[QUOTE="Crown_amps, post: 1536147, member: 562002"] Processed/Fast Foods Additives and Preservatives Processed Foods are natural foods that are put through a procedure that is designed to kill harmful bacteria. Although these procedures are meant to be beneficial, often they are more hazardous. When a natural food source is processed, it is heated, pulverized, impaired, degraded and eventually devoid of any nutritional content. Additives are then distributed to regain back the vitamins and nutrients lost through this process. More than one billion pounds of chemicals are routinely added to food each year. They put all sorts of elements on our foods, to give it colour, flavour, anti-caking agents to prevent clumping, preservatives to stop spoilage, I could go on...and will. An additive is added to a food product either intentionally, to produce a desired effect or unintentionally through processing, storage or packaging. Preservatives are added to help maintain a food's freshness and to keep it from spoiling, or oxidizing. Salt, sugar and vinegar were the first ways to preserve foods. Technology has further advanced our food choices and as a result, the use of additives and preservatives have exploded into N. American's food supply. In thirty years, there has been an incredible increase of additives since processed foods have become more abundant. I like to call these products, 'man-made' since there is no resemblance to the natural food it once was. Most additives are considered 'safe' but some are known to be carcinogenic even toxic. Hyperactivity, allergies, asthma and migraines are common reactions to food additives.
