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

Food

plays a vital role in human life. But, nowadays the

food

is produced by the

companies

is done with the help of several harmful

chemicals

, in order to ensure that the

food

must

last

for a much longer

period

. In my state of mind, there are many more threats than the benefits we can gain from

such

food

products

. There are numerous reasons why

companies

use to place

chemicals

in edible items. Mainly,

chemicals

are derived for the eye-soothing of the customers as these

chemicals

change the colouring of

food

which will attract more buyers even if they are not tempted to eat. Generally, the basic reason is to increase

food

preservation. Typically, the

food

we eat can only

last

for a limited time

period

but the use of

chemicals

provide a longer shelf life and it provides a huge advantage to

companies

as the

products

will be purchased more.

For example

- the sales of

milk

powder are much increased than organic

milk

because natural

milk

lasts for a short time

period

whereas powdered

milk

has much more durability. The chemical

food

products

are providing benefits but only to the production

companies

, not the consumers.

However

, these

companies

claim that these chemical additives are purely safe and they

also

claim to have accurate researches to support themselves. These researches are being quite biased as it is only done by the company's researches only or by the people having a good relationship with these

companies

.

Furthermore

, it is very common to read numerous reports about the possible hazards to health like cancer. The

products

can

also

lead to several other problems like hyperactivity in children and digestion problems. To conclude, there are many pros of involving

chemicals

in

food

products

. I tend to believe that

this

only profit the

companies

in order to achy more and more profits. It is merely not possible to fully stop

this

everyday practice, so in order to be on a safer ,side the

chemicals

must be labelled clearly on the product to aware the buyers. I hope that in the upcoming

period

of time the organic

products

will be available at reasonable prices to the community as a whole.
