Do the dangers derived from the use of chemicals in food production and preservation outweigh the advantages?
Most foods that are purchased these days in small stores and supermarkets have chemicals in them as there are used to improve production and ensure the food lasts for longer. However, there are concerns that these have harmful effects.In my opinion, the potential dangers of this are greater than the benefits we receive.
There are several reasons why chemicals are placed in food. Firstly, it is to improve the product to the eye, and this is achieved via the use of colorings which encourage people to purchase food that may otherwise not look tempting to eat. Another reason is to preserve the food.Much of the food we eat would not actually last that long if it were not for chemicals they contain, so again this is an advantage to the companies that sell food as their products have a longer shelf life.
From this evidence , it is clear to me that the main benefits are, therefore, to the companies and not to the customer.Although companies claim these food additives are safe and they have reasearch to support this , The research is quite possibly biased as it comes from their own companies or people with connections to these companies. It is common to read reports these days in the press about possible links to various health issues such as cancer. Food additives have also been linked to problems such as hyperactivity in children.
To conclude, despite the fact that there are benefits to placing chemicals in food , I believe that this principally help the companies but could be a danger to the public. It is unlikely that this practice can be stooped, so food must be clearly labeled and it is my hope that organic products will become more readily available at reasonable prices to all .
