Hello dear readers, today we are going to talk about food, which is an integral part of our daily lives. Especially those "foreign foods" that come from foreign lands and are full of mysteries. Have you ever heard the saying, "Foreign food does not contain additives and is safer and healthier than domestic food?" However, this seemingly natural view actually hides a surprising secret. Today, let's unveil this secret together and see what the truth really is.
First, let's look at a little story. This is a story about a foreign friend named Jack. Jack is a food lover, and he is full of curiosity and yearning for Chinese food culture. By chance, he came to China and began his journey of Chinese cuisine. However, to his surprise, after tasting many Chinese delicacies, he found that he was experiencing some symptoms of discomfort in his body. He began to wonder if China's food safety problems were causing his health to deteriorate. So, he decided to return to his home country to find out.
Upon returning to his home country, Jack began to conduct in-depth research on the food he ate. He found that the foreign food that he had always thought was "safe and healthy" was not so safe. He found that almost all food products, whether in the United States, the United Kingdom or France, were added with a variety of additives. These additives include preservatives, colors, flavors, sweeteners, and more. Moreover, the use of these additives far exceeds any food he eats in China.
This discovery took Jack by surprise. He began to reflect on why he had always thought that foreign food was safer and healthier? It turned out that it was because he had been misled by a wrong idea. This is the concept that "foreign food does not contain additives and is safer and healthier than domestic food." However, this is not the case. In fact, no matter what country the food is, the use of additives cannot be completely avoided. Because, additives play a very important role in food processing, they can improve the taste, color, shelf life and so on of food.
So, do additives really cause harm to our bodies? The answer is: not necessarily. Although additives may affect our body to a certain extent, as long as we use them reasonably, they will not cause much harm to our body. Moreover, many additives have been scientifically studied and experimentally verified, and they are safe.
However, the problem is that many businesses overuse additives in pursuit of profits, and even use some unproven additives. This poses a threat to our health. Therefore, when we choose food, we must read the ingredient list of food clearly, and try to choose those foods with few additives and simple ingredients.
Finally, I would like to say that both domestic and foreign food products have their advantages and disadvantages. We can't generalize about which food is better or worse. We should choose foods that are suitable for us according to our physical condition and needs. At the same time, we also need to improve our food safety knowledge and learn how to choose and use food correctly and safely.
