The fact that the ingredients with the letter E in the marking code are fear and horror have all of us, I think, deposited on the subcortex. I myself, sometimes, sorting out the composition of the next delicacy, tried to grab the head, then the heart, then the liver, then stomach, and imagining how all these vital organs fall off one after another after using this very delicacy.
Therefore, I beat myself on the hands (figuratively speaking) and remember that it is generally harmful to live, well, and preservatives with all the other horrors are the realities of modern life. What? I’ll rest in Bose (that’s how this expression sounds?), And I’ll be fresh, given the amount of preservatives used. The Egyptians, over there, put a lot of effort into it. And for us, so to speak, the effect is a bonus!
Well, okay, jokes are jokes, humor is black here, but the problem of "eshek" is still quite acute.
And as experts say, ingredients with the letter "E" are actually dangerous. If the ingredients themselves are consumed in pure form, with spoons and in huge quantities. And if a little bit somewhere - nothing, we will survive!
For myself, I decided not to bother with the problem of the presence of "E" in the composition. Or rather, like this: I don’t like them, I don’t like it when the line-up consists of incomprehensible codes, but... I don’t want to suffer especially because of them.
There are several reasons:
First, E does not mean that the additive is a chemical
E is the initial letter of the words essbar / edible (edible), and this designation appeared when the digital identification system was created in 1953 in the countries of the European Community.
Secondly, the list of prohibited E in our country (although they do not believe in it) is controlled. He's not very big
- E103 - alkanite (dye)
- E121 - citrus red 2 (dye)
- E123 - red amaranth (dye)
- E128 - red 2G (dye)
- E216 - propyl parahydroxybenzoic acid, paraben group (preservative)
- E217 - sodium salt of parahydroxybenzoic acid propyl ester (preservative)
- E240 - formaldehyde (preservative).
In addition to this list, there is a list of unauthorized and potentially dangerous ones, but this is already for the most desperate fans of healthy lifestyles and naturalness. If you start comparing supplements on all lists, it is easier to die out of hunger than to find something that does not contain them (and it is not a fact that it does not actually contain them).
Thirdly, they are classified by intervals:
- Dyes are designated in the range E100 – E199
- Preservatives - Е200 – Е299
- Antioxidants - Е300 – Е399
- Stabilizers - Е400 – Е499
- Emulsifiers - Е500 – Е599
- Additives that enhance taste and aroma - Е600 – Е699
And in these intervals there can be both "chymosis" and quite familiar products. Look, E500 - soda, E150 - burnt sugar, E210 - lingonberries, cranberries and apples. So, again, it is impossible to spot the chemistry without a list.
If someone has the patience for such feats, then... I sincerely admire these people, but I can feel the strength to repeat their feat in myself. You have to reassure yourself that nothing forbidden will be added.
And how do you treat "eshkami"?
