Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Kay L M White"
- Kay L M White's recent research primarily focuses on the assessment of deoxynivalenol (DON), a toxic fungal metabolite found in cereals, and its impacts on human health, particularly in vulnerable populations such as the elderly and pregnant women.
- A significant portion of her work involves biomonitoring urinary concentrations of DON and its metabolites to establish exposure levels and their correlation with dietary intake in various cohorts across the UK and Europe.
- White's studies also explore the relationship between maternal behaviors, such as alcohol and caffeine consumption during pregnancy, and adverse birth outcomes, contributing valuable insights into environmental and dietary factors affecting maternal and child health.
