What are the effects of chemicals in food and drinks on a cellular function?
Effects
Toxic effects such as gastrointestinal symptoms, kidney damage, liver disease, impairment of neurons system and DNA damage
Linked to drinks such as alcohol, which have large effects on kidney and livers
Food
food preparation process
pre washed
cooked on high temps for long periods of time
production method
-pesticides
fertilizers used to grow food
food storage
Ethical
No Harm to participant
o
Ethical requirement's
Informed consent-need to know what is going on in the experiment so they are fully aware of what they must do and the possible risks.
Voluntary participation- must not be forced or pressured to do so in any way, shape, or form.
confidentiality-personal information of all participants must not be shared
right to withdraw-must inform participants they have the right to withdraw at any point in the experiment
debriefing of the experiment
Harmful chemicals
might contain traces of toxic properties which could possibly cause effects in neurons which could be exposed long term (also depending on consumption rate and trace levels.
linked to animal farming
Hormones are used in animal farming to accelerate weight gain and growth, eating too much meat which contains high levels of hormones can carry side effects
What type of chemicals
Guar Gum (used to thicken and bind foods
effects
metabolism
dependent on age
weight
height
gender
health/fitness levels
harmful chemicals such as methylmercury, PCBS,PBDES
Food colouring
preservative's added to carbonated drinks
Sodium benzoate
Enzymes
Enzymes are used to break down the structure of fruit so manufacturers can extract more juice or convert the starch into sugar through alcohol production.
Energy in food is converted into energy for the body through the process known as cellular respiration
Allergic reactions
Certain chemicals commonly found in food which cause allergic reactions are
Food dyes and colorings (such as tartrazine, annatto, and carmine)
Antioxidants (such as BHA and BHT)
Emulsifiers and stabilizers (such as gums and lecithin)
Flavorings and taste enhancers (such as MSG, spices, and sweeteners)
Preservatives (such as benzoates, nitrites
positive and negative effects on growth?
