Key Additives to Avoid and Their Health Risk
Here is a list to help you with your baby-steps to health
Hydrogenated Fats - Cardiovascular disease, obesity
Artificial Food Colors - allergies, asthma, hyperactivity, possible carcinogen
Nitrites and Nitrates - Sulfites (sulfur dioxide, metabisufites, and others) allergic and asthmatic reactions
Sugar and Sweeteners - obesity, dental cavities, diabetes and poglycemia, increased triglycerides ( blood fats ) or candida (yeast)
Artificial Sweeteners ( Aspartame, Acesulfame K and Saccharin) behavioral problems, hyperactivity, allergies, and possibly carcinogenic. The government cautions against the use of any artificial sweeteners by children and pregnant women. Anyone with PKU (phenylketonuria - a problem of phenylalanine, an amino acid, metabolism ) should not use aspartame (Nutrasweet)
MSG (monosodium glutamate) common allergic and behavioral reactions, including headaches, dizziness, chest pains, depression and mood swings; also a possible neurotoxin
Preservatives (BHA, BHT,etc.) allergic reactions, hyperactivity, possibly cancer-causing, BHT may by toxic to the nervous system and the liver
Artificial Flavors - allergic or behavioral reactions
Refined Flour - low-nutrient calories, carbohydrate imbalances, altered insulin production
Salt (excessive) - fluid retention and blood pressures increases
Olestra (an artificial fat) - diarrhea and digestive disturbances
Hope you find this helpful
