    ammonium sulfate can be found inside many brands of bread, including Subways. The chemical

    provides nitrogen for the yeast, creating a more consistent product.

    The anal glands of a beaver, conveniently euphemized as castoreum, are a common ingredient in

    perfumes and colognes but are also sometimes used to believe it or not enhance the flavor

    of raspberry candies and sweets.

    After killing thousands at a time, the dried insects are boiled to produce a liquid solution that can

    be turned to a dye using a variety of treatments. Some people worry that the coloring often

    called carmine or carminic acid could be listed as a natural color, disguising the fact that there

    are bugs in the product.

    You know that shiny coating on candies like Skittles? Or the sprinkles on cupcakes and ice cream

    sundaes? Well, they get that glaze from the secretions of the female lac beetle. The substance is

    also known as shellac and commonly used as a wood varnish.

    The oils inside sheeps wool are collected to create the goopy substance called lanolin. From there,

    it ends up in chewing gum (sometimes under the guise of gum base), but also is used to create

    vitamin D3 supplements.

    Whats in your morning bagel? If you get it from Noahs Bagels, it contains either human hair orduck feathers, and its your guess as to which. The substance, called L-cysteine or cystine, is used

    as a dough conditioner to produce a specific consistency. While artificial cysteine is available, itis cost prohibitive and mostly used to create kosher and halal products.

    Coal tar is listed as number 199 on the United Nations list of dangerous goods, but that doesnt

    stop people from using it in food. The coloring Allura Red AC is derived from coal tar and iscommonly found in red-colored candies, sodas and other sweets.

    In the UK, all cheeses are labeled as either suitable or not suitable for vegetarians because in

    Britain and everywhere else many cheeses are made using rennet, which is the fourth

    stomach of a young cow. In the United States and most other countries, people are left to guess

    about the stomach-content of their cheese.

    Sand is hidden in Wendys chili as a name you might remember from high school chemistry class:

    silicon dioxide. Apparently they use sand as an anti-caking agent, perhaps to make sure the chili

    can last for days and days over a heater.

    A typical artificial strawberry flavor, like the kind found in a Burger King strawberry

    milk shake, contains the following ingredients: amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, amyl

    valerate, anethol, anisyl formate, benzyl acetate, benzyl isobutyrate, butyric acid,

    cinnamyl isobutyrate, cinnamyl valerate, cognac essential oil, diacetyl, dipropyl ketone,

    ethyl acetate, ethyl amyl ketone, ethyl butyrate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl heptanoate, ethyl

    heptylate, ethyl lactate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate, ethyl nitrate, ethyl propionate,ethyl valerate, heliotropin, hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone (10 percent solution in alcohol),

    a-ionone, isobutyl anthranilate, isobutyl butyrate, lemon essential oil, maltol, 4-

    methylacetophenone, methyl anthranilate, methyl benzoate, methyl cinnamate, methyl

    heptine carbonate, methyl naphthyl ketone, methyl salicylate, mint essential oil, neroli

    essential oil, nerolin, neryl isobutyrate, orris butter, phenethyl alcohol, rose, rum ether,

    g-undecalactone, vanillin, and solvent.

    Ethyl-2-methyl butyrate, for example, smells just like an apple. Many of today's highly

    processed foods offer a blank palette: whatever chemicals are added to them will give

    them specific tastes. Adding methyl-2-pyridyl ketone makes something taste likepopcorn. Adding ethyl-3-hydroxy butanoate makes it taste like marshmallow. The

    possibilities are now almost limitless. Without affecting appearance or nutritional value,

    processed foods could be made with aroma chemicals such as hexanal (the smell of

    freshly cut grass) or 3-methyl butanoic acid (the smell of body odor).

    Distinctions between artificial and natural flavors can be arbitrary and somewhat absurd,

    based more on how the flavor has been made than on what it actually contains.

    "A natural flavor," says Terry Acree, a professor of food science at Cornell University,"is a flavor that's been derived with an out-of-date technology." Natural flavors and

    artificial flavors sometimes contain exactly the same chemicals, produced through

    different methods. Amyl acetate, for example, provides the dominant note of banana

    flavor. When it is distilled from bananas with a solvent, amyl acetate is a natural flavor.

    When it is produced by mixing vinegar with amyl alcohol and adding sulfuric acid as a

    catalyst, amyl acetate is an artificial flavor. Either way it smells and tastes the same.

    A natural flavor is not necessarily more healthful or purer than an artificial one. When

    almond flavor -- benzaldehyde -- is derived from natural sources, such as peach and

    apricot pits, it contains traces of hydrogen cyanide, a deadly poison. Benzaldehyde

    derived by mixing oil of clove and amyl acetate does not contain any cyanide.

    Nevertheless, it is legally considered an artificial flavor and sells at a much lower price.

    Natural and artificial flavors are now manufactured at the same chemical plants, places

    that few people would associate with Mother Nature.

    Cochineal extract (also known as carmine or carminic acid) is made from the desiccated

    bodies of female Dactylopius coccus Costa, a small insect harvested mainly in Peru and

    the Canary Islands. The bug feeds on red cactus berries, and color from the berries

    accumulates in the females and their unhatched larvae. The insects are collected, dried,

    and ground into a pigment. It takes about 70,000 of them to produce a pound of carmine,

    which is used to make processed foods look pink, red, or purple. Dannon strawberryyogurt gets its color from carmine, and so do many frozen fruit bars, candies, and fruit

    fillings, and Ocean Spray pink-grapefruit juice drink.

    Eric Schlosser is a correspondent for The Atlantic. His article in this issue is adapted

    from his first book, Fast Food Nation, to be published this month by Houghton Mifflin.

    Propyl gallate is another preservative-often used together with BHA and BHT. It can be foundin some meat products, chicken soup base, and chewing gum. Animal studies have linkedpropyl gallate to cancer.

    Animal testing has linked all of these commonly used colorings to cancer. Blue 1 and 2 can befound in beverages, candy, baked goods, and pet food.

    Red 3 is used to dye cherries, and can be found in fruit cocktail, candy, and baked products.Laboratory studies have shown that red 3 causes thyroid tumors in rats.

    Green 3 has been linked to bladder cancer; it is used in candy and beverages. Yellow 6 hasbeen linked to tumors of the adrenal gland and kidney. It is used in beverages, sausage,gelatin, candy, and baked goods.

    Potassium bromate is used to increase the volume in white flour, breads, and rolls. It isknown to cause cancer in animals. Even a small amount potassium bromate can be risky forhumans.

    The guar plant, also known as a cluster plant, grows primarily in Pakistan and the northern regions of India. Itthrives on thedrought/monsoon cycles present in those areas. The plants are harvested after the monsoonseason and the seeds are allowed to dry in the sun. The seeds are then manually or mechanically separatedand processed into a flour or sold as split seeds.

    The use of guar gum as an ingredient in non-prescription diet aids was officially banned in the early 1990s bytheFDA. The guar gum would bind with liquids in the stomach and swell, causing a feeling of satisfying fullness.However, this mass of swollen guar gum would also cause dangerous intestinal and duodenal blockages. Guargum was declared unsafe and ineffective for use as a non-prescription diet aid, although it is still used in smallamounts as a food thickener and binder.

    Artificial foods have negative effects on the body.

    The composition and molecular structure of food determines how the digestive system breaks it down. For artificial ingredients, the digestive systemmust work excessively harder just to try to digest, absorb the nutrients (which are non-existent), and then eliminate them from the body. This is thepurpose of the digestive system. When the body is fueled with artificial ingredients, it makes one tired, sluggish and in many cases-sick. Once the gut

    becomes less efficient, the bodys other systems become effected as well.According to Puristat Digestive Wellness Center, a distributor of all-natural digestive health supplementation, there are nearly six thousand additivesand chemicals used in the manufacturing of processed foods.

    If your gut could speak it could possibly tell you what lies ahead if you continue to eat processed foods laden with artificial ingredients - headaches,stomach aches, inflammation and pain of the joints, constipation, diarrhea, flatulence, bloating, skin problems, hair loss, intestinal bleeding, sickness,pain, hospitalizations, digestive disorders, surgery, reduced life span, and possibly death.

    TBHQ is a petroleum based product that contains butane.The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandates that TBHQ cannot exceed 0.02 percent of its oil and fatcontent. Death can occur when someone ingests as little as 5 grams. A single gram of TBHQ can causevomiting, nausea, delirium, ringing in the ears, sense of suffocation and collapse.

    Here are a few ingredients in a McDonalds hamburger bun. I am sure it isntonly McDonalds hamburger buns either; you can find these chemicals in manyof our every day processed food products [2].

    Ammonium sulfate According to the Materials Safety Data Sheet this stuff is harmful if swallowed

    Calcium carbonate Antacid with several side effects

    Sodium propionate Is used in bakery products as a mold inhibitor

    Calcium sulfate Pigment in white paint, soil conditioner and also known as Plaster of Paris

    Ammonium chloride Causes irritation to the gastrointestinal tract

    What happened to real food? For a comparison I went to the Great Harvest bakery and looked at the ingredients

    in a loaf of their bread, the five ingredients are:

    Fresh-ground whole wheat flour

    Water

    Fresh yeast

    Salt

    Honey (usually local honey)

    chicken nuggets, the ingredients include corn starch, yellow corn flour and corn oil. In addition to the corn fillersthere are two soy products in the ingredients, soybean oil and hydrogenated soybean oil. Soybeans are alsomostly GMO. Half of these chicken nuggets are chicken and the rest is weird fillers and chemicals

    Some of the ingredients in our food I looked at are also listed on Drugs.com. Ifound these ingredients in popular processed foods like pizza rolls, macaroniand cheese, non-dairy creamer, breads and buns.

    Aspartame is an artificial sweetener with at least 90 health related problems associated with it.

    Medium chain triglycerides is for dietary use in people who cannot digest food properly like gluten or

    lactose intolerance [5].

    Sodium tripolyphosphate is mainly used in soap and dishwasher detergents, in food it is used as a

    preservative.

    Ferrous sulfate is iron and listed on Drugs.com as a drug to treat people with anemia

    Sodium aluminum phosphate is listed as a pesticide among its many uses

    Titanium dioxide is bits of titanium and is used in cosmetics and sunscreen. In food it is used to whiten

    products and artificial coloring and is now classified as a possible cancer causing carcinogen to humans

    [6].

    Ammonium sulfate is used as nitrogen for yeast in bread and bun products, it is also used in fertilizer.

    Sodium erythorbate is a chemical variation of vitamin C with general side effects listed as dizziness,

    fatigue, headache and flushing.

    Guar gum can cause temporary digestive problems.

    Sodium aluminum sulfate is a leavening agent also used for waterproofing materials.

    Sodium metabisulfite can cause dangerous health problems in those with allergies or asthma. And it

    goes by other names like Disodium Salt Pyrosulfurous Acid and Disodium disulfite.

    Sodium Benzoate can turn into benzene, which is a carcinogen.

    BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) is a known carcinogen

    Olestra can be found in some foods labeled light and has nasty stomach side effects like diarrhea and

    cramps.

    Tartrazine or FD&C Yellow # 5 is a food coloring is associated with numerous health problems including

    suppressing the immune system and has been banned in Europe.

    FD&C Red Dye #3 or erythrosine is a known to cause cancer and behavioral problems in children.

    Other synthetic food colors include blue 1, blue 2, green 3, red 40 and yellow 6 all cause health

    problems and could be banned soon.

    Processed Food and Health Problems

    Food allergies, food intolerances, IBS, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome and ADHD

    are health problems that have increased dramatically. Could this be a result of all the chemicals in processed

    food.

    Obesity continues to increase. Hidden sugars, hidden carbs and chemicals of all kinds are in most of our foods

    today. Could these synthetically made processed foods be part of the problem, is there something with all of

    these chemicals that causes weight gain or overeating.

    Sodium Benzoate and Potassium BenzoateThese preservatives are sometimes added to soda to prevent mold from growing, but benzene is a knowncarcinogen that is also linked with serious thyroid damage. Dangerous levels of benzene can build up whenplastic bottles of soda are exposed to heat or when the preservatives are combined with ascorbic acid(vitamin C). Dont risk it, people

    7. Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA)

    BHA is another potentially cancer-causing preservative, but it has been deemed safe by the FDA. Its job is

    to help prevent spoilage and food poisoning, but its a major endocrine disruptor and can seriously mess

    with your hormones. BHA is in HUNDREDS of foods. Its also found in food packaging and cosmetics. BHA

    has many aliases. You can look them up. Or you can follow my advice and DITCH processed foods

    altogether.

    8. Sodium Nitrates and Sodium Nitrites

    No thats not a typo. These two different preservatives are found in processed meats like bacon, lunch

    When milk is ultra-pasteurized, it kills the enzymes available in fresh, raw milk,that allow your body to benefit from the nutrients, thus eliminating the benefit ofwholesome milk.

    The ultra-pasteurization process may cause the formation of processed freeglutamic acid, which has the same effect on the body as MSG. In other words,this is a source of hidden MSG.

    However, canola oil becomes rancid easily. Baked goods made with canola oilbecome moldy quickly.Originally canola oil was hybridized rapeseed oil. Now most is genetically engineered (GE). You cant even

    say that organic canola oil is not GE because of all the cross contamination that occurs with GE crops

    growing near non-GE crops.

    Canola oil is processed at extremely high temperatures refined, bleached, degummed and deodorized. It

    may be contaminated with solvents used for extraction.

    Much of the canola oil used in processed foods is partially hydrogenated. So it will contain trans fats.

    Canola oil has been shown to

    deplete the bodys stores of vitamin E

    cause heart problems

    cause abnormal changes in blood platelets

    retard growth

    shorten the life span of lab animals.

    FD&C stands for Food, Drugs & Cosmetics. These colors are approved by theFDA to be used in Food, Drugs & Cosmetics. They are artificial colors. Most are

    derived from coal tar, a petrochemical which is known to cause cancer.Now, while the FD&C colors themselves may not be known to cause cancer, many are potentialcarcinogens or may be contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals.

    FD&C Colors are certified by the FDA to not contain more than 10 parts per million (ppm) of lead and

    arsenic, both of which are poisonous to the human body. The FDA does not address any other harmful

    effects these colors may have on human health.

    Sometimes you will just see ingredients like Red 40 or Yellow No. 5. Theyre still FD&C colors. Any time

    you see a color with a number on a food package, its an FD&C color.

    Times have changed!

    Today, most food comes in a box, bottle, bag or can. Its had most of the nutrients processed out.A few synthetic chemical vitamins are added to make you think youre getting some nutrition.

    Then its bleached, deodorized and preserved so it can sit on a grocery store shelf for three yearsand still taste fresh when you buy it. Frequently it contains a long list of chemical ingredients that

    youd never find in your kitchen.

    How are you supposed to know whether its healthy or not?

    This is where knowing about food additive safety comes in. Food manufacturers are not going totell you the truth about the additives they put in your food. Neither is the FDA. You have to get it

    produce.Even though the Delaney Clause of the 1958 Food Additives Amendmentstates that...

    "No additive shall be deemed to be safe if it is found to induce cancer when ingested by

    man or laboratory animals or if it is found, after tests which are appropriate for the

    evaluation of the safety of food additives, to induce cancer in man or animals,

    cancer-causing ingredients can still be added because

    Food additives in use prior to the Delaney Clause are classified as Generally Recognized

    As Safe orGRAS. They are not required to be tested to determine if they really are safe!These include additives like sodium nitrite and BHA. The International Agency for

    Research on Cancer (IARC) says thatnitrites and nitrates probably cause cancer,and BHA possibly causes cancer. Nitrites are used in most processed meats because

    they prevent botulism. BHA is frequently used as a preservative in processed foods.

    In 1962, an amendment, the DES Proviso, was added to the Delaney Clause which

    permitted the use of carcinogenic compounds as animal-feed additives andveterinary drugs as long as no residue of the additive shall be found by methods

    approved by the Secretary by regulation in any edible portion of the animals afterslaughter or in any food such as milk or eggs yielded by or derived from living

    animals.

    No residue is defined as meeting a negligible-risk standard. It does not require zeroresidue of cancer-causing substances.

    Pesticides, which were originally included in the Delaney Clause, were removed in 1996 by

    the Food Quality Protection Act which

    instead instituted a general safe standard of a reasonable certainty of no harm to

    consumers.

    This very vague definition allows pesticides to be used that would not be permittedunder the Delaney Clause.

    "I loved your little book. Its contents are excellent.... I will use it myself as areference."-Bruce West, D.C., Author of HEALTH ALERT newsletter

    If you buy processed food, there is very high likelihood that there are cancer-causing ingredients

    in it.Do you eat any of the following processed meats?

    Bacon

    Ham

    Sausage

    Hot dogs

    Pepperoni

    Salami

    Pastrami

    Bologna

    Deli meats, like chicken, turkey, roast beef

    Most processed meats, unless you buy organic and nitrite-free, contain nitrates or nitrites. Asstated in the bullet above, these are chemicals that are classified as probable carcinogens by the

    International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). They probably cause cancer.

    Are you feeding those meats to your children?

    The incidence of childhood cancer is on the rise. Even if your children dont get cancer whiletheyre young, feeding them food with cancer-causing ingredients in them now can increase their

    chances of getting cancer at some later time in their life.

    Other Cancer-Causing Ingredients You Might Find In Your Food

    BHA, as stated in the bullets above, is a preservative that IARC classifies as a possible

    carcinogen; it possibly causes cancer. It may be used to preserve foods, like cereal, that come in a

    box, or it may be sprayed on the packaging instead. Either way it should be avoided.

    Potassium bromateis in brominated flour, often found in bread. Its classified as a possiblecarcinogen. Most countries in the world have banned this ingredient, except for the United

    States and Japan.

    Citrus Red No. 2 or FD&C Citrus Red No. 2 is also a possible carcinogen. Its use is limited to

    coloring orange skins. If you eat the orange peel or grate it to use in any foods that you make,you will be eating a chemical that possibly causes cancer. You can avoid this cancer-causing

    chemical if you buy organic oranges.

    FD&C Colorsare generally derived from coal tar. Coal tar is a human carcinogen. It is known tocause cancer. While the FD&C colors are not themselves known to cause cancer, do you really

    want to be eating additives in your food that are made from cancer-causing chemicals?

    Smoked foodsmay contain nitrosmaines andpolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH),both of which can cause cancer. There is not enough information to know ifsmoked

    flavorings pose the same risk. Lack of information about the safety of the chemicalsadded to the processed food you eat every day is very common in the food industry.

    Pickled vegetablesthat are prepared the traditional way as done in Asia are possiblycarcinogenic according to the IARC. Before you take your next bite,ask yourself:what is the

    possibility that they are right?Would you guess American toy stores would still be full oflead tainted toys? This shocking news has triggered massive toy recalls to protect our innocent

    children. Do we have to wait until more children and adults die to prove that our food is

    contaminated with deadly substances?

    Chinese style salted fishcause cancer. Not probably, not possibly. IARC says they do causecancer.

    quick reference. I highly recommend this book to everyone!"-Meh, A reader from Somerset, MA

    Trans Fats increase Your Risk of Heart Disease

    Trans fat is known to increase the bad cholesterol (LDL) and decrease the good cholesterol

    (HDL). It can clog your arteries and cause Type 2 Diabetes, as well as other serious healthproblems.

    Hydrogenatedandpartially hydrogenatedoils contain trans fats. So do margarine and buttersubstitutes.

    The law allows food manufacturers to put No Trans Fats on the label if the product

    contains less than 0.5 g trans fat per serving.

    However, according to the Institute of Medicine...

    there is NO SAFE LEVEL OF TRANS FATS

    Aspartame(aka Nutrasweet, Equal, Spoonful) was approved over the objections of the FDAsBoard of Inquiry. Adverse reactions attributed to aspartame include headaches, dizziness,

    difficulty breathing, memory loss, blindness and even death. In all there have been 92 differentadverse reactions reported to the FDA. Symptoms caused by aspartame can mimic the symptoms

    present in various diseases like Alzheimers, epilepsy, severe depression, mental illness, Epstein

    Barr, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis and others. Aspartame has been shown tocause cancer in rats at levels approved for human consumption. It is genetically

    engineered.

    Acesulfame-K(aka Ace-K, Acesulfame-potassium) causes cancer and elevated cholesterol inlab animals. It is known to cause low blood sugar attacks. It has not been adequately tested for

    safety.

    Splenda(aka Sucralose) is chlorinated sugar. Contrary to manufacturers claims, it ispartially absorbed by the body. The U.S. FDA states it is 11% 27% absorbed; the JapaneseFood Sanitation Council says its 40% absorbed. It has caused shrunken thymus glands, enlargedliver and kidneys, miscarriage and diarrhea in animal studies. Small amounts of dangerous

    contaminants have been detected in sucralose. Only six human studies have ever been doneas of 2006, and the longest was three months. No studies have ever been done with

    children or pregnant women. People with chlorine allergies may suffer severe reactions.

    Saccharin, previously thought to cause cancer, was delisted as a carcinogen in 1997.

    However, there are a number of prominent scientists who warn that saccharin still posesa cancer risk and it should be avoided.Food additives in use prior to the Delaney Clause are classified as Generally Recognized AsSafe orGRAS. They are not required to be tested to determine if they really are safe! These

    include additives like sodium nitrite and BHA. The International Agency for Research on Cancer(IARC) says thatnitrites and nitrates probably cause cancer, and BHA possibly causes

    A preservative is considered necessary to keep food wholesome but we should be aware whetherwe do benefit from the system or not. Few people dispute that preservativesare necessary to keepbut it is the extent of preservatives use that has become a point of debate.

    As food patterns and lifestyles change, influenced by more travel and consumption of a greater

    variety of foods, people are demanding attractive looking food that is cheap, quick to prepare and

    has a long storage life. And manufacturers and retailers are willing to provide that.

    Food has today simply become a commodity to be consumed to exist, to pass time or to sootheourselves. Where it was once a pleasant connection to home, memories and nostalgia with

    families sitting down together for a natural, well cooked and nutritious meal, today it is replaced

    by nutrient deprived foods and mass produced substitutes. Nobody is taking food as seriously as

    one should.

    [edit]How does this affect me?

    The human body is a well crafted piece of machinery. At the cellular level, there are a number of

    inter reactions that happen each day with the bodys immune systemprepared for all

    eventualities. But when we introduce outside chemicals into the body, the natural defenses do not

    know how to react and that results in the body either absorbing these foreign substances or

    causing illness and breakdown of the organs. Studies have shown that a number of diseases thatare occurring in humans such as Chronic fatigue syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and acid

    stomach are because of the chemical food intake.

    [edit]Food preservatives and health

    The effects of preservatives on human health are only just coming to fore, with many studies and

    research being done. For example nitrites and nitrates are anti-microbials that are very effective

    against the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. They are used mainly in packaged meats and also

    used to impart a pink, colour to cured meat but they react with amino acids to form cancer-causing

    nitrosamine, Sulfites that are compounds related to Sulfur dioxide and used in juices, can cause

    allergies in some people.

    There are enough cases of people who have been made abnormally sensitive by some defect in

    the body chemistry. People have suffered from among a range of ailments- skin rashes, dermatitis,

    eczema, breathing problems, asthma, Migraine, bowel disorders and palpitations. Lumps and

    blotches on the skin are the most common bad reactions. Hyperactivity in children and some

    forms ofcancer have also been blamed on preservative

    [edit]All about preservatives

    Chemical preservatives are being used for quite some time now. These chemicals act as either

    antimicrobials or antioxidants or both. They either inhibit the activity of or kill the bacteria, molds,

    insects and other micro-organisms. They also prevent the loss of some essentialamino acidssome

    vitamins. Some of the most common additives are-

    Benzoates (such as sodium benzoate, benzoic acid)- They are used in the preservation of

    many beverages,jams, pickled products, salads, cheeses,meats and margarines.

    Nitrites (such as sodium nitrite)- They are used mainly in packaged meats. They also

    impart a pink, fresh hue to cured meat

    Sulphites (such as sulphur dioxide)- They are used as a preservative in dried

    fruits, wines (particularly red wines) and fruit juices and in many other food products.

    Sorbates (such as sodium sorbate, potassium sorbate)- They are used in breads,

    cheeses, bakery productsetc.

    [edit]Preservatives categories

    There are 19 categories of additive, grouped according to function. An additive may be in a

    product to do more than one job but will be listed only under the main one. Some of the categories

    are -

    Anticaking agents

    Antioxidants

    Artificial sweetening substances

    Bleaching agents

    Food Colours

    Emulsifiers

    Enzymes

    Flavour enhancers

    Flavours

    Flour treatment agents

    Food acids

    Humectants

    Minerals Mineral salts

    Preservatives

    Propellants

    Thickeners

    Vegetable gums

    Vitamins

    Preservatives do have their advantages. Some preservatives aid manufacturing. Antifoaming

    agents prevent liquids from boiling over or from frothing when they are bottled. Anticaking agents

    keep fine powders such as salt, flowing freely. Flour improvers help to make bread rise. The

    mineral hydrocarbons are used as glazing agents to seal and give gloss.

    [edit]Types of preservatives

    There are many kinds of Preservatives

    Antimicrobials, which prevent the growth ofyeasts, molds and bacteria. For example

    sodium nitrate in sausage and ham or sulphur dioxide in wine and beer

    Antioxidants, which prevent food items from changing colour or getting black spots, like

    tocopherols in fat for cakes, ascorbyl palmitate in margarine. And sometimes both kinds are

    also used in the same food product.

    There are other kinds as well like -

    Thickening and Stabilizing agents which are added to give a certain consistency and

    texture to food such as pectin in jam, locust bean gum in ice cream to prevent

    formation of ice crystals.

    Emulsifiers that are used to manufacture foods containing fats and water such

    as lecithin in chocolates, lactic acid esters of mono and digycerides in many bakery

    products.

    Then there are flavouring agents in soft drinks, ice creams and sauces.

    And Colours that are added as extras to both impart colour to food or compensate for lost

    colour due to processing. Such as caramel colour in soft drinks, carotenes in cheese and

    margarine.

    Even to replace sugar in low calorie foods, one adds sweeteners that fall under the

    preservative range.

    [edit]Long term worries

    A large number of people are worrying that, despite the efforts of the food regulators and

    governmental rules, not many tests are being done on the cumulative effects of absorbing a range

    of additives over many years or on possible interactions between the thousands of additives now

    approved for use. Some people assume that all preservatives are bad but still use the bakingpowder for home baking.

    The use of natural extracts rather than synthetic additives does not lessen the worry. If someone

    suffers ill effects from a particular chemical substance, the effect will be the same whether it has

    occurred naturally or been man made.

    [edit]Identifying foods containing preservatives

    Ingredients of processed foods are listed on the wrapping or package in order of the amount used.

    Preservatives, which must be listed, are present in tiny amounts and so appear at the end of the

    list. When they are in specific categories, such as colors, preservatives or minerals, they are

    grouped under their category heading by their official name, their code number or both.

    The permitted flavorings are not itemized but are simple recorded as flavorings. Foods often

    contain traces of substances that are not listed. These are substances that are not ingredients of

    the product but have previously been added to one or more of the ingredients, to keep them in

    good condition. For example enzymes used to tenderize meat for pies and other meat products.

    The answer to the safety aspect of food additives is based on reviews of all available toxicological

    data, including observations of tests done to animals and on man. From the available data, a

    maximum level of an additive that has no demonstrable toxic effect is determined. This is called

    the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) and is used to determine the Acceptable Daily

    Intake (ADI) figure for each food additive.

    The problem occurs in translating that into actual safety levels for humans or the effect more than

    one additive has when it reacts with others. Studies and tests cannot be conducted on the entire

    spectrum of human population, subgroups and diversity. Hence it becomes difficult to catalog the

    effect on children, the old and the ill, people with specific ailments etc. And that is where the

    harmfulness of food preservatives comes in first.

    [edit]What can I do about it?

    One must read the ingredient list for any food item bought.

    Never assume that because one is paying more or is buying a product from a health food

    store, that it is natural or free from preservatives.

    Develop a healthy eating habit. Eat only as much as you need. And ensure that families eat

    as one. Avoid Bad Eating Habits such as eating in front of the tv, snacking inbetween meals, eating

    junk food etc.

    Eat whole foods or Organic Food

    Always pick foods labeled "low sodium" or "reduced sodium."

    Do not add salt to your food. Instead, useherbs and spices to flavor foods.

    [edit]Ninty degrees

    Some substances approved as preservatives are a natural, desirable part of food. For example

    there is some coloring and monosodium glutamate in tomatoes but the colouring carotene and the
