Zat Beracun Yang Kita Konsumsi

February 1, 2012

Lapar.com – Sering tidak kita sadari bahwa dalam Makanan yang kita konsumsi sehari-hari ternyata mengandung zat-zat kimia yang bersifat racun, baik itu sebagai pewarna, penyedap rasa dan dan bahan campuran lain. Za-zat kimia ini berpengaruh terhadap tubuh kita dalam level sel, sehingga kebanyakan kita akan mengetahui dampaknya dalam waktu yang lama

Dampak negatif yang bisa terjadi adalah dapat memicu kanker, kelainan genetik, cacat bawaan ketika lahir, dan lain-lain. Tidak ada cara untuk menghindar 100% dari bahan-bahan kimia itu dalam kehidupan kita sehari-hari, yang perlu kita lakukan adalah meminimalkan penggunaannya sehingga tidak melewati ambang batas yang disarankan. Karena selain banyak tersedia di pasaran, bahan-bahan tersebut juga harganya yang relatif sangat murah.

Berikut adalah contoh bahan-bahan yang bersifat racun yang sering kita jumpai dalam kehidupan sehari-hari :

1. Sakarin (Saccharin)

Sakarin adalah bubuk kristal putih, tidak berbau dan sangat manis, kira-kira 550 kali lebih manis dari pada gula biasa. Oleh karena itu ia sangat populer dipakai sebagai bahan pengganti gula.

Tikus-tikus percobaan yang diberi makan 5% sakarin selama lebih dari 2 tahun, menunjukkan kanker mukosa kandung kemih (dosisnya kira-kira setara 175 gram sakarin sehari untuk orang dewasa seumur hidup).

Sekalipun hasil penelitian ini masih kontroversial, namun kebanyakan para epidemiolog dan peneliti berpendapat, sakarin memang meningkatkan derajat kejadian kanker kandung kemih pada manusia kira-kira 60% lebih tinggi pada para pemakai, khususnya pada kaum laki-laki.

Food and Drug Administation (FDA) Amerika menganjurkan untuk membatasi penggunaan sakarin hanya bagi para penderita kencing manis dan obesitas. Dosisnya agar tidak melampaui 1 gram setiap harinya.’

2. Siklamat (Cyclamate)

Siklamat adalah bubuk kristal putih, tidak berbau dan kira-kira 30 kali lebih mains dari pada gula tebu (dengan kadar siklamat kira-kira 0,17%). Bilamana kadar larutan dinaikkan sampai dengan 0,5%, maka akan terasa getir dan pahit.

Siklamat dengan kadar 200 mg per ml dalam medium biakan sel leukosit dan monolayer manusia (in vitro) dapat mengakibatkan kromosom sel-sel tersebut pecah. Tetapi hewan percobaan yang diberi sikiamat dalam jangka lama tidak menunjukkan pertumbuhan ganda.

Di Inggris penggunaan siklamat untuk makanan dan minuman sudah dilarang, demikian pula di beberapa negara Eropa dan Amerika Serikat

3. Nitrosamin

Sodium nitrit adalah bahan kristal yang tak berwama atau sedikit semu kuning. Ia dapat berbentuk sebagai bubuk, butir-butir atau bongkahan dan tidak berbau. Garam ini sangat digemari, antara lain untuk mempertahankan warna asli daging serta memberikan aroma yang khas seperti sosis, keju, kornet, dendeng, ham, dan lain-lain.

Untuk pembuatan keju dianjurkan supaya kandungan sodium nitrit tidak melampaui 50 ppm, sedangkan untuk bahan pengawet daging dan pemberi aroma yang khas bervariasi antara 150 – 500 ppm.

Sodium nitrit adalah precursor dari nitrosamines, dan nitrosammes sudah dibuktikan bersifat karsinogenik pada berbagai jenis hewan percobaan. Oleh karena itu, pemakaian sodium nitrit harus hati-hati dan tidak boleh melampaui 500 ppm.

Makanan bayi sama sekali dilarang mengandung sodium nitrit

4. Zat Pewarna Sintetis

Dari hasil pengamatan di pasar-pasar ditemukan 5 zat pewarna sintetis yang paling banyak digemari di Indonesia adalah warna merah, kuning, jingga, hijau dan coklat.

Dua dari lima zat pewarna tersebut, yaitu merah dan kuning adalah Rhodamine-B dan metanil yellow. Kedua zat pewarna ini termasuk golongan zat pewarna industri untuk mewarnai kertas, tekstil, cat, kulit dsb. dan bukan untuk makanan dan minuman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian kedua zat warna tersebut kepada tikus dan mencit mengakibatkan limfoma.

Selain itu, boraks, juga merupakan zat pewarna favorit yang sering digunakan oleh produsen makanan.

5. Monosodium Glutamat (MSG)

Monosodium glutamat (MSG) atau vetsin adalah penyedap masakan dan sangat populer di kalangan para ibu rumahtangga, warung nasi dan rumah Makan. Hampir setiap jenis makanan masa kini dari mulai camilan untuk anak-anak seperti chiki dan sejenisnya, mie bakso, masakan cina sampai makanan tradisional sayur asam, lodeh dan bahkan sebagian masakan padang sudah dibubuhi MSG atau vetsin.

Pada hewaan percobaan, MSG dapat menyebabkan degenerasi dan nekrosi sel-sel neuron, degenerasi dan nekrosis sel-sel syaraf lapisan dalam retina, menyebabkan mutasi sel, mengakibatkan kanker kolon dan hati, kanker ginjal, kanker otak dan merusak jaringan lemak.

Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies

January 22, 2012

Low-cal cookies, you say? Can there be such a thing? Absolutely! These scrumptious Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies have no added sugar, reduced fat, and plenty of healthy dietary fiber. They weigh in around 110 calories each, which is a mere trifle when compared with most cookies you can make or purchase. The best part is their taste – the sweet, rich flavors of peanut butter and maple syrup mingle with banana and raisins for a diet cookie you simply can’t beat.
Low-cal cookies are sometimes made with no eggs, which has the effect of reducing the calories a bit, as well as lowering the cholesterol content. This recipe is egg-free by nature, but there are a number of things you can use in place of eggs in most of your favorite cookie recipes. One very simple way to replace an egg is to combine two tablespoons of water with one tablespoon of oil and two teaspoons of baking powder. Mix them all together well with a whisk before adding to your recipe. Not only do these ingredients work well in place of eggs in most cake and cookie recipes, but they’re absolutely calorie free. Another trick is to use one half of a ripe banana mashed well with half a teaspoon of baking soda to replace an egg. This method doesn’t reduce the calories much, but absolutely reduces the fat and cholesterol in the recipe, and has the effect of adding a little bonus potassium to your baked goods.
Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
1/3 cup peanut butter (use reduced fat and sugar varieties for an even healthier cookie) 2 bananas, ripe 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 2 tablespoons milk or soymilk 2 tablespoons sugar-free maple syrup 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/3 cup raisins 1/4 cup flour
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until fairly smooth. Add the peanut butter, milk product, vanilla, and maple syrup and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until well combined.
Drop heaping teaspoons of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake 13-16 minutes at 350 degrees, or until the bottoms turn golden brown.
