Document Summary
This lecture overlaps with next lecture on food and food borne diseases , because they both have same agents, bacteria, viruses. These can be considered as biological hazards but also they can found in food substances, and cause food borne hazards. Biological hazards can be nontransmissible (cannot be transferred from one human to another human). Examples of such nontransmissible diseases include: cardiovascular, cancer, diabetes, asthma. These are diseases related to heart as a result of food (high cholesterol), lack of exercise, lots of stress, smoking, etc. Cancer has many different causes (we cannot specify just one cause for it). Every cancer is caused with many different agents (environmental, genetical, etc. ). There is no strong proof that these diseases can be transferred from human to human. Diabetes can be caused because of genetics, food, and obesity. There is no strong evidence that diabetes can be transferred from human to human. Asthma is closely related with some allergens (something in our environment).
