After hearing this, Liu Sang dug a spoonful of three-flower evaporated milk and put it in a pot of water. Stir for two times, and the soup immediately turned white.
Then, the "alien skills" in a series of videos such as "one spoonful of concentrated sheep cream", "one spoonful of pig bone cream", "fried caramel color", and "seed essential oil and sesame sauce" have made Liu Shuang's videos continue to rise.
, and food blogger Xin Jifei is called "Northeast Breaking Bad", "the only designated professor of potions at Hogwarts China Branch" and "all-round jet warrior".

Its anticorrosion, freshness, thickening, emulsification and other functions are not only a need for food processing, but also a support for consumers' needs for food supply, food preservation, and color, aroma, taste, and taste.
What are the main uses of food additives?
Professor Hua Xiao of Jiangnan University mentioned in his short video in May this year:
- reduces food waste, such as making canned fruits and adding antibacterial agent ;
- During the food processing process, meat products such as meat sausages will undergo color and odor changes. In order to inhibit the production of Bacillus titanium, nitrite additives will be added;

Take yogurt as an example. Many foods will add gelatin or pectin as thickener , but in fact, gelatin is extracted from animal products such as beef bones and pig skin, which is itself collagen ; and the large amount of dietary fiber in pectin is also beneficial to the human body, and there is no reason to prohibit it from being added to food.
. In the face of controversy, blogger Liu Shuang responded in his short video on September 16, saying, " never said that this thing is bad, it is because it was over-interpreted . 'Sanhua Empty Milk' refers to whole-fat Empty Milk or plant-fat Empty Milk, which mainly improves the taste and richness of the food, etc.." He said that it was not about going against the merchant, "It was about giving consumers the right to choose. Whether it was good or bad, it was necessary to tell others that like my store, cured meat was used (food additives) and it was called to eat with confidence."
In addition, on September 27, Xin Jifei also responded in one of his videos that after putting food additives in the food production video, "pouring foam into the food", "hair loss", etc., " is a bit too much, I admit, I'm sorry ", and he also responded to the accused of selling anxiety, "Some people may be too fragile, I think rational people will choose healthier."

On the contrary, using additives beyond the amount of and beyond the range is harmful and even guilty .
