Food additives

Processed food contains additives such as phosphate ,sodium citrate ,monosodium glutamate and much more flavor and texture enhancers. 300 additives are available in the market,people love packaged food so they buy it ignoring what is exactly inside.

Food is prepared most of the time in labs in order to create recipes with proper texture,color and consistency.Industrials prefer to pay less for their ingredients and focus more on providing an end product that resembles the most traditional recipes with the perfect combination of additives. They will no longer need to use original ingredients such as eggs,oil and milk and will replace them with water and additives.

Artificial flavors do trick consumers . Nitrites are present in luncheon meats to preserve color and texture . The problem is that preservatives harm the body and increase the incidence of asthma,eczema and some type of cancer. Nitrites in the body will transform into carcinogenic substances. Nowadays industries are doing their best to prepare meals with natural preservatives such as lemon to provide consumers with wholesome food. A healthy product has an ingredient list with recognizable names which means that there is no chemicals to preserve the food.
