Even though food has many health advantages, people nowadays struggle with several health problems as a result of food adulteration. The use of essence, industrialization, and the price of development all contribute to the prosperity of civilization and the adulteration of food. It is a result of corporate unbridled consumerism and selfishness, which does so intentionally to maximize gain. Food adulteration lowers food quality and has a variety of detrimental effects on human health. The table in this study highlights adulteration in about 50 food products and shows that there are nearly 55 adulterants present. Some of these, such as heavy metals, some synthetic colorants, brick dust, calcium carbide, melamine, DDT, formaldehyde, urea, etc., seriously affect human health. These adulterants have the potential to cause a slew of fatal diseases, wreaking havoc on public health. Food adulteration has a variety of acute and chronic effects on the human body, including inflammation, digestive issues, urinary issues, non-carcinogenic hazards, carcinogenic hazards, and so on. Among these are several diseases that can be fatal.

A huge amount of information associated with the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak was circulated by mass media in Bangladesh. There has been a rare example so far of how media intervention during the epidemic can affect the public behaviour of Bangladesh. We aimed to assess mass media's influence on changing public behaviour during the second wave of COVID-19. An online cross-sectional survey among 416 Bangladeshi respondents was conducted between August and September 2021. Besides descriptive statistics, datasets were analyzed through a set of statistical methods such as Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression model. The results showed that knowledge level change towards COVID-19 (10 items) had the highest association with behaviour change towards COVID-19 (16 items), indicating a high adoption of public behavior change. There was a positive significant relationship between the behaviour change towards COVID-19 (16 items) with the media's role in making awareness regarding COVID-19 (r= 0.342, p < .001), while there was a negative relationship between the behaviour change towards COVID-19 (16 items) of the respondents with age of participants (r= -.234, p < .001). The results also disclosed that knowledge level, media credibility, and media check-in had the largest contribution to influence the public behavior change. We also found that social media was highly used media as expected during the COVID-19 outbreak. The outcomes of the survey have vital implications for public behavior change and may support infectious disease suppression and control. Our outcomes also stress the significance of the reliability of information shared via mass media outlets and practical strategies to counter misinformation during the COVID-19 outbreak.

Background: Unlike the double burden of malnutrition, which has had severe consequences for countries all over the world, the triple burden of malnutrition is also causing problems. As a consequence, almost all human behaviours, such as the degree of human physical activity, dietary patterns, physical characteristics and disorder are evolving day after day. Methods:We analyzed more than 60 articles and included data and information from 26 corresponding sources. These studies have been carried out in voluminous developed and underdeveloped countries of Asia, Africa, America and Europe's. Results:The findings of these studies showed that in underdeveloped countries, human attitudes, dietary practices, and disease status have been rapidly evolving. In comparison to the previous period, the people of these countries are leading more sedentary lifestyles in the present and consume a high-fat, high-sugar, and high-salt diet. As a result, they've developed a variety of non-communicable diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and chronic heart disease. Conclusion:Along with the adverse consequences of nutrition transition in underdeveloped countries, many others have been suffering from malnutrition, causing these countries to endure a double burden. That's why; all responsible authorities should take and apply necessary steps to tackle this burden as early as possible.
