How Do Food Additives Affect Your Health?
There are thousands of harmful food additives that we are consuming every day. Many of these food additives have been shown to do harm to our health.
In 1958 the government passed the Delaney Clause Food Additives Amendment which prohibited companies from adding known harmful chemicals to our food. But in spite of this, there are still dangerous chemicals that are still being added to our food and it is important to understand which chemicals these are and what the potential dangers are.
The only defense we have as consumers is that all packaged food is required to list all the ingredients (配料) on the label. We need to educate ourselves and become familiar with the harmful food additives and read every label of the food we purchase. The challenge however, is that food companies tend to make finding these suspicious ingredients somewhat dull, hiding them in hard-to-find areas of the package and making the print extremely small so as to discourage their discovery.
The names of these chemicals themselves can complicate matters. These chemical names are long and foreign-sounding and people typically skip over them because they are dull to try and read. The food producers are clever. They will make intentional use of healthy-sounding phrases to trick people into thinking that the product is free of chemical additives. For instance, “Natural Flavors” or “No Preservatives” are commonly found on packaged food products, but does this mean that the product is free of harmful food additives? Absolutely not. Again, you must check all the ingredients to determine whether a product is completely free of food additives.
Here is a helpful tip that relies on basic common sense. If you are reading the ingredient list and you find it is long and loaded with long words that you are unfamiliar with, guess what? This product almost assuredly has plenty of chemical food additives.
And here is a list of six food additives that you should definitely try and avoid. This is not an exhaustive list, however, these food additives have been linked to health concerns and harmful side effects. Sodium Nitrate
Found primarily in lunch meat and hotdogs, this is a preservative and has been linked to cancer. BHA and BHT
They are used as a preservative. You can find them in things like chips, cereals and even chewing gum. They are known to oxidize (氧化) the cells and cell oxidation is the precursor to cancer. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
MSG is one of the more well-known food additives and is primarily used as a flavor-enhancer (增味剂). Much of the restaurant food we consume is flavored with MSG. This food additive can cause reactions in some people such as headaches and nausea. Trans Fats
Trans-fats are proven to be the cause of heart disease. Restaurant food, especially fast food chains, often serves foods full of trans-fats. Aspartame
Aspartame is a sweetener and is also known as NutraSweet. The brand of sweetener called Equal is also aspartame. This food additive has been linked to cancer and neurological problems. Food Colorings
Food colorings are basically just a form of paint. They can liven up the walls in your living room but should definitely be avoided in food. Blue 1 and 2, found in beverages, candy, baked goods and pet food, have been linked to cancer in lab animals. Red 3, has been shown to cause thyroid tumors in rats. Green 3 has been linked to bladder
cancer. Yellow 6 has been linked to tumors of the adrenal gland and kidney.
