EINNEWS, December 6—What you don’t know about the food you eat is seldom good for you. But when that food gets down to particles so small they can even enter the nucleus of your body cells, it’s time to really worry.
An article published in NaturalNews.com reveals that the food industry is researching, quietly, the creation of nanoparticle-modified food that could make fat-free foods taste like full-fat foods. The object, they say, would be to help people lose weight by eating healthier food and enjoying it more.
NaturalNews.com quotes a researcher as saying “Since these particles are very small they can…enter cells or even the nucleus of a cell if they have the right characteristics.”
By altering the “nano-structure” of food, researchers believe they can program food to make people feel fuller faster and to time the release of food nutrients to help with digestion.
Alterations in food chemistry already create artificial flavors that are common in everyday food products.
But nanotechnology is taking food production into the unknown and the European Union is taking steps to see that any products that do appear are regulated and labeled.
