any substance that, when
added to food, becomes part of the food or
alters the characteristics of the
food.

variety of safe, tasty,
and convenient foods
year-round, without
having to shop daily
preserve
___________ food
additives do not contribute
to the nutritive value of
foods and are not foods
themselves.

For example, ______________ is a salt added to
cured meat and poultry
products as a preservative
agent. It is responsible for
the pink or red colour of
meats such as bacon and
hot dogs.
potassium nitrite
In Canada, food
additives are regulated
by the ____________ and may be
classified according to
use.
Food and Drugs
Act (FDA)
caffine causes changes
in the chemicals of the
brain, mainly in two
ways:
- It mimics adenosine, and binds to all the
adenosine receptors in your brain. This prevents the real adenosine from doing its job, which happens to be the slowing down of nerve impulses and the causing of drowsiness. So your brain becomes more alert - Caffeine also increases the levels of dopamine in your brain, which improves your feeling of well-being and improves your mood. It is this dopamine
effect that is the root of caffeine’s addictive
properties.
Withdrawal Symptoms
Can begin as soon as
12 hours after stopping
your intake. They are
at their worst after ________
24 –48 hours and can last
for up to a week.
Symptoms of withdrawal
include:
irritable
restless
muscle stiffness
difficulty concentrating
headaches, moderate to severe
chills and/or hot spells
Symptoms of caffeine
“overdose” include:
Jitteriness
difficulty sleeping
headaches
anxiety
flushed face
nausea
accelerated heartbeat
- In recent years, there seems to be an increase in
food allergies associated with additives in food
products. Should additives for appearances, be
banned? Example the colour in Fruit Loops.
Instead of an outright ban, it could be more beneficial to enhance labeling regulations to provide clearer information about additives, their potential health effects, and allergen risks. This empowers consumers to make informed choices based on their individual dietary needs and sensitivities. (need more study and evidence for the link to completely ban)
