Question

STATE ANY TWO EFFECTS OF ADULTERATION OF FOOD ITEMS

Answer 1

Leads to chronic health problems:

 There are many mineral oils which when added to the food items can result in paralysis, cancer etc. If pregnant women eat such food items it might lead to abortion or even damage the brain of the baby. Sometimes zinc substances result in vomiting or in severe cases it can result in diarrhea. Food colors that are added to the items can be the reason of liver damage, allergies and lots more. Thus you can say that adulteration can bring down your health and affect the quality of life.

Increases the impurity in the food: 

As adulteration alters the composition of the food item, it increases the impurities thus making them imperfect for the consumption. If you consume such impure stuff you are bound to have side effects which can either be short-term or a long-term one.

(i) Consumption of adulterated foods leads to the deterioration of human health.
(ii) It leads to death of the human when consumed in high amounts or consuming over a long period of time.
