Are we the problem?
My research question is asking ,” Is the population taking enough precaution in what we eat in order to keep our health in good condition ?” This topic was a hard topic to research because I had to really find the main roots to our food processing. I learned the main source of many food productions today is corn. Corn can be alternated in diverse forms. It can also be used in replace of sugar. High fructose corn syrup, for example is a common sweetener that many manufactures use instead of sugar because it is cheaper to process and less expensive for federal budget. Although, what we Fail to realize is that it puts us at risk because of the amount of hidden sweeteners( high fructose corn syrup, aspartame, sucralose) used in foods, leads to common diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and High cholesterol. When we just eat whatever we see without taking our health in consideration we risk the cause of diabetes. I would consider thinking about all the foods you consume and make sure you being wise about what you are putting in your mouths.

That's very interesting to know. It seems hard, but you got this. It's a good topic.
ReplyDeleteI like how you being up the point of getting different diseases because of what we put into our bodies and how it goes back on what is in our foods. Most people don't think about the different sweeteners that are used in the majority of our foods now. Although, for the people that do think about it, they can still get around it by reading the labels to see what's in the food. On the other hand it is very easy to skip over those details and just eat it. Diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure can all be avoided by proper diet and portions, but I feel that the main weakness is in the lack of knowledge that people have for the foods. People don't seem to understand the significance that food really has on our bodies and you are right when you say that people should think and be wise about what they are consuming daily.
