Are These Dangerous Chemical Additives in Your Food?

in #cooking7 years ago

More than 10,000 additives are allowed in food! Here are some of the ones you should definitely try to avoid.

The EWG (Environmental Working Group) is a non-profit that seeks to alert the public about health risks while also working to change the bad public policies that allow such things.

Better to know what the problematic additives are, so you can read food labels and make informed shopping choices. You can check those additives at the EWG site.

Well, are they really dangerous?! Just as an example the girlfriend of my father is eating unhealthy food(with lots of so-called "dangerous additives"), is smoking...and so on. She´s 78 now an is very healthy. My father did nothing wrong, eat healthy food(well most of the time, without all the chemicals inside..) is not smoking and has a rare disease. A bit off the topic but I think that the big companies try to make lots of money out of it with the so-called "BIO FOOD", it´s sad but it´s just the way it is.

Yes, there are ironies like that, arent there?
To me, it illustrates the remarkable resilience of the human body. We can punish it and sometimes it takes it all without caving in.

Yes, that´s true. Actually, it´s quite interesting. I´m in Germany for the moment, and I noticed that some shops have warning signs about the sausage. I think the WHO launched an article recently that they could trigger diseases such as cancer. I´m assuming that there will be warning signs similar to cigarettes in the near future ;)haha ...

The more you learn about sausages (and preserved meats in general), the more wary you become.

I read a funny sign years ago. "Those who like sausages and respect the law should not watch either of them being made."
