With the technology of foods becoming more high tech there is always alternatives showing up in foods. In diet sodas and sugar free foods there is an alternate ingredient. Every once in a while I hear things about certain chemicals that are not health, cause cancer, or are made of harmful substances. Most people do not know what every ingredient actually is on the back of their package. Here are a few chemicals to stay away from: (http://www.healthyeatingadvisor.com/9cancer-causingchemicals.html)

I have also been hearing a lot about chemicals that are in our foods today. As our technology advances scientists have noticed side effects these chemicals have on mammals. Apparently everything "causes cancer" but some of these chemicals are changing our growth rate. Also, processed foods are getting worse and worse for us. We should find other alternatives rather then these harmful chemicals.
ReplyDeleteOh boy... this is really bad news because I am a big consumer of junk food, so hearing all of this talk cancer-causing chemicals is not good news for me. The worst part is I just ate some doritos and theres like two or three of those ingredients listed in them. Oops.
ReplyDeleteThis was really good to know because I deffinently have to watch out because it runs through my family. But people don't realize the side effects that the foods we consume have. Nothings healthy and natural anymore, even fruits we think are good are covered in chemicals and proservatives that harm us.
