THE LAND IS THEIRS!!!

🗣️Have you ever heard of caustic soda? You might have seen this chemical substance on the back side of the many household cleaning products, especially those designed to tackle tough grime, grease, and clogs. But, did you know that it's also being used in the foods and food industry? Don't be shocked. It's true. Read more to learn more.👇🏼👇🏼 💡🗣️Caustic soda is a chemical compound which is also known as sodium hydroxide, and is often found in various household and industrial applications. When you think of cleaning agents, think of caustic soda. It's an important element in many drain cleaners or oven cleaners. The power of this solution is that it can dissolve the greases and oils with minimal amounts by breaking them into simpler compounds that can be washed away with water. The interesting fact is that its applications are beyond the kitchen sink. Sodium hydroxide solution has also been used in heavy duty cleaning, paper manufacturing, or even in the soap and detergent production. Now, let's talk about food. You might be surprised, but sodium hydroxide plays an interesting role here too. It is used in processing olives to remove bitterness and in peeling of fruits and vegetables for easy removal. It's also being used in some dishes to give it a shiny and brown crust. Food-grade caustic soda must be used under strictly controlled conditions to ensure safety, as it is a powerful chemical that, in high concentrations, can be corrosive and harmful if ingested or if it comes in direct contact with skin or eyes. As I always say, Never take any chemical substances for granted. Always give priority to its properties, hazards and others as appropriate, prior to handling such substances. You must refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet of the respective chemicals for safety guidelines, issued by manufacturers. It must be handled with care due to its highly alkaline nature, meaning it has a high pH level on a scale that goes from 0 to 14. Anything below 7 on this scale is considered acidic, like lemon juice or vinegar. At exactly 7, you have neutral substances, such as pure water. Above 7, we move into alkaline or basic territory, where you might find things like caustic soda solution. Hope you like this content.

Folic acid in flour will mask cases of B12 deficiency which will lead to harm. It is being put into our flour and will be mandated in all white flour inc imported and organic from December. May Georgina RIP.

Just blindly planting thousands of trees to hit targets can end in disaster, as was shown by a scheme in Cambridgeshire, where 860,000 trees were planted, three-quarters of which died within a year of being put in the ground because of a lack of aftercare. trib.al/WN0AMwd

Couldn't believe it myself when I realised a few months ago. Waitrose, today had loads of Palm oil free products everywhere. Well done! Climate change and Human health. Treat Palm oil like the Plague seriously!

Thank you Waitrose. Apart from deforestation. Main concern with Palm oil is that is very dangerous to us ⚠️. In the Palm oil industrial process. They use caustic soda, bleach and petroleum in the process of refining the product. That's right, it's in the🌴 oil.
