Event Overview:
“Cannabis has been reportedly used for thousands of years for a wide range of ailments. The cannabis plant produces more than 100 cannabinoids, with the main one, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, known as THC, producing psychoactive effects. However, there is increasing interest in another of the cannabinoids, cannabidiol (CBD), which shares the same molecular formula as THC but has different chemical properties.
With CBD now being available in a wide range of products, it is important to understand its safety as a novel food – foods which have not had a significant history of human consumption. A recent and pivotal report by the Food Standards Agency (FSA) in the UK has established a new safe limit for CBD consumption of 10 mg per day. The report also states there is evidence for intake above this level, and over a period of time, to have adverse impacts on the liver and thyroid.
In this hour-long webinar we will delve into the evolving landscape of CBD integration in food products. We’ll clarify the reasoning behind the new FSA guidelines, gain insights into the endocannabinoid system to understand how CBD interacts with the body and explore the current research on its potential therapeutic applications.”
