不久前,央视曝光了一些萨其马中使用硼砂的黑幕,再次引发了公众对于食品添加剂的关注。其实,在东南亚和中国的一些地区,把硼砂添加到食物中有着相当久远的历史。有位美国人曾经在网上发问,说他的太太来自台湾,做米粉的时候会加入一些奇怪的原料,比如硼砂。他想知道硼砂究竟是什么东西,会不会有害健康。 Not long ago, CCTV exposed some of the shady scenes of borax used in Saqqa, again raising the public’s concern for food additives. In fact, there are quite a long history of adding borax to food in parts of Southeast Asia and China. An American once asked online to say that his wife came from Taiwan and added strange raw materials such as borax when making rice noodles. He wondered what borax is and would not be harmful to health.
