Dear Colleague,
In this issue of Trends, we provide several articles on the topic of food and beverages as it relates to chemical exposure and human health.
Our first article discusses nutritional epidemiology and its role in understanding the risks and benefits of food. The second article explores chemicals in food packaging and test methods to assess their potential migration. The third article takes a closer look at food warning labels and related regulations, and our fourth article provides an overview of recent efforts by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA) to make changes to food safety standards.
Gradient contributors to this Trends issue include Drs. Julie Goodman, Denali Boon, Caroline Tuit, and Steven Boomhower, and Ari Lewis, M.S.
We hope this issue of Trends provides a well-rounded look at the science behind food and beverages.
Yours truly,
Kurt Herman, M.Eng., P.G., and Chris Long, Sc.D., DABT
