During the past decade, the number of television receivers per home has skyrocketed, with many children each having a TV set in their bedroom. Through cable and satellite access, families have a choice of a hundred or more channels, most broadcasting twenty-four hours a day. The videotape recorder has enabled viewers to delay watching or to rewatch television programs at any time and thereby shift the traditional viewing hours to virtually any time of the day. The research studies directed at these phenomena have confirmed, however, that little effect has been seen in children’s viewing habits. There was simply more of the same programming fare and it was available through a broader time frame. The distribution of television sets into various areas of the home and the less traditional hours of availability have, if anything, reduced the opportunities for parental coviewing and control. The V-chip was predicted to enhance the ability of parents to exercise such control, but appears to have been a failure with many parents not even aware of the existence of such a device.

This reference work provides comprehensive information about the bioactive molecules presented in our daily food and their effect on the physical and mental state of our body. Although the concept of functional food is new, the consumption of selected food to attain a specific effect existed already in ancient civilizations, namely of China and India. Consumers are now more attentive to food quality, safety and health benefits, and the food industry is led to develop processed- and packaged-food, particularly in terms of calories, quality, nutritional value and bioactive molecules. This book covers the entire range of bioactive molecules presented in daily food, such as carbohydrates, protei...
