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

Nowadays, it has been noted that

food

production companies are largely using

chemicals

in the

food

manufacturing process to produce and preserve it.

This

trend has both merits and demerits. I believe that despite having few advantages, its drawbacks cannot be overlooked. To commence with,

chemicals

that are added during the

food

production process are detrimental to the human

body

if it is consumed on a daily basis. It has been suggested by the health protectors that

food

chemicals

are harmful to the human

body

organs which can cause damage to the kidney, heart and other parts of the human

body

.

For example

, cold drinks consist of various

chemicals

and sugar content is

also

high in

such

beverages due to

this

people can suffer from diabetes and it can

also

cause damage to the kidney. Another drawback is that by adding

such

chemicals

to the

food

, it becomes less healthy and it reduces the life span of people.

Hence

, preservatives cold to be avoided as much as possible in daily intake.

On the other hand

,

this

development has few .

food

producers add

chemicals

in the

food

manufacturing process so that they can preserve

food

for a long

time

.

This

is beneficial for the retailers to sell the product to their customers even after a week

time

.

For instance

, nowadays easy-to-cook

food

is available in the market for people who do not get

time

to cook

food

and these products contain preservatives so that the

food

remains fresh for a long

time

after being prepared.

Moreover

, it reduces the loss due to perishable

food

items

such

as curd, juices etc ;

as a result

,

food

sellers can bear less loss of

food

and money. To conclude,

although

there are vivid advantages of

this

given statement, its demerits have clear victory over them because the drawbacks caused by the

chemicals

to the human

body

for a long term period cannot be overlooked.

Therefore

, I believe that the disadvantages of

this

phenomenon outweigh its advantages.
