Today we are eating chemical-loaded food items. In this fast-paced era, we no longer have time to prepare food from scratch like our ‘Dadis’ and ‘Nanis’.
The majority of the time we tend to pack items to satisfy our hunger or use highly chemicalised ingredients to make our cooking work easy.
Time and again Food Safety and Standard Authority warned us about the substances used to make these ready-to-eat packed items.
It is because of this organization we know about food adulteration and can detect adulterants in food items. But there are a lot of food items we consider healthy but they contain adulterants. There is a lot to the process of detecting chemical-loaded food in our daily lives and requires the involvement of governing bodies.
Today we will talk about a few such chemical-loaded food items. These are the foods that we consume everyday thinking it is good for our health.
let’s have a look.
Flavored Yogurt
We consume yogurt for breakfast and lunch thinking it is good for our stomach. But flavoured yogurt contains contents like caramel colouring and other colouring items that can trigger hyperactivity in children and be harmful to the heart health of adults.
Salad dressing
Vegetable salads and chicken salads are not only healthy but easy to prepare as well. People on a diet majorly prefer salad as their go-to meal. They use caramel to give Italian or other dressings their signature hue, which the human body should not consume because it is not safe.
Peanut Butter
Both adults and kids love this delight. Those aiming for more protein opt for peanut butter. This velvety delight is highly popular among fitness enthusiasts. Considered the right source of protein and good fat, peanut butter contains aflatoxin. Aflatoxin links to liver cancer and other liver diseases.
Tomato Sauce
It is found that packaged tomato sauces are loaded with Bisphenol A. Bisphenol A (BPA) interferes with the hormone system. A study found that it is linked to increased heart disease, breast cancer, and obesity.
Pickles
Package pickles are easy to use. To give them the color of turmeric and red chili powder, these pickles are loaded with yellow and red dyes. Sodium benzoate, which has been proven to damage mitochondria, an important area of DNA in the power station of cells, fills them.
