Ethnicity

United States Imports of Spices and Oleoresins. The consumption of spices has continued to increase in the United States into 1993 (7). The demand for ethnic foods, and the trend toward less salt, glycerides, and fat, has stimulated more spice and condiment use. The United States consumes approximately 25% of the spices produced in the world. In 1993, imports accounted for about 65% of U.S. seasoning needs compared to 80% in the early 1980s. In 1991 approximately 50% by value of U.S. imported spices entered New York, the principal port of entry around 1983 more than 75% was imported through this port. The volume of spices and oleoresins (spice extracts) into the United States has been increasing steadily, but the value of imports has varied because of specific shortages and large price variations (Table 1).

To conclude, this sampling of the literature of risk perception, the comments of Covello, 1981 may be summarized. Surveys have been of small specialized groups - generally not representative of the population as a whole. There has been little attempt to analyze the effects of ethnicity, religion, sex, region age, occupation and other variables that may affect risk perception. People respond to surveys with the first thing that comes to mind and tend to stick to this answer. They provide an answer to any question asked even when they have no opinion, do not understand the question or have inconsistent beliefs. Surveys are influenced by the order of questions, speed of response, whether a verbal or numerical respon.se is required and by how the answer is posed. Few Studies have examined the relationships between perceptions of technological hazards and behavior which seems to be influenced by several factors such as positive identification with a leader, efficacy of social and action, physical proximity to arenas of social conflict.

It is a diner that, since it was taken over by Stuart Tarabour and Dona Abramson, who are now husband and wife, in 1991, has had improbably good food—short order but stylish. Mr. Tarabour preceded it slightly, with Kitchen Market, an ethnic food store, which he opened in 1985. 

Spice Market is movie Tibet—big-lot Buddhism. The two-level, 13,000-square-foot space provides an Indiana Jones—style sound stage for the new globalism. The restaurant, with a menu developed from the foods of Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Burma and Thailand, is itself ethnically mixed, or globally brown. ... 

Essential to the definition of Pharmacogenetics is the term genetic polymorphism. It is extrapolated that there are at least three million genetic polymorphisms in the human genome. Historically, a genetic polymorphism was defined as a genetic variation with a population frequency of 1% and above, but the larger inter-ethnic variation of population frequencies makes a strict definition based on such frequencies impractical. The most common molecular type of polymorphism is the...

The incidence of these syndromes seems to vary according to geographical area and ethnic background but is about 0.2-0.3 per 100,000.population (mean annual incidence rate). However incidence rates calculated for adult populations are up to three times higher. The fifth and sixth decades show peak incidence rates and there is also clear biomodality across the full age spectrum due to the existence of a juvenile form of dermatomyositis (JDM) which is pathogenetically distinct. Polymyositis, uncomplicated by skin changes, can also occur as a juvenile condition.

People who abuse inhalants are found in both urban and rural settings. Adverse socioeconomic conditions, rather than racial or cultural factors per se, account for most reported ethnic differences in rates of inhalant abuse. Native American youths living on reservations typically have higher rates of inhalant abuse than youths both in the general population and among Native Americans who do not live on reservations (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 1996). 

Chnical and epidemiological observations suggest that inhalant use in humans occurs along a continuum, with considerable variability in usage patterns among individuals as a function of age, gender, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, avahabihty and type of inhalant, and other clinical variables. As a general rule, it is expected that as inhalant consumption and frequency of intoxication increase, the incidence and severity of medical and psychosocial problems wiU increase.
