“Since the last 20 years, a permanent concern in Western populations deals with nanomaterials. The latter were shown to accumulate in different organs and are suspected of causing cancers. Part of them comes from our food consumption.”

According to the same source …

“Amorphous synthetic silica (SAS) is the most famous nanomaterial used in food. There are various forms of amorphous silica: colloidal silica, precipitated silica, silica gels, and pyrogenic (fumed) silica. Amorphous silica is synthetically produced either by a vapor-phase hydrolysis process, yielding pyrogenic (fumed) silica, or by a wet process, yielding precipitated silica, silica gel, and colloidal silica.”

We might as well be eating Soylent Green. At least it would be healthier for us.

Unless it were tenderized and preserved with engineered inorganic nanoparticles.
