soy sauce, an indispensable daily condiment, never expected that the revelation of a young man selling baked gluten in the Northeast attracted attention and heated discussion among the people across the country.
I didn’t want to talk about this, but when I thought of eating this thing at home every day, I didn’t know it if I didn’t look at it, I was shocked when I saw it.
The products of a soy sauce factory are sold abroad with only natural raw materials such as water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. In addition to the natural raw materials, the products sold in China also include food additives sodium glutamate , 5’- disodium nucleotide , 5’- disodium inosine , sodium benzoate , and sucralose . Among them, the first three types are flavor enhancer , sodium benzoate is a commonly used food preservative, and sucralose is a sweetener.
I also believe that these food additives meet national standards, but I would like to ask here humbly, can I buy products that do not have food additives and exports for your brand ?
Although some soy sauce factory refutes the rumor that its products meet national security standards and are healthy. I just think you are completely right, but I think it's OK to be healthier? Can I crave my healthier food without preservatives?
The products of a soy sauce factory have added the preservative sodium benzoate. I specifically checked the toxicity, and the explanation was that the acute toxicity was less, but my long-term consumption may be caused by chronic poisoning, at least there is a risk.
, and sodium benzoate can be converted into the toxic benzoic acid in the acid environment of the human intestine. Intake of benzoic acid and its sodium salt in mice can lead to weight loss, diarrhea, bleeding, paralysis and even death. The toxicity of benzoic acid is achieved by changing the permeability of the cell membrane, which inhibits the absorption of amino acid by the cell membrane, and inhibits the activity of enzymes such as lipase through the cell membrane, thereby hindering ATP synthesis.
I have not eaten soy sauce once in my life, nor a bottle of soy sauce, but I have eaten it almost every day and will eat it all my life. The sodium benzoate added to the soy sauce will be converted into a more toxic benzoic acid in the human body. The more toxic benzoic acid can change the permeability of the cell membrane, and inhibits the absorption of amino acids by the cell membrane, and inhibits the activity of enzymes such as lipase through the cell membrane, thus hindering ATP synthesis.
is like this. The merchant actually told me that it is safe? Can I believe it? Are you losing your conscience? In my opinion, this is not selling anxiety, I am really taking toxic preservatives.
To be honest, I also support condiment companies affected by public opinion to protect their rights in accordance with the law and hold online rumor-mongers accountable for legal responsibilities. But I really don’t like what a certain association emphasizes: because of different diet and consumption habits in different countries, the standards and requirements for the same type of products will be different.
Different dietary habits do not mean that we like to eat preservatives containing toxicity.
In fact, after reading the news for several days, I also learned about the attitudes and products of these soy sauce factories. Consumers have no right to ask soy sauce factories to change the formula.
But we can change our consumption. There are so many soy sauce factories in China. We choose some merchants with no food additives and export and domestic sales standards to buy products.
