks
Epidemiological studies are essential to ascertain the health impacts associated with prolonged exposure to these substances. Addressing gaps in hazard data for many chemicals is critical in ensuring public health.
