[交流] 【分享】ANTIOXIDANTS: SCIENTIFIC BASIS,REGULATORY ASPECTS ...【已搜索无复重】

In July 1993 the task force organised an International Symposium on Antioxidants and Disease Prevention in Stockholm which resulted in the
publication of a concise monograph. Although this symposium was highly
successful as a scientific meeting, it only addressed briefly the practical application of the current state of knowledge on antioxidants. Accordingly, the task force decided to address this issue in a Workshop on ß-Carotene, Vitamin E, Vitamin C and Quercetin in the Prevention of Degenerative
Disease: The Role of Foods, which was held in June 1994 in Evian. Although a lot of time was spent debating scientific issues and methodology was a major preoccupation, it was possible to draw some general conclusions, and these were published as a workshop report. After discussing the report, the task force concluded that the next step should be to organize a second workshop bringing together representatives of the food industry, regulatory agencies, academia and consumer groups to examine how existing knowledge on antioxidants could be applied. This workshop was held in Brussels in February 1996.

Because science is the basis of product development, the first session of the workshop will be devoted to a scientific overview of antioxidants. At a time when everything is regulated by budgets there is an unfortunate temptation to cut basic research. Scientists must remind decision makers in industry and elsewhere that there are no shortcuts in science while avoiding the temptation to adopt a wait-and-see attitude. The second session will deal with the potential for antioxidants in product improvement. In discussions in this area, one should “beware of extremes and learn the power of moderation”. In the third session the regulatory framework will be discussed from the perspective of the European Union and individual countries. It should be kept in mind that no food laws would ever be written if all objections had first to be removed. However, although the driving force of science requires the accelerator of marketing, it also needs the brake of legislation to ensure safety. The fourth session will be a panel discussion which will urge that practical conclusions should contribute to the regulatory decision process as well as serve as a basis for product development. Despite recent controversies in antioxidant research, the conclusions drawn from the two previous meetings organised by the task force are still valid. This suggests that ILSI has avoided drawing conclusions prematurely. The eagerness of food industrialists and others to act must be tempered by an appreciation of the imperfections in our scientific knowledge and understanding.
