at the supermarket, we could always see this kind of publicity:
"soft enough to弹起来. "
" such as a smooth as silk. "
" unparalleled and crisp. "
consumers for those wonderful taste of the conquest, so pleased to buy. In fact, these foods taste wonderful, without exception, from food additives. Whether it is sweet and sour candy, snack food flavor, or the cookies crisp and soft, cake, food additives are a masterpiece. Consumer's taste buds, embrace the rich flavor; consumer's eyes, to recover with the beauty of the pigment; consumer's teeth, to appreciate the effect brought about by the cool crisp butter.
However, there are some foods such publicity:
"This product does not contain preservatives. "
" This product contains no artificial coloring. "
" This product does not contain fragrance. "
... ...
consumers move their heart, think they are more healthy, so pleased to buy. In fact, these foods do not contain preservatives, may not contain anti-oxidants; do not contain pigment, does not mean that it does not contain preservatives; does not contain fragrance, it does not mean do not contain thickeners and other additives.
In fact, large-scale modern food industry, is set up at a food additive on the foundation. Consumers because the appearance of the food quality, texture quality, convenience, save time made exacting demands, in order to home in accordance with the approach to production, is almost impossible. If you really do not add food additives, I am afraid that most of the food will be ugly, unpalatable, it is difficult to preserve, or the high price, consumers are not acceptable.
a lot of consumers do not think so, feel that manufacturers are deceptive additives harmful things. However, as long as the following to think about these facts, we can understand that consumers have a lack of responsibility.
why their own homes to be cut apple browning, and if the supermarkets do apple pears are brown do, but you refuse to buy, but those who want to choose white or light yellow products? If you select, that is forcing many producers to use anti-browning agent sulfite.
why their own homes will be browning the meat cooked, and if the sauce supermarket beef are pink, you are very enjoy, but also those who find it too brown hair color sauce beef? If you select, that is, to guide producers to use hair color agent nitrite.
know why there is no milk fruit aroma, and a few small pieces of fruit burns and can not bring the number of flavors, but those who enjoy the fruit with a strong scent of milk drinks and yogurt does?
Why do fried foods at home that would be cool slightly softened permeability, while the outside selling a lot of fried food place for a long time are so tall and straight and crisp, you will always Choose the most brittle of the fried food最爽it?
why their own bread at home would put half-harden hair do, and the supermarket a few days the bread will not do, you choose those most devoted to the most soft-song bread, a little reluctant to do that cares about you on this?
can be seen at the consumer decide which time of production, consumer choice determines the behavior of producers. To really avoid the substantial intake of food additives, the only way is to buy their food fresh natural raw materials, take some time, in accordance with the traditional way, hands-produced food Healthy Families.
home to do the benefits of fresh food, much more than just avoiding food additives. Fresh food can provide the best balance of nutrients, the largest health-care components, the most dietary fiber, can best promote the immune system - in short, a totally natural form of food raw materials for cooking at home, although the time and energy spent, but they can given full access to the health benefits of nature. If the blind pursuit of "convenience", "fast", is bound to be a part of the health characteristics of the expense. Since, natural health food ingredients, it is difficult to completely retained in the processing; the better characteristics of natural food, they can only hold a very short period of time, consumers should accept this basic fact.
if a person refuses to reduce the demands on food, but also refused to buy their own fresh food production and food additives can only be a peaceful coexistence.
in fact, the state permits the use of the overall safety of food additives is relatively high at normal usage will not cause adverse reactions. For processed foods is essential to a lot of food additives, such as low-salt soy sauce pickles and preservatives, instant noodles and a variety of cookies and other snacks in antioxidants, have to prevent the bread of长霉propionate, and so on . Without these food additives, it is difficult to imagine that food can have enough time to transport and sell, it is hard to imagine that consumers can be assured of food to eat.
However, even though each of the toxicity of food additives are very low, but if at excessive dietary intake, there are possible side effects brought about. At the same time, a variety of interactions between food additives, food components and their relationship with the relationship between the absorption and utilization is still not received detailed study. Therefore, the priority status consumption near natural food is still a wise choice, especially for physiological functions not yet fully mature children. For example, there is a lot of study abroad has been reported that children stay away from all kinds of processed foods, the many children of ADHD, inattention, learning disabilities, aggressive behavior have improved. Research has also found that synthetic pigment such as Tartrazine, such as would hinder the absorption of zinc, and crispy foods such as alum and hydrogenated vegetable oil raw materials is not conducive to intellectual development. In short, as far as possible, parents should not give children under two years of age any food containing additives, including the color of the candy, sweet drinks, and add MSG and alum of the puffed food.
of food additives, should be accepted calmly, sure that their food safety, taste and convenience of the contributions made, but consumers should avoid the excessive pursuit of texture, color, taste the errors in accepting the natural characteristics of food, attention to quality natural foods, so choose foods wisely. The most important thing is that through reflection on Food Additives of the problem, establish the correct selection and evaluation of the concept of food is no longer over-reliance on processed foods and fast foods, but cherish the natural flavor, grateful parents tirelessly family cooking three meals a day of production love, and put the health of the traditional heritage of the nation go on diet.
