“…Available data from epidemiological studies provide increasing evidence on the close connection between human health status and the quality of diet, as well as chemical pollution of the natural and occupational environment (European Food Safety Authority [EFSA], 2009;EFSA, 2012;Fagerberg et al, 2015;Julin et al, 2012;Nogawa et al, 2017;Satarug, Vesey, & Gobe, 2017a, 2017b. These data, together with reports on the unavoidable and increasing lifetime exposure of the general population in industrialized countries to numerous substances hazardous to health (United Nations Environment Programme [UNEP], 2010; World Health Organization [WHO], 2010a), have attracted growing attention that has now been focused not only on recognizing the main environmental risk factors for human health, but also on effective ways of preventing the unfavorable effects of exposure to them, or at least to ameliorating these effects (Mężyńska & Brzóska, 2018;Nogawa et al, 2017;WHO, 2010aWHO, , 2010b. It is particularly important in regard to organs and systems at highest risk of damage, such as the liver (Hyder et al, 2013;Kang, Cho, Lim, Seo, & Hong, 2013;Mężyńska & Brzóska, 2018;Satarug et al, 2017aSatarug et al, , 2017bWallin et al, 2016;Wang et al, 2016) .…”
