Food additives are silent killers that numb the tongues of my children and family and slowly take away their health.

Epilogue
Into the book
The meatballs I developed cost less than 100 yen per pack.
It's a groundbreaking price.
The cost would be only 20 to 30 yen.
The secret, of course, lies in the additives.
This product was a huge hit as soon as it was released.
Sales were so strong that the CEO of the business partner was always talking about it, and I even heard that he was able to build a building by making one good product.
It may not taste like meat, but once the magical power of the additives kicks in, it transforms into a wonderful meatball.
My kids eat it because they like it.
Eating it means eating the sodium polyphosphate, glycerin fatty acid ester, calcium phosphate, red 3, red 102, sorbic acid, caramel color, etc. that are contained within it.
To think such things would enter the mouths of my most precious, one-of-a-kind clones! I felt goosebumps run down my spine, as if my blood was flowing backwards.
--- From the "Prologue"
How many supplements does Mr. N consume each day? Even if we exclude duplicates, the total would easily exceed 60.
The convenience store that Mr. N frequently uses literally provides a lot of convenience to our eating habits.
We have a wide variety of foods that can easily satisfy your hunger, and the prices are not too expensive.
Large grocery stores such as supermarkets and marts are not much different in that respect.
But behind that cheapness and convenience, there are additives that are indiscriminately abused.
--- From "Food Additives I Ate Today"
Why is jelly used in ham?
Why is soy protein in hamburgers?
The purpose is to increase quantity and lower unit price.
Because it only sells if it's cheap.
○○○ sauce, △△△ broth, etc. are not much different.
Its convenience may be the secret to its popularity, but its biggest appeal is its affordability.
Most consumers don't care how the food they buy is made or what ingredients are in it.
It is no exaggeration to say that I don't look at the notation at all.
Ultimately, consumers are also supporters of food additives.

Publisher's Review
Why I Can Never Let My Daughter Eat Food I Make
There is no one who does not know how harmful food additives are.
Everyone knows we shouldn't eat it, but like people who don't know anything, our hands are reaching for processed foods full of food additives.
Why is that? Because our mouths and tongues are already addicted to it.
So, if we avoid fast food and processed foods and instead eat homemade food, is it safe? Even ingredients that give our food its flavor—soy sauce, gochujang, doenjang, salt—cannot escape the trap of food additives.
Do you think the commercially available soybean paste used for soybean paste stew is made solely from soybeans and yeast? If you think it's made traditionally using only fermented soybeans and salt, you're mistaken.
Food additives are also included in soybean paste and red pepper paste without exception.
So, there is no way that soybean paste stew made with it can be safe.
Needless to say, processed foods such as fish cakes, crab meat, and ham, as well as triangle kimbap and sandwiches sold at convenience stores, are at an even more serious level.
The more delicious it is, the more food additives it contains, which is correct.
The longer the distribution period, the more food additives are added, which is correct.
If you think that the simpler the cooking, the more food additives it contains, then you are right.
If you think that the cheaper it is, the more food additives it contains, then you are correct.
The author tells an anecdote about how, when he was developing meatballs, his daughter tried to eat them, but he scolded her and told her not to.
It's terrifying to think that there are foods that you would never eat if you knew about them, and that the person who made them would never eat them.
This book reveals how the food we eat is made, the hidden side of food, and its harmful effects. It also introduces essential methods to protect our health amidst the threat of food additives.
