According to the European commission, food additives are substances added intentionally to food to perform certain technological functions, like to color, to sweeten or to preserve. Food additives can also do more then that, which can be a bad thing. Though food additives can make food look better and even last longer, food additives can create antibiotic resistance, food allergies and hyperactivity. The worst thing about food additives is that it creates antibiotic resistance in humans. This means it will resist any antibiotic that you will take and many people can become immune to important medicines that could have saved their lives. How all this happens is “Giant agricultural businesses pack together cattle by the hundreds to thousands, necessitating the use of germ-fighting antibiotics that we end up swallowing.” (Hawaleska). This result of their care could affect a lot of people. is this good?
If this is for a school report,you may want to cite a specific reference or two when it comes to supporting the claim that food additives can eventually create super germs(since you state that they will have antibiotic resistance). If there were any studies done my colleges or hospitals on this. You want to list their findings if it offers some sort of evidence to back up what you're writing.
