Food always has an important meaning for human health, using unhygienic and unsafe food can be poisoned. Understanding the causes of food poisoning and prevention measures is essential to protect the health of yourself, your family and everyone in society.
Food toxicology is the study of the nature, behavior and effects of toxins and toxins in the field or related to the food sector.
Toxins, the food toxins that cause food poisoning, can appear in two ways:
– Toxins and toxins are available in foods (in bamboo shoots, mushrooms, tapioca, or accumulate through exchange and absorption of nutrients from soil, water, and air).
– Foreign toxins infect food through raw materials, processing, preservation and even in use (such as E. coli, Coli form, dust germs, bacteria, fungi, contaminated water, etc.).
Food poisoning, also commonly known as food poisoning or food poisoning, is a pathological manifestation that appears after eating and drinking and is also a phenomenon in which people are poisoned, poisoned by eating and drinking certain foods. foods that are contaminated, contaminated or contain toxic substances or foods that are degraded, rancid, with preservatives, additives, etc. It can also be considered as a food-borne disease, the result of eating contaminated food or in other words, food and drink containing toxins or toxins that exceed the allowable food safety limit.
People with food poisoning often manifest through clinical symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, fever, abdominal pain,… Food poisoning is not only harmful to health (can lead to death). death) but also makes people mentally tired and spends money.
The main cause of food poisoning is due to eating or drinking food that has been contaminated or contaminated with chemicals (heavy metals, mycotoxins, …) or toxins transmitted through the food chain ( food chairn).
According to experts on food safety and hygiene, summer food poisoning is often caused by food contaminated with microorganisms (bacteria, parasites), because the high summer temperature is favorable for microorganisms to multiply and develope. In particular, foods derived from animals such as meat, eggs, fish, and milk are rich in protein, which easily becomes a good environment for microorganisms, especially pathogenic bacteria, to grow and then wake up. The food turned into poison.
Infectious diseases caused by microorganisms, food-borne toxins, or food poisoning caused by chemicals or by ingesting poisonous leaves, fruits, mushrooms and fungi, etc., are common all over the world. gender. It is estimated that in the United States alone, more than 75 million cases occur annually, causing about 5,000 deaths each year.
Along with the strong development of industry, agriculture, commerce, service, economy, people’s food needs are increasingly demanding. But no matter how high, sophisticated, or complicated the human food needs are, the raw materials (or origins) to make that food are still plants and animals on earth. The strong development in all areas of human life, especially industry and agriculture, sometimes, if not every day, has a negative impact on the earth’s environment, which means effects on flora and fauna. These effects can be seen very clearly such as the mass death of animals, the reduction of forests, etc., but they can also be silent and dangerous effects such as the creeping and accumulation of toxic wastes. Harmful in the food chain and in the food we eat every day. Therefore, there have been many cases of acute poisoning, fatal or unrecognizable, and then a time after incurable cancer.
Food poisoning (referred to as food poisoning – NDTP) has been studied for a long time and studied a lot. But with a food toxicology perspective, we will learn the origin and status of poisoning through the food chain or through food and its effects on people and the community, in order to protect health from the very beginning. Not happen.
Food toxicology is a discipline that is interested in toxins, toxins in their generation or invasion and harm, as well as not forgetting to mention the prevention and control of poisoning.
There are three concepts that always go together, but three but one:
- Food poisoning
Food poisoning is a medical condition caused by eating or drinking contaminated food or substances that are toxic to human health. Food poisoning usually manifests itself in two forms: acute poisoning and chronic poisoning:
+ Acute poisoning: usually manifests about 30 minutes or days after eating contaminated food. Symptoms of poisoning with these foods are: passing loose stools several times a day, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting continuously, fatigue, irritability, headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, etc. Acute toxicity is usually caused by ingestion of food contaminated with microorganisms or chemicals in large quantities.
+ Chronic poisoning: often there are no obvious signs after eating contaminated food.
The book Food Toxicology was born to serve the lessons in universities or for reference experts.
The book may have many shortcomings, hope to receive sincere suggestions from readers.
Thank you for your cooperation.
