Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding food-medicine dual-purpose substances among adults in China: a cross-sectional online survey
The findings indicate that adult residents in China who have substantial knowledge of FMS are not optimistic; however, they express positive attitudes toward knowing and consuming FMS, and there is a high need for labeling and a high demand for consumption. It is imperative to enhance research and policy development regarding FMS, to actively promote FMS knowledge, and to guide residents towards a more scientific and rational consumption of FMS in the future.
