Artificial Additives and Preservatives

Colourings and preservatives have been a vital part of processed food items for quite some time now. In fact the usages of these products have been used widely in almost every processed edible item. A misconception of these food preservatives and additives has been haunting minds of the public. Though many of these substances that have been circulating in the industry are approved by the Food and Drug governing administrations of various countries, not all are perfectly good for health. There are many preservatives and colouring agents that potentially harm one’s health. At the same time, considering all preservatives and colouring agents as a harmful substance is false. Given below are some of the look outs.

Refined Sugar:
Refined sugar is one of the most important additives that potentially harm a living soul. Having refined sugar in amounts considerable isn’t a threat, whereas excessive intake can make a huge difference in one’s metabolism. Some of the major effects that unwarranted sugar can do are create weight gain which likely leads a person to obesity, fatigue, migraines, gum diseases and at worst cases this could also be a factor responsible for breast cancer.

Aspartame-Saccharin:
Added mainly as sweeteners in soft drinks and other such beverages, this created disturbances in neurochemistry of the brain. The high fructose corn syrup content in this is another reason to look out for this additive.

MSG (MonoSodium Glumate)
Another flavouring agent that is used widely in almost every industry producing sugar based diets. Hiding behind many baby formulas, candies and even a wide variety of over the counter medications, MSG stands as a threat mainly to kids. Headaches and nausea is a short term inhibition this reveals. At higher level this also creates panic and irreversible obesity, which studies have claimed to be a growing issue.   

These three stand as the basic reason for creating panic within the community. Apart from there are various other additives to watch out for such as, GMO’s, BHA/BHT, Sodium nitrate, Sodium Nitrite, Caffeine and so on. Keeping tabs on what to avoid while eating may be a dubious task which is why experts say us to go for foods that do not contain artificial colouring and artificial preservatives altogether. There are companies manufacturing such eatables without the use of any such artificial substances. Eat healthy and stay healthy and do look out for any such harmful products.   

Why Vanilla Rules the Soft Serve World?

Well, to begin with, be it little ones’ or teens; mid age or old age people the times we got to know about the term “ice-creams” since many decades, the very first flavour we would have tasted should definitely be Vanilla.
