Abstract
Cultural conditions alter society's attitudes toward food. The increase in population, desire for variety in the diet, demand for processed and convenience items, increased alteration and fortification of chemical content of food for medical, nutritional, and aesthetic reasons—all these reflect value judgments affecting the balance of risks and benefits.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
