Nutrition plays an important role in the survival of human beings and as such the only factor why the earth continues to exist asides procreation.
And so when procreation happens, and babies are born, they latch on to the first dose of nutrition they can get from their mother
However,things do not always go to plan, a mother for some reason might not be able to breastfeed,hence the child having to depend on baby Formula for its survival.
To what percentage can we measure the safety of such products for such fragile creatures?
Are these products that we give out infants free of unnecessary radicals ?? Do we even know what is in our infant formula these days??
Nanoparticles have been known to be used in the manufacturing industry and are currently an area of intense scientific interest due to a wide variety of potential applications in biomedical, optical and electronic fields which is indeed extending towards food .
How beneficial to humanity is this advancement you might ask?
Nanoparticles are tiny little engineered particles, about 1000x thinner than a human hair!
They often possess unexpected optical properties as they are small enough to confine their electrons and produce quantum effects
Nanoparticles of titanium dioxide are used in other items like sunscreens, because they are colourless at that size and still absorb ultraviolet light
The term ‘nanotechnology’ basically describes the manipulation of things at a really, really small scale, several hundred times smaller than our blood cells.
The interesting and also the concerning thing about manipulating materials at this scale is that familiar substances change in ways that scientists may not expect or predict and that’s why we need new safety testing before nanoparticles are used in products especially food.
