An often discussed question is the accuracy of the data provided by respondents about their eating. In the data distortion of food consumption, apart from memory, sex, age and education of respondents, other psychosocial and somatic factors also play an important role. In the present study, the influence of body weight (BMI) on the accuracy of records made by respondents about their energy intake and energy balance was analysed. 2,691 medical students (1,019 men, 1,672 women, mean age 22.28 ± 1.25 years) were examined. Energy intake (EI) was calculated from a 24-hour recording of food consumption, energy expenditure (EE) was calculated from...

Chemoprotective substances comprise a large (broad) group of natural substances occurring in plant foods. In humans, they exert a lot (plenty) of biological effects mostly by having a favourable influence on the health, especially as anticarcinogens and antiatherogenic agens. Antioxidant defense mechanisms as well as a stimulation and/or inhibition of enzymes engaged in various metabolic or regulation processes such as controlling the detoxification activities, signal transduction, cell division and apoptosis and lipid metabolism are of the particular significance regarding the biological activites of these substances. A support and promotion of health...
