Photograph: Alamy Anna Brones Mon 13 May 2013 12.11 BST 4,565 392 Since the horsemeat scandal, more of us than ever before are holding a microscope up to what we eat. But no matter how many labels you read, you could still be consuming things you'd rather put on your "do not eat" list. From human hair in our bread to fish bladder in our beer, there are a lot of additives and food processing techniques that employ ingredients and chemicals few would classify as "appetising". It's a reminder, frankly, that non-processed foods are your best bet. Arsenic Traces of arsenic in food are nothing new. The potent human carcinogen arsenic has been known to turn up in everything from rice to cereal to juice, and most recently German researchers found traces of it in beer, noting some levels found were more than twice than what is allowed in drinking water. Traces of arsenic can actually be found in both beers and wine that are clearer in colour. That's because they will have been filtered to get rid of plant matter and leftover yeast; most people don't want to drink a cloudy pinot grigio after all. To filter, beer and winemakers use diatomaceous earth, a natural product that contains iron and metals; hence the arsenic. Want less arsenic in your drink? Opt for drinks that are unfiltered. Human hair Amino acids are your body's building blocks, and while they can be good for your health, not all amino acids are created equal. L-Cysteine – an amino acid used to prolong shelf-life in products such as commercial bread – can be found in duck and chicken feathers and cow horns, but most that's used in food comes from human hair. It has been reported that most of the hair used to make L-Cysteine comes from China, where it's gathered from barbershops and hair salons. You can avoid L-Cysteine by buying fresh bread from a local baker, as it is not an additive in flour. Steer clear of fast food places such as McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts and Burger King too, who all use L-Cysteine as an additive. Human hair Human hair … in bread? Photograph: Romilly Lockyer/Getty Images Antifreeze Advertisement You're not drinking straight antifreeze when you down a soft drink, but if your drink of choice has propylene glycol in it you're consuming a compound that's used for everything from antifreeze to cosmetics to pharmaceuticals to electronic cigarettes. Its properties are many, so it's no surprise that chemical companies such as DOW get excited about its potential in the corporate food world. It's also a minor ingredient in Corexit, the oil dispersant that was used after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Fortunately, if you live in the European Union, propylene glycol is not cleared as a general-purpose food grade product or direct food additive. Beaver anal glands If you're eating vanilla, strawberry or raspberry ice-cream, you may just be eating beaver's anal and urine secretions. Castoreum, which comes from the castor sacs of male and female beavers, is an FDA-approved food additive popular in ice-creams, and allowed to be called "natural flavouring", meaning you probably don't know that you are eating it. Beaver Fancy an ice-cream? Photograph: Juniors Bildarchiv/Alamy Fish bladder A round of beers may sound like the perfect way to celebrate with vegetarian and vegan friends alike, but watch what beer you're drinking. Isinglass is a gelatin-like substance produced from the swim bladder of a fish. It's added to cask beers and Guinness, to help remove any "haziness" from the final product - removing any residue yeast or solid particles in the beer – which means you could end up with a trace of fish bladder in your pint glass. Coal tar Many processed foods are known for including a long list of dyes, and many of those dyes are derived from coal tar. Yellow #5, also known as tartrazine, was linked to childhood hyperactivity in 2007 and since then any product in the EU that contains it must also come with a warning label. In the US, however, there is no such regulation. Concern over the food colouring recently prompted bloggers to petition Kraft to remove the dyes from their popular macaroni cheese product. Breast implant What's in your nuggets? Photograph: Anne-Christine Poujoulat/AFP/Getty Images Silicone breast implant filler Advertisement Chicken McNuggets from McDonald's aren't known for being the healthiest thing on the planet, but they're not really known for being "chicken" either. The nuggets are actually only about 50% actual chicken; the rest comprises synthetic ingredients, including dimethylpolysiloxane, a chemical used in silicone that can be found in Silly Putty as well as breast implant filler. Boiled beetle shells Natural Red #4 may sound harmless, but the food colouring – also known as carmine – is made by boiling female cochineal insect shells in ammonia or a sodium carbonate solution. It takes about 70,000 of the bugs to produce one pound of dye. Coffee giant Starbucks got slammed in 2012 for using the additive in their frappuccinos and eventually binned it, but it's a commonly employed ingredient in many foods. The European Food Standards Authority recently included it as an additive to research more. But while some may feel queasy at the thought of consuming bugs, the synthetic alternatives to this natural dye, such as Red #2 and Red #40, are made from petroleum products. Pick your poison. Rodent hair Producing food products in an industrial facility is nothing like cooking at home, and certainly a big warehouse space is sure to be home to a few rodents here and there. Maybe that's why the US FDA allows for certain amounts of rodent hair in various products, something they call an "unavoidable defects": one rodent hair for every 100g chocolate, 22 rodent hairs for every 100g cinnamon and five rodent hairs for every 18oz jar of peanut butter. Yum. Borax Banned in the US and Canada as a food additive but allowed in the EU, borax is also known for making its way into fire-retardant, anti-fungal compounds and enamel. E285, as it's known in the food world, is used to control acidity in products as well as assist in preservation. You'll find it in some caviars – including those imported to the US – as well as various Asian noodle and rice dishes as it adds a firm, rubbery texture to foods. So. Any more for any more? It’s finally 2021 … … and never has a new year been so eagerly awaited. The Covid-19 vaccines, the Joe Biden presidency, the last-minute Brexit deal: though major challenges persist, there is cause for hope. With a fresh year on the horizon, we’re committed to providing high-impact reporting you can always depend on. Millions have turned to the Guardian for vital, independent, quality journalism throughout a turbulent and challenging 2020. Readers in 180 countries, including Canada, now support us financially. We believe everyone deserves access to information that’s grounded in science and truth, and analysis rooted in authority and integrity. That’s why we made a different choice: to keep our reporting open for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This means more people can be better informed, united, and inspired to take meaningful action. In these perilous times, a truth-seeking global news organisation like the Guardian is essential. We have no shareholders or billionaire owner, meaning our journalism is free from commercial and political influence – this makes us different. When it’s never been more important, our independence allows us to fearlessly investigate, challenge and expose those in power. In a year of unprecedented intersecting crises in 2020, we did just that, with revealing journalism that had real-world impact: the inept handling of the Covid-19 crisis, the Black Lives Matter protests, and the tumultuous US election. We have enhanced our reputation for urgent, powerful reporting on the climate emergency, and moved to practice what we preach, rejecting advertising from fossil fuel companies, divesting from oil and gas companies and setting a course to achieve net zero emissions by 2030. If there were ever a time to join us, it is now. Your funding powers our journalism, it protects our independence, and ensures we can remain open for all. You can support us through these challenging economic times and enable real-world impact. Every contribution, however big or small, makes a real difference for our future. Support the Guardian from as little as CA$1 – it only takes a minute. Thank you. Remind me in February 2021 Email address Set a reminder We will send you a maximum of two emails in February 2021.

Coffee giant Starbucks got slammed in 2012 for using the additive in their frappuccinos and eventually binned it, but it's a commonly employed ingredient in many foods. The European Food Standards Authority recently included it as an additive to research more. But while some may feel queasy at the thought of consuming bugs, the synthetic alternatives to this natural dye, such as Red #2 and Red #40, are made from petroleum products. Pick your poison. Rodent hair Producing food products in an industrial facility is nothing like cooking at home, and certainly a big warehouse space is sure to be home to a few rodents here and there. Maybe that's why the US FDA allows for certain amounts of rodent hair in various products, something they call an "unavoidable defects": one rodent hair for every 100g chocolate, 22 rodent hairs for every 100g cinnamon and five rodent hairs for every 18oz jar of peanut butter. Yum. Borax Banned in the US and Canada as a food additive but allowed in the EU, borax is also known for making its way into fire-retardant, anti-fungal compounds and enamel. E285, as it's known in the food world, is used to control acidity in products as well as assist in preservation. You'll find it in some caviars – including those imported to the US – as well as various Asian noodle and rice dishes as it adds a firm, rubbery texture to foods. So. Any more for any more? It’s finally 2021 … … and never has a new year been so eagerly awaited. The Covid-19 vaccines, the Joe Biden presidency, the last-minute Brexit deal: though major challenges persist, there is cause for hope. With a fresh year on the horizon, we’re committed to providing high-impact reporting you can always depend on. Millions have turned to the Guardian for vital, independent, quality journalism throughout a turbulent and challenging 2020. Readers in 180 countries, including Canada, now support us financially. We believe everyone deserves access to information that’s grounded in science and truth, and analysis rooted in authority and integrity. That’s why we made a different choice: to keep our reporting open for all readers, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay. This means more people can be better informed, united, and inspired to take meaningful action. In these perilous times, a truth-seeking global news organisation like the Guardian is essential. We have no shareholders or billionaire owner, meaning our journalism is free from commercial and political influence – this makes us different. When it’s never been more important, our independence allows us to fearlessly investigate, challenge and expose those in power. In a year of unprecedented intersecting crises in 2020, we did just that, with revealing journalism that had real-world impact: the inept handling of the Covid-19 crisis, the Black Lives Matter protests, and the tumultuous US election. We have enhanced our reputation for urgent, powerful reporting on the climate emergency, and moved to practice what we preach, rejecting advertising from fossil fuel companies, divesting from oil and gas companies and setting a course to achieve net zero emissions by 2030. If there were ever a time to join us, it is now. Your funding powers our journalism, it protects our independence, and ensures we can remain open for all. You can support us through these challenging economic times and enable real-world impact. Every contribution, however big or small, makes a real difference for our future.

The Nissl Bodies: Inside the dendrites, these Nissl Bodies are just merely found only in the Soma Cells. It can operate the brain's functions. Dendrites have contents like: Various Ribosomes, Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus and cytoskeletal and cytoplasmic elements and a Bunch of other elements. Other elements to be found: Purkinje-cell release gamma-aminobutyric acid That can manipulate for its machinery. Nissls bodies are involved and engaged in protein synthetic activity and are more prominent in large active nerve cells that such spinal motor neurons. All this is caused and That is how Baby's brain never works because there is no signals at a very early age. Leaving out No rules to learn for basis since they cannot read because of all this. This is how it influences society policy. The signals of a baby in fact are not designed to make their good happen: obey the rules. without that no policy and life affairs can thrive under a good condition within human society and human factor association. We do not appreciate this because If we encourage this, Accidental ruins and threats can start to arise at this point, this means our world and society policy can be in jeopardy, that results in wrecking such established conditions, That results in society bias, External preferences shall be equal is a good possibility because that only help us generate substitution of being balanced in our position and status, this is also a disease to human health, as this system is just only playing people off by Substituting an unprofessional chemical resulting in the malicious condition of making this happen, not understanding everything is an empty sense, an oblivion, a psychological disorder. There are ways to rearrange the wire systems in their brains. The Brain neurotics can be rearranged by replacing its attributes or elements or cables, it can be possible by coordinate location and substance replacement. When these signals do not be evenly distributed, That causes rules of Justice not to be evolved at all that results in a bias, in the exterior we only provide things to be equal as there shall be a reaction that can influence reputation and other human instincts or general rule abidance reference. Let's Talk about gamma-aminobutyric acid: Gamma-aminobutyric acid: What's it made of? Glutamate, decarboxylase, vitamin B6. in the cytoplasmic systems. Gamma-aminobutyric acid can bind to the Neurotic Receptors that produce a lot of signals, When that happened, It decreases the effectiveness, functioning and responsiveness and the results of the Nerve Cells. Inhibitionary Neurotransmitters, gamma-aminobutyric acid can lessen the impact of function and The power of a Nervous Cell to thrive and receive, create or send other chemical messages to different other types of nerves, (whether specified or not), scientifically. - Human anatomy* All Glycine Receptors are ionotropic Receptors that can make up this neuroscientific signal component. Because of the All the other chemicals that the presynaptic neurons that Conduct the AP, as to release one or more neurotic-transmitters that can get influenced along with Acetylcholine and Dopamine, Affecting the Postsynaptic Neurons for the nervous system that impulses across the synapses, What causes its Neurons to release transmitters are electrical potentials. These Potassium ions are found in the cells, Also Negatively charged proteins. Sodium Ions found outside the cells, A Vast amount of negative charges in the interior of its cells and Vast amount of Positive charges on the Exterior of its cells. Excitatory Neurotransmitters cause an opening or gap of the Ligand-Gated Sodium Ion channel or other chemical channels. Sodium Ions flow to provide the function of its synaptic and their cells, because of all this. Acetylcholine; An Ester of choline, can operate the function of the brain system, the dendrites, axons and the Presynaptic neurons in there can have anything to do with these chemicals because these are the ones that create this function and structure. mRNA, DNA and other Ribosomes have impact on Chemical and the Proteins that Make up the synaptic establishment. The Neuron cell membrane are partially Permeable to the Sodium Chemical Ion or Ions, so Sodium Atoms leak and leech into the Neurons, that enters the sodium leaking channel, because Substances, that are chemicals can have a scientific impact. Potassium Ions maintain at higher concentrations, at the exterior of its cells. Neurons have potassium leakage channels more intense than sodium ones. More cations can leave the cell, that lead to a negative charge in the interior cell, that can bring this. Dendrites are formed because of this and can have a condition to do with a memory role aspect. We can surely change this with other essential options that require special machines. There can be neurotechnical machines that can be used for brain mending supplies, but we do not need that here. Machines can scan your neurotics. How we can change the chemical in our brains, Chemical modification can be used to alter the brains' ability to work at a much younger age, there is a way, If we alter the Chemicals of the brain in your human body, that too of the proteins, the brain can still function double the times being effective than the brain that exists now. it never breaks down the function to work. We need to use machines. This is how we make people change their intellects and change the rules of a society. Even a baby's brain.
