hey guys! i found out some stuffs about food preservatives and the harmful things it can do to our body!
I have always knew that food preservatives could cause cancer. but what i never knew was how. after reading this article, i know that sodium nitrite is extremely carcinogenic. Even though it is commonly known as salt to others. When combined with your saliva and digestive enzymes, sodium nitrite creates cancer-causing compounds known as nitrosamines. This nitrosamines actually gave lab rats cancer when it was tried out in the lab as it is too hazardous for the biological system!!!!!
In humans, the consumption of sodium nitrite has been strongly correlated with brain tumors, leukemia, and cancers of the digestive tract. Yet this ingredient carries absolutely no warning on food labels, and in fact, seems to sound like a perfectly safe ingredient, like sodium.
The reason why manufacturers still chose this dangerous food preservatives is because it gives a vibrant red colour to the meat product or the otherwise dull grey colour without the help of the preservatives, making them look appetising and fresh when they may have already passed their expiry dates, also known as the shelf life period.
Therefore my dear group mates.... watch out of the food labels when you buy food that contains food preservatives!
