Q & A

What are the main differences between additive substances and addictive substances as mentioned in the script?

Additive substances are materials added to food to enhance its quality, flavor, or shelf-life, such as preservatives, coloring agents, and flavor enhancers. Addictive substances, on the other hand, cause dependency or addiction, such as nicotine in cigarettes or alcohol.

What are some common types of food additives, and what do they do?

Common types of food additives include colorants (like turmeric and pandan leaves), sweeteners (such as sugar and artificial sweeteners like aspartame), preservatives (like salt or chemicals such as sodium benzoate), flavor enhancers (such as MSG), and aroma agents (like vanilla and pandan). These additives improve appearance, flavor, and shelf-life of food.

How are food additives categorized based on their composition?

Food additives are categorized into two types: natural chemical additives (derived from natural sources) and artificial (synthetic) chemical additives, which are man-made.

What are the potential harmful effects of synthetic food additives?

Synthetic food additives can lead to serious health issues, such as cancer (due to formalin), kidney damage and diarrhea (from borax), neurological problems and brain tumors (from aspartame), and other adverse health effects like liver damage, hypertension, or skin allergies (from MSG).

What are the two main categories of addictive substances discussed in the script?

The two main categories of addictive substances discussed are tobacco (cigarettes) and alcoholic beverages. Both substances contain harmful chemicals that can lead to addiction and serious health issues.

What are the harmful substances found in cigarettes, and how do they affect the body?

Cigarettes contain harmful substances like nicotine and tar. Nicotine raises blood pressure and increases the risk of cancer, while tar contains toxic compounds that damage the lungs and reduce oxygen flow, leading to respiratory issues and cancer.

What are some of the psychological and physical effects of alcohol consumption?

Alcohol consumption can cause euphoria at low doses but at high doses, it depresses the central nervous system, leading to intoxication, poisoning, and potentially death. Chronic use can damage the liver, brain cells, and increase the risk of cancer.

What are the three main types of psychotropic substances, and what are their effects?

The three main types of psychotropic substances are stimulants (like methamphetamine, which activate the central nervous system), depressants (such as opioids, which slow down the nervous system), and hallucinogens (like LSD, which induce hallucinations). These substances can cause dependence and affect mental and physical health.

What are the long-term health consequences of using psychotropic substances like cocaine or amphetamines?

Long-term use of psychotropic substances such as cocaine and amphetamines can lead to severe health issues, including addiction, damage to the brain and heart, mental health disorders, and in some cases, death due to overdose or complications.

What are the signs that someone may be misusing psychotropic substances?

Signs of psychotropic substance abuse include physical symptoms like weight loss, pale skin, red eyes, and excessive sweating. Emotional signs include irritability, mood swings, and instability, while behavioral signs include neglect of responsibilities, isolation, and involvement in criminal activities.
