Sulfite in Jaggery

I don't know what makes people sad,

no appreciation from others?

that's of least concern for me.

Sulfite in the expensive jaggery,

I bought to make sweets for the kids,

made me angry.

Sulfite is my nemesis.

my body can handle a lot of stress,

but it can't tolerate chemical stress,

as food preservatives.

Skin tends to itch, nostrils tingle,

windpipe tightens, brain feels foggy.

That's immune system saying:

Chemical intruder. Avoid.

To see it in

a traditional food ingredient as jaggery

made me really sad.

Most of you will not understand it,

but as a health researcher-writer,

I can't not shed light on threats of current times.

It deserves everybody's attention.
