Refining the Threshold of Toxicological Concern (TTC) for Risk Prioritization of Trace Chemicals in Food
Journal Article 2009
This paper, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology (2009;47:2236–2245), builds on the existing TTC literature and recommends refinements that address two key areas: the inclusion of genotoxicity and duration of exposure.
Functional Foods for Health Promotion: Microbes and Health
Journal Article 2009
This set of expanded abstracts, published in Nutrition Reviews (2009;67:40–48), includes a general introduction and overview of how diet or dietary components can influence microbial growth and, ultimately, disease risk and overall health.
Towards Establishing Dietary Reference Intakes for Eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acids (DHA)
Journal Article 2009
This paper, published in the Journal of Nutrition (2009;139:804S–819S), summarizes a workshop sponsored by the Dietary Lipids Committee that presented the current scientific understanding of the impact of dietary EPA and DHA on cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and cancer outcomes.
Intake of Added Sugars and Selected Nutrients in the United States, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2003—2006
Journal Article 2010
The primary objectives of this study, published in Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition (2010;50:228–258), were to utilize National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to update the reference table data on intake of added sugars from the Institute of Medicine report and compute food sources of added sugars.
The State of the Science on Dietary Sweeteners Containing Fructose: Summary and Issues to Be Resolved
Journal Article 2009
This article, published in the Journal of Nutrition (2009;139:1269S–1270S), highlights the discussion of the issues that were raised during a workshop sponsored by the North American branch of the International Life Sciences Institute and the USDA Agricultural Research Service surrounding the consumption of fructose.
Early Risk Determinants and Later Health Outcomes
Journal Article 2009
This workshop, discussed in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2009;89), stemmed from a quest to consolidate current knowledge on the early determinants of maternal and child health outcomes related to obesity, cardiovascular disease risk, and neurodevelopment. The primary goal was to delineate the relative influence of genetics and environmental factors.
Functional Foods for Health Promotion: State-of-the-Science on Dietary Flavonoids
Journal Article 2009
This article, published in Nutrition Reviews (2009;67:736–743), indicates that dietary flavonoids, particularly flavanols, show promising potential for reducing cardiovascular disease risk via reduction of inflammation and improvement in vascular function.
Guidance for Assessing the Probiotics Beneficial Effects: How to Fill the GAP (ILSI Europe Publication)
Journal Article 2010
Based on the existing evidence, concrete examples of demonstration of benefits and gaps are listed in this article published in this supplement to the Journal of Nutrition (2010;140), and guidelines and recommendations are defined that should help design the next generation of probiotic studies.
Kinetic and Mechanistic Data for a Human Physiologically Bases Pharmacokinetic (PBPK) Model for Acrylamide
Journal Article 2005
Despite gaps and limitations to the database, model parameters have been estimated to provide a relatively consistent description of the kinetics of acrylamide and glycidamide using a single set of values (with minor adjustments in some cases). This review, published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (2005;561:117–125), discusses the PBPK model for acrylamide.
Human Exposure and Internal Dose Assessments of Acrylamide in Food
Journal Article 2005
This review, published in Food and Chemical Toxicology (2005;43:365–410), provides a framework contributing to the risk assessment of acrylamide in food. It is based on the outcome of the ILSI Europe FOSIE process, a risk assessment framework for chemicals in foods and adds to the overall framework by focusing especially on exposure assessment and internal dose assessment of acrylamide in food.
