“…The brain also has an important role in the control of appetite [160,161], including complex mechanisms based on energy function markers, but also on hedonic signals and memory [933][934][935]. Another factor related with food use is the control of stress caused by the imprecise availability of food, food security [8,936,937], which has not been yet made universal for humans, but which, from the 'human' perspective of MS (described in Section 1.1), the anxiety for obtaining the next meal is a condition relegated to the rest of animals, since human ingenuity has worked over thousands of years to close on this ultimate level of security. Unfortunately, the fight and strife between human groups has prevented, so far, a complete universalization of this primary objective.…”

This review focuses on the question of metabolic syndrome (MS) being a complex, but essentially monophyletic, galaxy of associated diseases/disorders, or just a syndrome of related but rather independent pathologies. The human nature of MS (its exceptionality in Nature and its close interdependence with human action and evolution) is presented and discussed. The text also describes the close interdependence of its components, with special emphasis on the description of their interrelations (including their syndromic development and recruitment), as well as their consequences upon energy handling and partition. The main theories on MS’s origin and development are presented in relation to hepatic steatosis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity, but encompass most of the MS components described so far. The differential effects of sex and its biological consequences are considered under the light of human social needs and evolution, which are also directly related to MS epidemiology, severity, and relations with senescence. The triggering and maintenance factors of MS are discussed, with especial emphasis on inflammation, a complex process affecting different levels of organization and which is a critical element for MS development. Inflammation is also related to the operation of connective tissue (including the adipose organ) and the widely studied and acknowledged influence of diet. The role of diet composition, including the transcendence of the anaplerotic maintenance of the Krebs cycle from dietary amino acid supply (and its timing), is developed in the context of testosterone and β-estradiol control of the insulin-glycaemia hepatic core system of carbohydrate-triacylglycerol energy handling. The high probability of MS acting as a unique complex biological control system (essentially monophyletic) is presented, together with additional perspectives/considerations on the treatment of this ‘very’ human disease.

“…Niewątpliwie za najistotniejszy należy uznać fakt, iż dzięki przemysłowi spożywczemu możliwe jest systematyczne dostarczanie na rynek produktów spożywczych w odpowiedniej ilości, jakości i asortymencie [55,57]. To z kolei wpisuje się w zjawisko bezpieczeństwa żywnościowego, rozumianego jako zapewnienie, że wszyscy ludzie przez cały czas mają zarówno fizyczny, jak i ekonomiczny dostęp do podstawowej żywności, której potrzebują [15]. Istotne jest także, że bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe stało się kategorią stojącą w opozycji do głodu utożsamianego z niedostatkiem czy ubóstwem [30].…”

Background. Food is a basic value for every human being and the food sector is the backbone of any economy. From the perspective of the individual consumer and society, food and proper nutrition affect body immunity, life expectancy or ability to live on a daily basis. They are also values that constitute a sense of broader physical and psychological security and human dignity. Unfortunately, food has also long been used as a weapon against enemies, resulting in a threat to food safety and food security. This is par ticularly evident in the war that continues in Ukraine. Given the fact that Russia has been considered a terrorist state, it is interesting to look at the phenomenon of its terrorist activities against food and the food chain. The purpose of this article is to present this phenomenon with particular attention to the situation in Ukraine. The purpose stems from the research hypothesis, which is as follows: Typical acts of food terror ism occur in Ukraine. The study used a critical analysis of the literature, a critical analysis of reports pub lished in the media (the press, Internet portals), an analysis of databases maintained by recognized agen cies dealing with terrorism, as well as the method of synthesis and logical inference. Results and conclusions. The article describes the phenomenon of food terrorism and its manifesta tions during Russia's aggression against Ukraine. Various definitions of food terrorism were presented, its varieties were distinguished and selected examples of its occurrence were indicated. A proposal was also made to include hunger terrorism in the category of food terrorism, recalling the events of the Holodomor in Ukraine in 1932-1933.
