A new type of problem for human beings is emerging from the burgeoning use of dietary intake of inorganic elements and organic nutrients can markedly influence the toxicity of each element. Effects of diet on responses to excess metal intake are discussed. Nutritional factors pertinent to metal toxicity in people are assessed. The design of animal models to assess problems of excess metal intake are discussed. Nutritional factors pertinent to metal toxicity in people are assessed. The design of animal models to assess problems of excess metal intake by humans is considered. Experimental diets for establishing baseline responses to excess elements should be formulated.
