  The Shocking Truth about...

  Artificial food ingredients are substances added to food during processing to enhance its flavor, appearance, texture, or shelf life. These ingredients, often synthesized in laboratories, are designed to mimic or replace natural components found in food. Over the years, the use of artificial ingredients has become ubiquitous in the food industry, from sweeteners and colorings to preservatives and flavor enhancers. The advent of these additives can be traced back to the early 20th century when the demand for processed and mass-produced food grew, and there was a need to improve food preservation and make products more appealing to consumers. 
  Artificial ingredients serve a variety of functions. Preservatives, for example, help extend the shelf life of food, reducing waste and allowing for the distribution of perishable items over long distances. Flavor enhancers, like monosodium glutamate (MSG), make food taste better and more consistent across large batches. Artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame and sucralose, provide a sugar-like taste without the added calories, making them popular in diet foods and drinks. Colorants, like Red 40 or Yellow 5, make food more visually appealing, often by mimicking the vibrant hues of natural ingredients. 
  While these additives are generally considered safe by food safety agencies such as the FDA, there is ongoing debate about their long-term effects on health. Over the past few decades, concerns have been raised about potential links between artificial ingredients and various health issues, including allergies, hyperactivity in children, and chronic conditions such as obesity and cancer. Despite the lack of conclusive evidence proving harmful effects in the general population, some studies suggest that certain individuals, particularly those with sensitivities, may experience adverse reactions to specific additives.

  This is the untold story of an epic theme park mania that roiled East Asia for three decades. 
  Everyone knows the economic version of the story: Japan, Korea, and China industrialized at lightning speed. These export powerhouse developed mighty infrastructure bases and global conglomerates the envy of the world. Their ascent to economic domination was uncannily sequential. 
  But fewer realize that each country's path to prosperity has also involved a meandering, hallucinatory path through a theme park. Beginning in the 1990s, Japan, Korea, and China were gripped by a feverish pursuit of theme park grandeur. Over the next 30 years, some of the largest, most fantastical wonderlands ever conceived were built, destroyed, and dreamed. 
  While all manias reveal human foibles and absurdity, this story is also a deeply human one about unbridled hope and staggering ambition.
