    Food additives are substances added to food to preserve flavor or enhance properties. While additives allow for longer shelf life and consistent products, they can also cause health issues like cancer, allergies, and Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. Preservatives prevent spoilage by inhibiting microbial growth or retarding oxidative rancidity. Common synthetic preservatives are sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate, while natural preservatives include salt and sugar.
