I t seems that it is virtually impossible to buy a product these days without some sort of food preservative among the vitamins and nutrients. But with the introduction of organic foods, there is now a choice from many of the products today, not that preservatives are dangerous or very bad, but they do call for some thought. Food additives are present in a large number and variety of foods these days. A lot of food preservatives are added to food of which many people are unaware. Some people can get skin rashes or develop 'troubles' to the heart by consuming certain food additives.
Some food additives are illegal in some countries.
This is part of the reason why some people switch to organic foods where few or no additives or pesticides are used. Pesticides can raise a few people's eyebrows because some fruits or vegetables tend to seem 'too perfect', that is, big and red and as long lasting as possible. The introduction of organic foods has helped people choices between foods with or without additives or pesticides. Not all food additives are necessarily 'bad'. Some have been used for thousands of years to help preserve fish, bacon, and fruit jams etc.
