Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Food is the basis of nutrition, providing us with the nutrients and other elements essential for the proper functioning of the body. However, in recent years, increased anthropogenic pressure and pollution, as well as a fast-paced lifestyle, have had a negative impact on nutrition and food quality. For example, industrial food products have been singled out for their lack of nutrients and their negative impact on health. Recent studies have also linked environmental pollution to the high presence of certain elements that are harmful to health, such as toxic metals. This is why several research groups have focused on determining the content of toxic metals and other substances harmful to health in foods, with the aim of monitoring contamination and assessing dietary exposure. This Special Issue is open to receive research results and/or quality reviews on the nutritional aspect of foods and/or levels of contaminants in these foods.
