Now a days we have so busy schedules that we don't even have time for ourselves. We don't even sit & have our food properly & to save time we take it as fast as poissible. Further as technology has advanced our eating habits have also changed. We are more likely to go for artificial products rather than natural products.

Companies are taking advantage of this situation & are knowingly providing us with artificial food products. Knowingly or unknowingly we consume these products & in the long term our health starts detoriating.

Are artificial products the root cause of all health problems? Give your comments.....

Yes, to a larger extent artificial products have created a lot of health problems .Almost all of the processed foods contain additives, substances intended to change the food in some way before it is sold to consumers. Packaging is considered an indirect food additive and, in fact, many kinds of packaging actually add substances to the food they enclose. Artificial food products are the root cause of many illness.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) currently has approved more than 3,000 food additives for use. However, while approved for human consumption, food additives may still threaten our health. This is one of many reasons why it is better to purchase whole foods, or those that have been minimally processed and treated.

NO, this probably is one of the reason. There are many more including lack of Medical professional's interest and care at the outset and prper diagnosis. Surgery and Non-sterilised instruments used during surgery causing infection, many of these unknown to most,,only to name a few.

Yes, I completely agree to this statement.

1.The paucity of time has made us more inclined towards "READY to EAT" food which contains high amount of corn syrup and fats which contribute towards heart attacks and high blood pressure.

2.Hot fried chilly foods like chips, masaladar wafers, often contain thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin and niacin which can make a person, itchy, hypersensitive, anemic and having urine problem.

3.Artificial foods dont as such provide us with any energy content and often they are termed as empty calorie foods.they are appealing because of the lavish tastes which are obtained by massive usage of oil, cheese and other substance which adds no nutritional value.

4.Myocardial Infarction, excess exhibity levels, high cholesterol levels, are the harmful effects of the articial food habits.

5.Often the Artificial foods in order to increase their shelf life contain preservatives and additives like colours(e.g carmine) which are carcinogenic to human beings.

Switch to a healthy whole diet nutrition containing fibrous food, pulses, green vegetables and off course complemented with milk and fruits.No substitute of these with the READY TO EAT junkies....

Yes.According to Ms.Anitha rai statement, the present world is dependent on artificial foods.The simple answer is lack of time to think about the value of natural products.Because the people are working more than a machine for survival.So they are not ready to give importance for the normal natural food.The normal life span of human in old days , it was between 75 to 90yrs.But now it was just 60 to 75.Nowadays the artificial foods are attracted by colourful , fascinating advertisements.But onething is sure,noone can stop this emerged artificial foods until people realise their importance of health.

Definnitely, artificial will be artificial always, it couldnot take place of original. Espeically, when we are talking about food. Now, i m going to talk about farming procedures which is in use everywhere for more financial profit but no one care about the health of people. I dont know much about farming but I know that tradional farming is always good and generates good, healthy and tasty vegetables and grains.  Artifical products always have some certain side effect. We shoud check about the contents and cumsuming period of the product, following it atlest we can reduce some amount of risk.

Thanks.

Ofcourse.. but we must be take care of ourself.we knew what kind of food to take for good health.we know the fresh vegetable salads,half or full boiled vegetables with boridge or properly cooked rice is nice to take. a good hygenic food never give any uncomfortable after u have taken it.it willl go easy digestion.

you know one thing ... i need to say simply we always like to eat the food like our home made especially Amma cooked food. i promised to say this statement no one can say i had eat the nice and tasty and healthy food other than my mum cooked. i saw a nice sentence in HP gas tanker, "COOK THE FOOD ,SERVE THE LOVE". The food served with love and care must be cooked with love and care also.

In our case , we know what we have to eat,for that what we have to cook. but we never have the time to purchase the vegetables and merchents eventhough we bought ready no have time to cook. in a case the special thing is  our coming generation didnt know how to cook.(its my personnel opinion only).

whatever happen we need to take care of the food items.so my kind requiistion and opinion is we try to cook our food ourself. cooking is art.. if we involved itself it will come in our hand easily.

after that evryone left from them mother they need to involved atleast partially itself. i have the confident we do not prepare the slow poisons in the way of cooking.so we do not  thing and say the third is the reasoner i become sick it was come by the way food from this shop ..and etc.

and every state  no the central government  the whole nation should have the strong procedure ,rules and regulation and it should it be amended without any deviation for the food stalls,restaurents,even a coffee shops in the village of the nation.

its not a anyone personal problem its a big nation disease but no one take care of itself ... i going to stop my chattering with one comment..

 A GOVERNMENT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLES ... NOT THE CHAIR OF THEM AND THEIR SORROUNDINGS ONLY.. APART FROM THEIR VISIONS ALSO PEOPLES ALIVE.

On opening your refrigerator, your freezer, or your kitchen cupboards, you will find at the labels of the food products, "natural flavor" or "artificial flavor" in just about every list of ingredients. The similarities between these two broad categories are far more significant than the differences. Both are man-made additives that give most processed food most of its taste. People usually buy a food item the first time because of its packaging or appearance. Taste usually determines whether they buy it again. Over 50 percent of the money that is spent on food goes to buy processed food. The canning, freezing, and dehydrating techniques used in processing destroy most of food's flavor -- and so a vast industry has arisen to make processed food palatable. Without this flavor industry today's fast food would not exist. The names of the leading fast-food chains and their best-selling menu items have become embedded in our popular culture and famous worldwide. But few people can name the companies that manufacture fast food's taste. Let us examine why?

Only artificial substances alone cannot be blamed solely for so called " all the health problems", as all  

of us know that diseases are caused by various factors - intenal , extenal , environmental etc...

Artificial products (allopathic MEDICINES) are used to treat health problems , as per as Food is concerned

IODISED Salt is recommended and it prevents health problem. Many other inorganic / artificial

substances are fortified in our daily food items to prevent health problems.

Water , important component of our diet ,a natural source , is treated with chlorine ( artificial substance) to

prevent health hazards.
