Abstract
The present research work is entitled "Relationship between information deprivation on food security and health risks during food consumption in the population of Piura (2018)." The report has been made due to the growing statistics of coronary metabolic diseases that are registered in Peru, and especially Piura, due to the deficient patterns of food consumption. It is for this reason that the perception of the risk that consumers have about food and the knowledge associated with the potential danger of developing diseases was analyzed.
Another of the justifying reasons for the development of this report is the scarce coverage of the media on food security, considering that more than fifty percent of the causes of death in Peru are due to diabetes and cardiovascular afflictions.
This thesis should take into account some fundamental principles such as innocuity, consumer trends, theories about cognitive deficit, risk communication, the rate of scientific literacy, the manipulation of neurointelligence in the labeling of food packaging as a means of confusion to the consumer for the adequate nutritional information interpretation of the food; coinciding with the proposal of the "Public Understanding of Science" the need of citizenship to have a wide range of understanding of terms and constructs sufficient to understand a significant number of events in daily life, including reading and understanding the label of a food package.
The methodology applied was observation; To take a close look at the most common and frequent eating habits of the Piura population during their visits to the main supermarkets in the city. Correlatively, a questionnaire was executed by means of a "survey" file to contrast the similarity between what was observed and what was answered in the interviews. Finally, in order to demonstrate the omissions on nutritional information in food labels, a metabolic analysis has been applied by high efficiency liquid chromatography to quantify the metabolites with genotoxic potential not declared in the foods sold by the companies.
