How does Nutritional Toxicology differ from General Toxicology?
While general toxicology focuses on the harmful effects of chemical substances on living organisms, nutritional toxicology zooms in on the role of diet in modifying these effects. It considers both the protective effects of nutrients, such as antioxidants, and their potential to enhance toxicity under certain circumstances. The interplay between nutrients and toxins can result in outcomes that are not immediately apparent in standard toxicological assessments.
