with food additives and common consumer product chemicals in more realistic doses after long term exposure. If the hypothesis of
an increased risk or even a new hazard not currently identified from cumulative exposure to multiple chemicals were shown to be
true, this will provide further information to public authorities and research communities supporting the effort to replace today’s
single-compound risk assessment with a more robust cumulative risk assessment paradigm. Taking into consideration most recent
aspects for risk assessment of individuals, where exposure assessment is personalized, we can realize the grounds and causation of the
incomprehensible and hazy picture we face in our toxicology evaluations and the timely disagreement in facts among governmental
and other international and authorial regulatory organizations throughout the world. It is a fact that as we expand the sphere of our
knowledge in general we simultaneously expand the borders of our knowledge with ignorance. Being highly respectable to Socrates
I suggest that the above sentence takes a step forward and clarifies for the public the deep meaning of the Socrates statement “I know
nothing except the fact of my ignorance’’.
