How often is that so pleasing to the eye of a beautifulpackaging, and delights in an amazing taste, contains in its structure an invisible enemy - a whole list of food additives, especially harmful to human health! In our age of rapidly developing technologies, it is almost impossible to find packaged products that do not contain harmful food additives: synthetic stabilizers, emulsifiers or colorants used to improve the taste of the product, increase its shelf life and, of course, to give it more attractive appearance. A pleasant gentle pink shade of sausages, marmalade of all colors of the rainbow and milk, preserving freshness for a week and a half or two weeks - all these "miracles" are created with the help of various food additives, which, incidentally, can be found in almost all products. And it's good, if we are talking about, at least relatively harmless to our health elements, which, unfortunately, there is very little. Still, many of us doubt whether it is harmful to use food additives or everything is not as scary as it might seem? After all, the vast majority of manufacturers assure the buyer that they supply only environmentally friendly and healthy products. They are echoed by commercials, literally shouting about the absolute safety of products. In aggravating the situation, we ourselves almost never pay attention to the composition of the purchase or simply do not understand what this or that abbreviation or chemical term means. And yet among food additives there are many and really extremely dangerous. Some of them get into the body, under certain conditions secrete toxins, others show their harmful "character", interacting with other products. So what additives e consider "persona" non grata, and which can be used without damage to health? 
Pay attention to the marking
Virtually all food additives representare artificial chemicals, which is why even the safest of them in hypersensitive people are capable of provoking a negative reaction. And what about the harmful food additives e, which pose a danger to any organism, even the strongest and healthy! When choosing foods or a biologically active additive (BAA), do not ignore their packaging, especially the part where the composition is indicated: the letter E (from Europe) accepted worldwide and three numbers with it (this label indicates food additives). If codes start with one, then it's about dyes, with deuces - about preservatives, with a triplet - about antioxidants. The first quartet and the top five warn of the presence of stabilizers and emulsifiers, respectively, number six indicates the presence of flavor enhancers, and codes beginning with the number nine indicate antiflaming (antifoam) substances. At the same time, food additives - dyes, are designated by numbers from E 100 to E 182. Among them, one can "meet" a large number of dangerous substances, and the goods under the E 121 and E 123 numbers are strictly forbidden. Nutritional supplements starting with E 200 number are preservatives, whose task is to optimize the shelf life of products. And in achieving this goal, they do not stand on ceremony with our body, having a negative impact on the biochemical reactions taking place in it, and, in addition, destroying living bacteria. Separate discussion, no doubt, deserves a food supplement with the marking e220, which is sulfur dioxide (colorless gas with an irritating smell). It is used for canning various products, and is allowed to use in almost all countries. At the same time, the danger of e220 does not cause doubts: the additive provokes serious poisoning with sulfur dioxide, ending with a runny nose, coughing, hoarseness and so-called perspiration in the throat. And the inhalation of a more saturated sulfur dioxide gas, can threaten a person with suffocation, speech disorder, difficulty swallowing, vomiting and acute swelling of the lungs. In people suffering from asthma and kidney failure, a close "acquaintance" with e220 can respond to damage to the digestive organs and fatal allergic reactions, as well as the destruction of vitamins B 1 and B 12. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully study the relevant packages and labels, remembering that the maximum allowable the amount of sulfur dioxide (e220) for different products and goods is not constant. Thus, in products directly consumed in food, it should not be more than 100 mg per kilogram, for wines, the highest concentration is 200-250 ml per liter, depending on the country of origin and wine varieties. 
If a friend was suddenly
Food additives performing in foodthe role of antioxidants, antioxidants and acidity regulators, are marked with codes from E 300, and are designed to slow oxidative processes. By their effect on the human body, they are very similar to preservatives. By indexing products in numbers from E 400 to E 430, manufacturers warn the buyer about the presence of thickeners and stabilizers in them, which are designed to maintain the necessary consistency of the product. Among them there are a lot of vegetable or animal food additives, but, unfortunately, most E 400 - E 430 are chemical substances, which means harmful food additives. Emulsifiers (mineral substances) are designated by the indices E 430 - E 500, disintegrators - E 500 - E 520, and for the presence of flavor enhancers corresponding to natural, indicate E 620 and E 642. And still, do not think that everything without except food supplements e are classified as harmful and dangerous, because they came to us from those times when they did not even hear of the chemical industry. Our ancestors also used various food additives to increase the shelf life of individual products. The problem is that today we are practically deprived of the opportunity to eat truly environmentally friendly products without harmful food additives f. And often they are threatened by those that are very popular with us.
The "best" ten
And how do you know if it's harmful to eatadditives available in the composition, for example, of the potato "Free"? In this case it will not be superfluous to list the leading ten products with a harmful food additive e. Chewing gum and various sweets, which, however, can hardly be classified as food, because they consist mainly of food additives e. Their frequent and erratic use, like usually ends with stomach disorders, dehydration, kidney and liver diseases, allergic manifestations, skin and other diseases. A high level of harmful food additives e (preservatives, stabilizers, thickeners, etc.) can "please" and products such as boiled sausages, sausages, sausages and minced meat, as well as smoked meat, fish and sausages. They can be classified without any exaggeration as the most harmful to the body products, fraught with cancer, stomach diseases, allergies and visual impairments. Next on the list are yoghurts so beloved by us, which came here because of the same stabilizers, antioxidants, thickeners and flavoring agents that provoke the development of cancer, allergies and pancreas diseases. And also chips and potatoes "Free", deserved the "honorary title" of harmful products, thanks to stabilizers and flavors (flavor enhancers). A deplorable result of their use can be oncological diseases, headaches, excessive redness of the face, sweating and other diseases. No less popular with us and ice cream, many of which are also "friends" with harmful to health supplements, which, after all, can not lead to cancer, kidney and liver diseases, stomach disorders, slowing down the metabolic process in the body and to similar ones dangerous diseases. Harmful "snacks" with the content of e, are considered and suhariki, capable of causing gastric disorders, blood pressure disorders and allergies. The most dangerous beverages include non-alcoholic beverages (Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Sprite and others) and energy, whose composition was not without food supplements e: synthetic sweeteners, food preservatives, flavors and emulsifiers. Despite the fact that they are very difficult to attribute to food, the damage they cause (cirrhosis, allergies, degenerative diseases) is a sufficient basis for including these liquid pests in our list. As well as various sauces, although they are not independent foods, they successfully destroy the useful qualities of any food. And finishes the list of products containing harmful additives e, chocolate. It takes a lot of effort to find a representative of this sweetness, which does not threaten the body with allergic reactions and many other diseases. Probably, we should not remind once again that our health is in our hands. Use in your diet only the most useful products, become a supporter of proper nutrition, forget about chips, coca-cola and others, maybe delicious, but very dangerous products. And you will surprise your friends and relatives for many years with your strong health! We advise you to read:
