Health Effects of Diet-Sourced Hazardous Factors

Dear Colleagues,

Over the past several decades, as society and economy developed in leaps and bounds, food sources have become diversified. The health effects of diet-sourced hazardous factors, including the excessive nutrient intake, food contaminants, etc., have been put in the spotlight. This SI aims to provide researchers, health professionals, and policymakers with a platform to share and discuss the latest research, including evidence-based findings, on the health effects of diet-sourced hazardous factors, serving as basis for public health protection.

The Special Issue covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to the following:

(1) Adverse health outcomes and toxicological studies of nutrients or food contaminants; 
(2) Dose–response relationship assessment of adverse health outcomes of excessive nutrient intake and the development of a tolerable upper intake level;
(3) Interactions between xenobiotics and nutrition/nutrients;
(4) Risk and risk–benefit assessments of nutrients or food components.
