Nanotech: The Latest Threat to Eating Whole Grains, Fruits and Veggies?

The health-conscious buyers nowadays are trying to get more privy with their food choices including whole grains, fruits and vegetables. The recent whole grains campaign have led to a myriad of questions on where and how a certain produce is made. Even the way foods are shipped into the local super mart becomes just as important as its nutritional value.

There have already been debates about “http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetically_modified_organism” target=”_blank”>GMO or genetically-modified crops and many are raising their eyebrows on the advent of nanotechnology. There is not enough study made on this area and many still fear the hidden risks in using this new method in making smart foods.

You might not have noticed but nanotechnology is present in some of the foods you eat. These are tiny particles which can extend your food’s shelf life, enhance its colors and flavors, add greater nutritional values and sense bacterial contamination.

Nanotechnology is the latest player in the food industry, reconstructing your food at the atomic level. This process is so powerful that it can alter food products into hundreds of possibilities that transcends physical laws.

Here are the Top Reasons How Nanotech can Help in Giving More Value to Your Grains, Fruits and Veggies:

Better Nutrients

Nano-nutrients or particles are totally soluble, creating an opportunity for nutritional drinks which are equal or better than its whole food counterpart. This also means better absorption of essential vitamins, antioxidants, phytonutrients and minerals to every cell of your body. You only get the best superfood solution for maximum health.

Contaminant-Free

Studies show that nanotech aids in catching pathogens in your food and getting rid of it for good. When many people are suffering the woes of Salmonella in food, nanotechnology helps make these foods safe to consume. The nanoparticles can also be used to identify bacteria and get rid of it.  This means having a peace of mind from all those nasty microbes in your dish.

Better Food Packaging and Storage

Those nano-sensors in your food can help determine bacteria and spoilage. Nanotech can make an edible food film for perishable goods, which allows it to have a better shelf life. This means getting your food as fresh as it can be, or even better.

Pesticide-Free

Unlike GMO crops which are laced with copious amounts of pesticides, nanotech can reduce the impact of these harmful substances on food by creating better ways to enhance organic farming.

Better Flavor

Shrinking your favorite grains, fruits and veggies into nano crystals means getting a compact version of your whole foods, without sacrificing the healthful benefits. Designing smart foods that fit every consumer’s taste is a dream come true for many. For example, calcium particles can be added for those suffering osteoporosis.

Eco-Friendly

All those plant-based biodegradable plastics have been made, thanks to nanotechnology. This means seeing an advent in natural polymers that will take sustainable living into its novel meaning.

Just because we don’t understand how a process works means that we have to shun it, for good. With the ever-increasing need to sustain the growing populace, nanotech might just be that miracle solution for our demanding lifestyle of staying healthy and fit.

  1. You have to go through the whole gliding sequence. Then, when you reach the final room, turn hard and go back through the whole thing. When you arrive back in the room with the nanotech, pull up quickly and you should get it.

    that is what this kind of technology should be used for. not for keeping track of mans every move or for use in debilitating anothers mind or for biological warfare.

    Nanotechnology and nanomachines are incredibly difficult and expensive to make. As it is, you pretty much have to place every atom by hand. If you have to ask this question on yahoo answers, the answer is without a doubt no. You don't have the resources or know-how to build nanomachines.

    If you have a degree – or any extra qualification – then you'll already be in front of of the crowd when it comes to looking for professions. My mate has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, but he discovered some good tips and tricks on the site in the resource box below which aided him to settle that he wanted to be a lab assistant. There is plenty of assistance on the site regarding extra professions.

    don’t worry … i feel it in all my hart that it is time for a second renascence for human kind… and that all countries will start anew … in a debt free society …

    nwo is going down … and we are simple witnesses to the change of our society … for this millennia. Because it’s all destiny as i learned science has proven.. and i can’t think of any reason behind His grand plan other then this :)

    Nanotechnology like single-cell sized robots, are popular in science fiction, but beyond today's technology. Many research efforts are under way, but thousands of inventions and developments will need to happen before they become a reality.

    The theory may be there, but the theory doesn't buy you anything. How many decades from the theory of a jet engine to the first jet fighter?

    Some technologies that need to be developed: very small motors, very small computers, very small optical or chemical sensors, assembly of molecular scale devices.

    Once it gets close, be assured that the pharmaceutical companies will be working hard to make it a reality. They would love to be able to sell it to you.

    The term perhaps that best describes the trend is investor over exuberance. Investors just love to jump on the latest craze. I expect that 90% of nano companies will no longer be around in 5 years as happenend to biotechnology a few years ago. Also remember that early 2000 was the top of the tech bubble. Everything was way overprices. Don't you wish you had sold a few of them short at the top? The darn problem is trying to figure out where the top is.

    what where do u have that nonesense from

    Clothing. The clothing will be made to change colors based on the day, or repair itself, clean itself, or even reweave itself into new shapes. Not only will clothing become more "fashionable", but it will become safer too. If someone were to scrape a knee, the clothing might even be designed to harden as the clothing hit the surface.

    ok all good then. i too am sorry to hear of ur situation pally.
    and yes. good things in life are hard to come by. more people need to think about the good things, not always the bad like alot of people do!
    go study, and ur fiery attutude may serve u well over there. well… here’s hopin anyway! loggin off now too, goodnight u two. beer and halo 3 here i come baby yea!

    nanotechnology is alien technology, alien-made, not man-made ! we need to seriously question this type of technology because there’s alot of negative uses for this stuff, & they’re keeping this type of technology out of public inquiry !
    they can also latch on to your neurons & use frequencies to change your perceptions of your environment !

    I'm not sure about cars in our pockets, but nanotech is already happening, and yes it is changing our lives. In its simplest form, materials tailored at the nanolevel (a primitive nanotech) are already in stores. Nanomedicine, especially lab-on-a-chip technology is partially available and promises to revolutionize the way we do medicine. I don't know about some of the crazier promises (smart fog and such), but research at the nanoscale is changing our lives and will continue to do so.

  17. You have to buy it. It's a drink I think that you buy out of a machine and it gives you another Nanotech. The first one is one the planet that is green and you need to wear that helmet to breathe.
