Arsenic and Chromium in Canned and Non-Canned Beverages in Nigeria: A Potential Public Health Concern
Numerous studies have described environmental exposure of humans to heavy metals in African populations. Little is known about the exposure to heavy metal toxins from processed or unprocessed foods consumed in Africa, and no data exists on the food concentrations of arsenic and chromium, which are potential carcinogens and systemic toxicants. This study determined the concentrations of arsenic ...

متن کاملCombined Irradiation-Heat Processing of Canned Foods
The quantity of ionizing radiations needed to sterilize canned foods generally impairs both their nutritive qualities and palatability (Hannan, 1955; Schultz et al., 1956). However, thermal processes also lower these qualities in canned foods (Stumbo, 1949). In both instances, the extent of damage increases with the severity of the treatments. Consequently, the heat processing schedules that ar...
متن کاملPoverty, Public Health and Local Foods
In this exploratory analysis we explore the interplay between poverty, public health and access to local foods using data for U.S. counties. We ask one simple question: Does access to local foods dampen or mitigate the relationship between poverty and health? As expected we find a strong relationship between poverty and public health and we also find that access to higher levels of local foods ...
