Wissenschaftsethik und Technikfolgenbeurteilung, Bd. 20: Functional foods

"Functional Foods are being introduced into society at a particularly sensitive moment. Diet-related diseases have assumed proper epidemic proportions significantly affecting the quality of life while obesity is spreading not only to the majority of the adult population but also, more worryingly, to young people who rarely have the option of alternative diets. As scientific proofs for the link between diet and disease accumulate, there are increasingly louder calls for policy action." "This report reviews Functional Foods from a multidisciplinary perspective focusing on safety, legal/policy aspects, economy, public perceptions and ethics. It attempts to clarify the main issues and provides comprehensive recommendations for policymaking."--BOOK JACKET.
