Principles and Methods for the Assessment of Risk from Essential Trace Elements - ILO, UNEP

Principles and Methods for the Assessment of Risk from Essential Trace Elements: Environmental Health Criteria Series No. 228 (Environmental Healt Criteria)
by: ILO, UNEP

Summary The risk assessment approach described in this monograph applies only to essential trace elements (ETEs) involved in human health and not to non-essential elements. The purpose of this monograph is to provide the scientific principles that support the concept of an "acceptable range of oral intake" (AROI), which uses a "homeostatic model" for determining the range of dietary intakes for essential trace elements (ETEs) that meet the nutritional requirements of a healthy population and avoid excess intakes. To facilitate comparisons, AROIs are discussed in relation to other risk assessment approaches. Although it includes examples, this monograph is not a compendium of assessments on ETEs, nor is it a textbook detailing the scientific basis of risk assessment of the derivation of dietary reference intakes.

Food Marketing to Children and Youth - Committee on Food Marketing and the Diets of Children and Youth

Food Marketing to Children and Youth: Threat or Opportunity?
by: Committee on Food Marketing and the Diets of Children and Youth

Creating an environment in which children in the United States grow up healthy should be a high priority for the nation. Yet the prevailing pattern of food and beverage marketing to children in America represents, at best, a missed opportunity, and at worst, a direct threat to the health prospects of the next generation. Children's dietary and related health patterns are shaped by the interplay of many factors - their biologic affinities, their culture and values, their economic status, their physical and social environments, and their commercial media environments - all of which, apart from their genetic predispositions, have undergone significant transformations during the past three decades. Among these environments, none have more rapidly assumed central socializing roles among children and youth than the media. With the growth in the variety and the penetration of the media, have come a parallel growth with their use for marketing, including the marketing of food and beverage products. What impact has food and beverage marketing had on the dietary patterns and health status of American children? The answer to this question has the potential to shape a generation and is the focus of "Food Marketing to Children and Youth". This book will be of interest to parents, federal and state government agencies, educators and schools, health care professionals, industry companies, industry trade groups, media, and those involved in community and consumer advocacy.
