These results would imply external influences, e.g., dietary intake of thymidine, are stabilizing the TSER allele frequency among populations where differences would be expected. In the Asian populations, TSER 3 is about 5- to 6-fold more common than TSER 2 [82]. Higher levels of TS induced by the presence of...

In Hsinchu, Taiwan, the dietary intake of a- and P-endosulfan was studied from June 1996 to April 1997 (Doong and Lee 1999). p-Endosulfan was not detected in any of the 14 different foods studied, including fruits, meats, seafood, and cereal, and a-endosulfan, by contrast, was found in 78 of 149 samples at an average concentration of 2.76 ng/g wet weight. Based on the average Taiwanese diet, the estimated daily intake of a-endosulfan was 6.24x10 " mg body weight/day. 

Routine antioxidant vitamin supplementation, e.g. with vitamins C and/or E, of the diabetic diet should be considered. Vitamin C depletion is present in all diabetics irrespective of the presence of vascular disease. A recent study demonstrated no significant difference between the dietary intake of vitamin C (the main determinant of plasma ascorbate) in patients with diabetes and age-matched controls, confirming the view that ascorbate depletion is secondary to the diabetic process and su esting that diabetic patients require additional intakes of the vitamin to maintain optimal levels (Sinclair et /., 1994). Antioxidant supplementation may have additive beneficial effects on a wide variety of processes involved in diabetic vascular damage including blood pressure, immune function, inflammatory reactions. 

At least some of the antioxidant nutrients are essential to human health, and others (such as carotenoids) may be highly beneficial, particularly in preventing cancer (e.g. Block et /., 1992). However, we do not yet know what dietary intakes are optimal. In principle, this could be investigated by varying the dietary intake of antioxidants and measuring free-radical damage in the human body. This is one of our current research directions.

Iron-deficiency anemia can be caused by inadequate dietary intake, inadequate GI absorption, increased iron demand (e.g., pregnancy), blood loss, and chronic diseases. 

HS-II. The mean (+ SD) daily apparent absorption values were 153+77, 94+65 and 23+66 mg for 0.5, 1.7 and 2.9 g phytate intakes, respectively. There was a significant difference between all means P <0.05, by ANOVA. A plot of apparent absorption of calcium vs the dietary phytate/calcium molar ratio is shown in Figure 1. 

The extensive use of phthalates as plasticizers in various materials (furniture, plastics, electronics equipment, textiles, etc.) has led to the widespread and substantial contamination of the indoor environment, e.g., air and dust [3, 96, 97]. Indoor environment and dietary intake are of special concern for the increasing...
