Habitual food consumption of the Belgian population in 2014-2015 and adherence to food-based dietary guidelines.
order to evaluate the habitual food consumption in the general Belgian population and to compare it with food-based dietary guidelines (FBDG) and results of the 2004 Food Consumption Survey. Methods: ...
Simultaneous determination of parabens, bisphenols and alkylphenols in human placenta by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry
these compounds occurs. The method will be useful for studies to evaluate the health effects associated with this prenatal exposure. Health Topics: Health and environment Food consumption and food safety ...
A probabilistic approach for risk-benefit assessment of food substitutions: A case study on substituting meat by fish
difference model Abstract: Accounting for substitution of foods is inevitable when evaluating health impact of dietary changes. But substitution behavior and the associated health impact may vary between ...
Risk to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and perfluorooctanoic acid in food
PFOA PFOS Risk Assessment Abstract: Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA for a scientific evaluation on the risks to human health related to the presence of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) ...
Generating the evidence for risk reduction: a contribution to the future of food-based dietary guidelines.
results scored (e.g. using NutriGrade). Tools such as a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews or ROBIS are available to evaluate the methodological quality/risk of bias of meta-analyses. To further ...

the neonate, and the young child. By means of an online self-administered frequency questionnaire, this study aimed to evaluate the intake of vitamins A, D, E, and K in Belgian infants (= 455), toddlers ...
Coatings in food contact materials: Potential source of genotoxic contaminants?
use in FCM coatings has not (recently) been evaluated. Since detailed evaluation of all compounds is not feasible, a pragmatic approach was developed to identify substances with a potential concern for ...
Strain- and Dose-Dependent Reduction of Toxoplasma gondii Burden in Pigs Is Associated with Interferon-Gamma Production by CD8(+) Lymphocytes in a Heterologous Challenge Model.
cellular immune responses, the presence of viable parasites and the parasite load in edible meat samples were evaluated. In homologous infection experiments the parasite persistence was clearly ...
