Review: This first volume in a new annual series on food toxicity contains a very wide range of review articles written by leading international experts. Topics addressed include food allergies, DDT in breast milk, phyto-oestrogens in relation to female hormonal cancers, and apoptosis in the intestine, for example. Among other chapters, metals in wine and the toxicity of carrageenan are discussed. The book is aimed at those in the food or nutrition industry, academics researching related sciences, and those interested in food toxicity in general.
