Wait… Then why does Japan approve so many food additives in the first place?
Horrifying fact: some studies point out that Japan approves the largest number of food additives in the world. While most countries only have about a few dozens of allowable food additives, Japan is said to have more than 1,500 kinds. Of course not all of them are harmful, but some of them are banned in many foreign countries.
For example, the food coloring agent called red #2 (included in jelly and soft drinks) is believed to increase the risk of cancer and hives.
Trans-fatty acids (included in bread and snacks) is said to increase the risk of myocardial infarction, strokes, and dementia.
The food additives have all been officially approved by the government as “unharmful against humans” after undergoing rigorous investigation, however many scientists in Japan question the following:
1. The experiments have only been done on animals
2. They have only tested each food additive one at a time and haven’t checked what would happen upon intaking multiple kinds on long terms
3. Many of these food additives are confirmed by WHO as cancer-causing/brain damaging
Unfortunately, you may be trading the rest of your healthy life for Japan’s colorful and delicious-looking foods.
