General description	Lectures involve all aspects of food toxicology, including all routes of contamination of the food chain, from drinking water till raw materials, preservation and processing, genetic modification, novel food toxicology, and to use of functional ingredients (functional foods). Attention is paid to natural toxins in food plants and animals, cancer modulating substances, mycotoxins, and all groups of contaminants such as pesticides, persistant organic pollutants (POPs), metals, packagings materials, hormones and animal drug residues. Also the role of genetic polymorphisms, gender, and lifestyle factors on the sensitivity of humans for toxic compounds, and biomarkers to assess these effects are included. Included are the effects of food on drugs efficacy and on biotransformation of xenobiotic compounds, the presence of psychotrophic compounds in food. In discussion groups attention is paid on risk assessment of natural compounds and additives and contaminants in different food items, and risk-benefit analysis for functional food ingredients and food supplements. In the practical course important toxicological methods and several innovative toxicological approaches are demonstrated, and toxicological experiments are performed using in vitro methods.
