Do the dangers derived from the use of chemicals in food production and preservation outweigh the advantages? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own experience or knowledge.

Nowadays,

food

factories process

food

by adding harmful

chemicals

.

Although

food

additives

increase the quality of

food

, using a lopsided amount of them is hazardous. I completely agree with the previous statement and I will justify my argument in the upcoming paragraphs.

Food

additives

have a variety of categories.

For example

, preservatives,

flavours

, colours, and minerals. The FDA had approved using some of them because of the ability of these

additives

to enhance the quality of

food

. By using salt and sugar we can protect the

food

from spoiling.

In addition

, enrich the taste of different meals by amplifying

flavours

.

For instance

, all the fast

food

industries rely on adding

flavours

to have these delicious fast recipes.

Moreover

, some candy factories use colours to produce cheerful popsicles.

Also

, the novel trends of fortified

food

depend on adding extra minerals and vitamins to the main

food

base. Mentioning prior statements highlights the good uses of

food

additives

.

However

for many valid reasons these

chemicals

’ hazards are immensely more than the benefits.

To begin

with, preserving

food

using salt and sugar.

Consequently

, make us more susceptible to chronic diseases

such

as diabetes, hypertension, and strokes.

In addition

, researchers proved that the majority of

food

flavours

are cancerogenic and they advise limiting using them. For another reason, it is preferable to take our bodies’ nutrients directly from natural

food

.

Therefore

, many doctors suggest reducing consuming fortified

food

, as it can cause serious diseases like kidney stones and so on. Add to

this

, the attempting colourful

food

, namely; cotton candy, juice, and crackles are considered to have negative side effects, especially; on their target which is children. To summarize.

Food

additives

are considered a huge development in the

food

industry. As processing

food

using

chemicals

make it a long-lasting preserve.

Conversely

, the downside effects of these

chemicals

are enormous. I believe we should be careful in limiting consuming processed

food

.

Moreover

, I would say that

food

factories and authorities shall impose rules to restrict adding only beneficial

chemicals

to the

food

.
