“…HCB was found in all organisms and its concentrations ranged from 0.98 to 10.5 ng g À1 ww in muscle, which were higher than those in another study (Jiang et al, 2005). The accumulation process for HCB was different in different species (p < 0.05).…”

“…Fresh-water fish have been found to be contaminated with methyl mercury, organochlorines, and other chemicals in China (Hou et al, 1988;Nakata et al, 2002). Evidence that organochlorines are present in seafood is also available (Jiang et al, 2005). Several studies conducted in Shanghai, including this one, have consistently found that fish intake is related to an increased risk of several cancers, including cancers of breast, endometrium, and colorectum (Shu et al, 1993;Guo et al, 1994;Dai et al, 2002;Chiu et al, 2003), suggesting that water pollution may be involved in the aetiology of these cancers.…”

Animal food intake and cooking methods in relation to endometrial cancer risk in Shanghai

We evaluated animal food intake and cooking methods in relation to endometrial cancer risk in a population-based case -control study in Shanghai, China. A validated food frequency questionnaire was used to collect the usual dietary habits of 1204 cases and 1212 controls aged 30 -69 years between 1997 and 2003. Statistical analyses were based on an unconditional logistic regression model adjusting for potential confounders. High intake of meat and fish was associated with an increased risk of endometrial cancer, with adjusted odds ratios for the highest vs the lowest quartile groups being 1.7 (95% confidence interval: 1.3 -2.2) and 2.4 (1.8 -3.1), respectively. The elevated risk was observed for all types of meat and fish intake. Intake of eggs and milk was not related to risk. Cooking methods and doneness levels for meat and fish were not associated with risk, nor did they modify the association with meat and fish consumption. Our study suggests that animal food consumption may play an important role in the aetiology of endometrial cancer, but cooking methods have minimal influence on risk among Chinese women.

“…Jiang et al (2005) estimated that people who lived in coastal area of China would eat 105 g fish and crayfish per day. Since the consumption of fish in Tibet is less than that of coastal areas, so the average daily consumption was set to 80 g. The average adult body weights assumed to be 55.9 kg.…”

Fish is consumed as a common food by humans due to its nutritional and therapeutic benefits. However, they can accumulate toxic chemicals (such as heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants) from water and food chain. Very few studies have been investigated on heavy metal contents in fish from Tibetan Autonomous Region of China. In order to study heavy metals levels in fish from aquaculture farms and evaluate the risk that human consume fish in this area, we collected four types of aquaculture fish species (6 big-head carps, 5 grass carps, 5 carps and 5 tilapias) from fisheries around Lhasa city in this study. 9 heavy metals (Cr, As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Ba, Co, Mn and V) in different tissues of fish were determined by an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer. Cr, Ba, Co, Mn and V could easily accumulate in the gill, and Cu was detected in the hearts of all the fishes. Toxic metal (As, Cd and Pb) contents were higher in the liver than those in other tissues, heavy metal levels were the lowest in the muscle among all tissues. Most of heavy metal concentrations in the tilapia tissues were higher than those in other fish tissues, especially arsenic. Arsenic content in the tilapia samples was *2-4 times higher than the maximum levels (MLs) of contaminants in the national standard, and other metals were all lower than the MLs. Compared the estimated daily intake of heavy metals through fish consumption with tolerable daily intakes recommended by FAO, the metals daily intake of As, Cd and Pb from fish consumption might not pose serious health risk to the local inhabitants. It is therefore necessary to determine the dose level for human, which is considered to be taken daily over a lifetime without adverse effects.
