The availability of food and dietary habits have changed throughout history. At one time, meat and alcohol were reserved only for the wealthiest – and historically, the wealthiest were kings. With kings came, at that time, a socially desirable disease that distinguished them from the ‘lower’ classes, which we now know as gout. Today, gout is no longer seen in a royal light. Quite the opposite. Gout has become a reflection of poor dietary habits and lifestyle.
Throughout the history of modern man, the question of longevity has always been at the center of reflection. The search for the ‘magic pill’ – food and certain ingredients, secret components, as well as hard work and other similar methods that would grant us immortality, or a very long life, is a universal quest that has followed us for more than several millennia.
Compared to unprocessed food, processed food contains higher amounts of fat, sugar, salt, and calories. Some call it unnatural and toxic, while others just wave it off.
A nutritionist ensures that what you eat is the most nutritious choice for you and aligns with your goals. However, a nutritionist is not an expert in food safety. That’s why I asked my friend, Dr. Hana Mušinović, to write an article about the work of EFSA, the European Food Safety Authority.
