"Toxic food Guinness" major fallacy-healthy recipes and snacks

milk powder incident, someone had put down all the "toxic food," said General together, into a "toxic food Guinness" at the Internet everywhere spread. After I have read that one of the references and a lot of our country laws and regulations, scientific theories and historical facts contrary, there is misleading. Here on the common misconception about the readers, do something easy to explain.

1 intentionally or unintentionally put "food coloring" and "industrial pigment" confused.

in fact, both are two concepts completely. National licensing qualified health inspection as long as the pigment, and dose, the scope of use, you can legally added to food products. Non-food coloring are absolutely should not add food products, and add that is illegal.

For example, sunset yellow, carmine, and caramel are permitted to use our country's food coloring, the majority of countries are used. For example, the color of cola is brought about substantial caramel; Endure糖葫芦make the color of sugar is naturally occurring caramel brought. Even though it might be better to eat more pigment, but there is no evidence to put the food coloring test qualified as toxic substances. Think there is a legend of Caramel toxic, contain lead arsenic mercury, it is said that the production technology used behind the failure of caramel products, does not mean that all the caramel product.

Sudan is different non-food coloring, like painted walls, draw with the dye, it is absolutely can not be used in food.

2 have the material itself must have toxicity, but the country as long as permission to use, broken down in the processing, food residue passes can still be legally used. Such as nitrite.

nitrite in meat products are all over the world of hair color to add agents and preservatives. It is toxic, superscalar add harmful, but can not be said to add its food is toxic food. Europe and the United States has so far produced ham sausage still want gaia nitrate, residual standard not lower than in our country. This is because, nitrite plays an irreplaceable role, for inhibiting Clostridium botulinum, for improving the flavor and color help. If you add a reasonable process, the vast majority of nitrite as a nitric oxide decomposition, the actual residues rarely. Are the most terrible disorder add, add.

3 some a small amount of additives used for the majority of people-friendly, but also for sensory quality of food is more important, the production process difficult to replace.

of sulfites The same is true of all countries in the world to use it as anti-browning agent. If you eat french fries without sulfite treatment, to make white or pale yellow color of French fries are unimaginable. If you drink imported wines, which are 100% add the sulfur dioxide, play a role in anti-corrosion. Without the add, can only result in decreased product quality. Civil fumigation with sulfur bleaching, and sulfite treatment rationale is just the same. Is often caused by sulfur dioxide fumigation seriously overweight, and residues of sulfite is more easily controlled.

people are not afraid of bleach sulfite, but吊白块(sub formaldehyde sodium bisulfate). This kind of thing does not belong to food additives, decomposition products of formaldehyde with carcinogenicity, it is absolutely can not be used for food.

4 year cause "大头娃娃" are toxic milk powder milk powder, that is wrong. Low nutritional value of milk for infants and young children are concerned, and toxic to the same terrible!

2004 years to kill a large number of baby's "poison milk powder" which, in fact, what toxins are not only sugar and dextrin too little protein content, resulting in protein infants died of malnutrition. Must remember that people died of malnutrition itself! Even today's melamine milk does not cause kidney stones and less protein will be effective because of the baby's chronic health hazards. What a lot of people said that "better nutrition and not to want security," are without any scientific common sense!

5 now popcorn is no longer the lead, but usually add hydrogenated vegetable oil, it is a grease, rather than food additives, but the health risk can not be ignored.

"poison popcorn," one said, not objective at all. Popcorn lead over the past many, because with the kind of small converter, small converter furnace in the lead, at high temperatures when there is heating up and evaporation of lead pollution popcorn. Is now widely used stainless steel pot, or microwave popcorn, there is no question of lead, not to mention toxic. Our child to eat popcorn than it is now also unsafe, so everyone does not come to eat? At that time no one questioned eat very incense.

now I dare not eat the popcorn, because there are often many add hydrogenated vegetable oil, fragrance also many people have to choke. Hydrogenated vegetable oils that allow popcorn more delicious ingredients, it is not additive, although not toxic, but extremely harmful to the heart!

6 several Ten years ago the egg contain substantial lead, but rarely now. "traditional crafts" is not necessarily more secure.

"poison egg" is actually the egg from the snacks! Over the past several hundred years of traditional crafts are used Huangdan powder (lead oxide) to produce egg. To do so by the egg, eating it will cause a day of lead intake exceeding, in the past that the U.S. is not afraid of none, I remember that a child has been very favorite of the egg. Now, after scientific research, has been fully replaced by iodine and other trace elements iron zinc lead the production of egg substitute, greatly enhanced security. Now how can we put the egg instead of the word "poison" to them?

7 foul tofu and a variety of fermented food, as long as the products produced with the scientific process, check that the safety and nutritional value is also high. How can not the word "poison" to them?

tofu is a very high nutritional value of food, processing in accordance with the National Science and Technology, its high content of vitamin B group, easily absorbed protein , also contains usually not vegetarian vitamin B12. Can not because there is a very small number of people with stinky tofu swill manufacturers, they一棍子打死such foods. If you buy this kind of stinky tofu, should first think about their own way to buy what is the formal product manufacturers? If any unlicensed stalls of fried tofu敢吃of all, I am afraid we do not really care about food safety are the people.

8 barbecue carcinogens in foods, this is a matter of common sense. However favorite barbecue is still very many people, why do not be afraid of fear of a barbecue food like milk does? It appears that this is a weakness of human nature.

fish barbecue food is indeed a general category containing carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzopyrene, as well as heterocyclic amines, such as overheating caused by protein carcinogens. However, around the barbecue is very popular shop, roadside lamb kebab is also booming. Are American people not to eat meat? Are residents of the northwest since ancient times not to eat lamb kebab? In fact, we can see people are not afraid of carcinogens.

Why? Since barbecues are happy to eat their own, people can accept the risk of their own choice, at least to these dangerous equanimity and restraint. Really love to eat things such as barbecue, whether it is fat or high cholesterol, or carcinogens exist or can not become a reason for not eating. Not so favorite things, such as milk, a little dangerous to just have a little drink. That is human nature ah!


postscript:

the founding of our country nearly 60 years, do not know how much had happened since food safety case. Just past the media developed, information is not free, people do not know, or because of poverty, the question of what security do not care. In a few decades ago, food production technology Low, relevant laws and regulations do not sound far less administrative measures to improve a patient's treatment and compensation enough for the product safety control with the current situation can not be compared. As the lives of Chinese people live, and now must be able to live better. The parties have attached great importance, there is the media and network supervision, China's food safety level would be rising. Expressing their anger at what someone said of the Chinese nation, such as suicidal over it, there is are unable to agree!

as a science or popular science workers, even on the health of the network are writers, it should be for residents to know how to live a healthy lifestyle, how complex environment to find food they eat, rather than set out a number of case to frighten them and allow them to more panic, nothing敢吃, and finally result in nutritional imbalance, the results are even more harm to people's health.

have physical and mental health of the nationals of the country can become prosperous and strong foundation. There is scientific and rational people, the state only healthy development. Better at the dawn of the National Day, let us, together with scientific attitudes and the spirit of being responsible for the promotion of the health of all people to strive.

(want to know after someone saw abuse, but also to write scolded. because in truth there, looking at the facts have been distorted to follow the trend did not say common sense would think that conscience disturbed. hawkers who will give me popcorn what? those who make small egg plant and there is my constituency? mentioned above will give me the benefits of the kinds of products? If in doubt, go visit it.)
