There
is a question, Is there food in containers that are without preservatives? It
was a question that sounds strange. Imagine, almost every day of our stomachs
never missed receiving the supply of food made from preservative. Hawker stalls
in the boy, as well as snacks and drinks at the supermarket are all allegedly
contain preservatives food.
If
we look at the hawker food in stores, almost all types of food stamp said
SODIUM BENZOATE. Sodium Benzoate is a preservative in food or drink put in to
prevent or inhibit fermentation, acidification or other deterioration of food
caused by microorganisms such as fungi (fungi), bacteria and others.
If
we know, the sodium benzoate is very dangerous and have adverse effects on
health, it is true if consumed at the time yet to be seen the symptom. But how
about our future? How about our healthy on the coming 10 or 20 years? surely
there are side effects to the health of a very large one, its side effects such
as cancer ternena or even lead to death.
Another
thing that has a high level of danger is the artificial food coloring (non
natural). Food coloring is a colored object that has a chemical affinity to the
food which colored. Intended purpose of giving color to food so it looks more
colorful, attracting the attention of consumers. Dyes are generally liquid and
powder that dissolves in water. Some artificial coloring that you should know
and be aware are tartrazine (E102 or Yellow 5), Sunset Yellow (E110, Orange
Yellow S or Yellow 6), Ponceau 4R (E124 or SX Purple), Allura Red (E129) and
quinoline yellow (E104 ).
For
that, parents need to be careful in monitoring the child's diet. Child is the
largest prey in the crosshairs of the food manufacturers. Why? Child must buy
snack every day. Hawker food is the most widely-containing preservatives.
Navigate your son to choose a safe snacks. Do the following way:
·
Observe whether foods
are brightly colored or very different from the original color.
·
Taste the flavor. If
the food was sharp, for example, is very savory taste and make the tongue
vibrate, then the food is not safe
·
Look at the food
expiration dates.
·
Look at the
ingredients. Please read carefully the content of the ingredients are there
additional hazardous foods that can damage health.
·
Pay attention to the
food. Keep the products have been listed in the POM (Food and Drug
Administration) which can be seen in the printed label on the packaging.
The
tips above do not fully ensure food is safe. But at least we have to minimize
the risk of the dangers that made the food preservative.
