What's so good about additive-free foods?

When it comes to additive-free foods, many people probably only think of them as "good for your health" and don't know much about them.

Let's take a closer look at additive-free foods!

Additive-free foods are foods that do not contain any of the substances classified as "food additives" or "synthetic additives." While additive-free foods are often perceived as being healthy, for the sake of your family and pets, it's important to understand additives properly and choose foods that benefit everyone. ♪

For example, nigari, which is essential for making tofu, is also a type of additive. There's little image of nigari being bad for you. The tofu example doesn't necessarily mean "additives = bad."

However, there are certainly additives that should be avoided.

Food additives are basically used to reduce costs and labor for mass production. They are used to adjust the taste, appearance, and aroma, to extend shelf life, and to sell at the lowest possible price.

Kinarino lists them as follows.

You've probably heard that they're often found in convenience store bento boxes and commercially available processed bread. Even if they look delicious, be careful not to consume too much!

Be careful of colorants used in processed meats, food colorings used in brightly colored sweets, and mold inhibitors used in imported citrus fruits. If you're concerned, check the food additive list to see if they're safe. Junk food and convenience store meals often contain many additives, so avoiding them is one way to avoid them.

The same website also states that you should be careful not to consume too many!

On the other hand, the benefits of additives include:

1. Improve shelf life
2. Make food look more appetizing
3. Improve texture
4. Enhance flavor
5. Improve aroma
6. Supplement nutrients

However, experiments using rats have shown that some of these substances may be carcinogenic or have a high risk of causing allergies.

While it is difficult to prove a causal relationship between disease and food additives, considering the increasing incidence of allergies, lifestyle-related diseases, and cancer in modern people who are consumed with additives, it is probably best to avoid foods with a high additive content as much as possible.

As noted in the Shokutaku Column, while additives meet the needs of mass production and mass consumption in modern society, you should be careful not to eat too much!

Also, while it varies from person to person, some people have reported that avoiding food additives has improved their intestinal environment, alleviating or alleviating atopic dermatitis and hives, and even clearing up their skin!

Many people have also reported that their dog's constitution has improved by switching to additive-free food.
