Abstract:
People\'s perception on what is healthy and what is toxic food, determines food preferences and eating behavior. The difference between heathy and toxic food and food ingredients is however not always clear. This is illustrated with 10 examples. Unjustly, all-natural food is regarded as safe. Regulation on health claims on food and food risks is not balanced. Biphasic responses of the physiological effect of food ingredients show that mild toxicity of these substances results in health promotion. Nutritional substances with drugs may have either a negative or a positive effect on health. New toxicological methodologies can be brought into play, to better understand the dynamics of health and disease. Unfortunately, we still cannot taste toxicity.

人们对健康和有毒食物的看法,决定食物偏好和饮食行为。然而,健康与有毒食物和食物成分之间的区别并不总是很清楚。这用10个例子来说明。不公正,全天然食品被认为是安全的。关于食品和食品风险的健康声明的法规不平衡。食品成分的生理效应的双相反应表明,这些物质的轻度毒性导致健康促进。含有药物的营养物质可能对健康产生负面影响或积极影响。新的毒理学方法可以发挥作用,更好地了解健康和疾病的动态。不幸的是,我们仍然不能品尝毒性。
