Do the dangers derived from the use of chemicals in food production and preservation outweighs the advantages?

Nowadays, the processing and preservation of several foods are

Besides

For instance

Nevertheless

, despite the advantages above, the high risk and incidence of terminal diseases is the

reason why I agree that the dangers of applying chemicals in

productions far outstrips the benefits. To

Secondly

, the use of the so-called chemicals in making or increasing shelve lives has caused an early maturity and excessive weight gain in many children and youths.

This

may be owing to the fact that most of those consumables are considered fast foods and has high sugar. Most of our children's delight in these sugary foods results in rapid maturity and obesity most times. In conclusion, while extended shelve life and foreign exchange aid are reasons why many sees nothing bad in the use of chemicals in the production and preservation of

products, I believe the disadvantages
