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

It is said that technology attributes to developments in several industries including the

food

industry. There is no shortage of debate on whether chemical

ingredients

do more good than harm or not. The argument that

chemicals

which are used in products eaten by humans cause more health damage than the advantages is both agreed upon and disagreed with by many. The two sides of the statement will be analysed and discussed thoroughly in the following essay, before drawing a reasoned conclusion. It is a common belief that chemical

additives

allow us to keep foods longer. Take my case

for example

. I usually buy groceries once a week since I'm too busy to go to a grocery store every day.

However

, I can consume some products,

such

as instant noodles, 5 days after I bought them

because

chemicals

prevent them from spoiling. Owing to the

food

,

hence

chemical

additives

are beneficial for both me and the environment.

Consequently

, we can make the best use of the limited resources if

food

products contain artificial nutrition.

Nevertheless

, it is obvious that chemical substances cause damage to people's health.

For instance

, the research done by Cambridge University revealed that 60% of those who consumed more than 100g of chemical

ingredients

per month became obese in the United Kingdom.

Furthermore

, it was proved that one chemical substance which is commonly used by fast-

food

chains causes cancer a long time after it is consumed. Those problems are irrecoverable, and

obviously

a number of people all over the world suffer from some kind of physical condition issue which is attributed to

food

additives

. In conclusion, chemical

ingredients

are always unhealthy and they cause substantial health problems globally. To summarize,

chemicals

have advantages and disadvantages, both of which are supported by compelling facts.

However

, after a thorough analysis of

this

argument, it is clear that

chemicals

contained in

food

are harmful to human beings. It is

therefore

predicted that the adverse effects of

additives

in

food

will be always greater than the positive effects, and because of

this

, I maintain that the

food

industry has to replace them with healthy

ingredients

and that people should be aware of possible issues.
