Peaceful Coexistence With Additives

The original intent of food additives is to improve the quality, color and flavor of food, as well as to facilitate processing, which is conducive to anti-corrosion, etc. Food additives are things that are added for the sake of food safety and quality. If this is not clear, the concept is completely wrong. Because many people think that plasticizers are food additives, while melamine and Sudan red are food additives, but in fact they are not food additives at all.

How do chemicals change food quality, color, and fragrance? There are 22 categories of food additives. They have different meanings and functions. For example, pigments, the color will change immediately after being added to food. Substances like fragrance are actually simulating natural It is extracted from substances, or combined together. The main problem now is abuse, or the use of things that the country does not permit and should not be added to food at all. So these are two problems of nature. For this reason, it is a bit biased to think that food additives are poisons.

But I personally do not support foods with too many food additives, do not eat them, because these foods, even if the additives are not excessive, generally have low nutritional value. I will take the initiative to choose less additives. At the same time, the government implements strict management, do not add where it should not be added, and absolutely do not add the wrong variety, scope, and amount. Our safety can still be guaranteed, and we can still coexist peacefully with additives.
