The situation in Fiji is complicated, as it is elsewhere, by the prevalence of other types of marine intoxications, e.g. scrombrotoxicity and those associated with the consumption of the internal organs of bottom species and crustaceans. The ethnic composition of the population in the various island groups also influences the morbidity statistics. Fijian Indians purchase less fish than Melanesians (11). While by and large the islands commercial fishermen are Fijian Indians, the rural/urban distribution of the population, and food preferences suggest that Melanesian Fijians consume more fresh fish than their Indian counterparts. Incidence may be influenced by relative ethnic composition and food preferences in a given area. 

Many related variables effect both nutrition and marine resource development in the Pacific. A number of factors have contributed to a change in traditional dietary patterns, to different agricultural and fishing practices, and to a dependence on imported foodstuffs. Food preferences, particularly for refined carbohydrates, have...

Several dietary flavonoid intake studies have now been completed using the Dutch composition data often with additional estimates of flavonoid content of local food preferences such as berries (Table 4.14). Comparison of these intake studies indicates that quercetin is consistently the main contributor to flavonol and flavone intake. In the Netherlands, for example, quercetin accounts for 70% of the 23 mg/day total flavonol and flavone intake followed by kaempferol (17%), myricetin (6%), luteolin (4%), and apigenin (3%). ...

Proteins are important from the nutritional and technological points of view. Proteins affect every property that characterizes a living organism, and they play different roles in the human body. Proteins are also very important in food technology and are responsible for many food properties. The physical properties of proteins and their interactions with other components contribute significantly to the functional behavior and quality of several food products, such as cheese, bread, and meat products (9). An overview of the functional roles of proteins in different food systems is presented in Table 2. Food preferences by human beings are based not on nutritional quality but on sensory attributes to the food, such as appearance, color, flavor, texture, and... 

The previous examples were meant to illustrate the chemical diversity associated with individual food preferences. Because the examples cannot be comprehensive, individuals who wish to regulate the number and type of chemicals they consume should use Exhibits 1 through 13 to evaluate their own food choices.
