10 Shocking Ingredients In Your Food What You
NEED To Know Before Your Next Trip To The
Grocery Store Written by Drew S., CHC, AADP,
Certi ed Health Coach
Food is your primary source of nourishment and
health. What you put into your body matters. The
quest to eat healthy seems like it should be so
simple, yet there is so much deception from food
companies that it is hard to know what is
healthy and what isnt.
As you walk through the aisle of your local
grocery, you are inundated with thousands of
subtle marketing ploys. Food companies want you
to buy their products, and actively strive to
mislead you into thinking that their food is
healthier than it is.

I'm a certi ed health coach and nutrition
expert. My goal is to take the confusion out of
healthy living and make it simple for everyone.
You see products that boldly announce things like
Organic, No Trans Fats, All Natural,
Gluten Free, Fat Free and so many other
seemingly healthy terms. Consumers often dont
realize that they are buying foods that are
harmful to their health. You might think, its
organic, so it must be healthy. Unfortunately,
that is not always the case.

The sooner you realize this the better. Food
companies are not interested in your health. They
are interested in making money. Companies shift
their marketing to meet consumer trends and
demands, but they will not necessarily change
much in how they process and manufacture food.
They will also go out of their way to hide
unhealthy ingredients from you.

Whats worse is the FDA allows this. They also
allow numerous food additives that are known to
create major health problems. You want to know
something else crazy? The FDA also doesnt
require chemical contaminants (like rocket fuel)
to be listed.
WHAT???
There are soooo many unsafe food additives whose
names are misleading to the uninformed consumer.
Knowing this, the grocery store suddenly becomes
a landmine rather than a source of nourishment
and health. You dont know what you are putting
into your body or feeding your family. Its no
wonder there are so many major health problems in
this country. Even if you shop in the
organic/natural/whole foods section of your local
grocery, you still have to be careful.
Certainly, there are many better choices there,
but these sections also have a lot of highly
processed foods that are not as healthy as you
might think. You need to be very careful about
ANY packaged foods you purchase. Read your labels
carefully.

Here are 10 dangerous ingredients to look out
for 1.Sodium Nitrate
Sodium Nitrate is an additive used as a
preservative. It is found in deli meats, hot
dogs, bacon and other processed meats. Studies
have linked sodium nitrate to heart disease,
diabetes, cancer, neurological conditions, and
2
gastrointestinal problems. If you eat meat, stick
to lean fresh meats and limit or steer clear of
meats containing sodium nitrate.
2. Azodicarbonamide
Azodicarbonamide is an industrial chemical that
is used to make rubber and synthetic leather. It
makes things foamy, so somewhere along the way,
someone thought it was a good idea to add it to
bread to make is spongy! It is also used to
whiten cereal our. While the FDA claims that
there is insu cient research to determine harm
from exposure to this chemical in food, it has
been banned in Europe and Australia. The World
Health Organization and the CDC list respiratory
issues, and skin and eye irritation warnings, and
say not to ingest. Other sources associate
ingesting this chemical with damaging hormone and
immune function.
3. High fructose corn syrup
Despite to corn industries aggressive campaign to
convince us otherwise, high fructose corn syrup
is NOT a natural food it is highly processed.
It is also not the same a natural sugar and it is
not processed by the body in the same manner.
Given that, coupled with the high quantities of
high fructose corn syrup hidden in our food, it
creates numerous health risks. High fructose
corn syrup is linked to obesity, type II
diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease,
and heart disease. Food manufacturers know
consumers are looking for it on ingredient
labels, so many now list it as fructose or
fructose syrup. Its the same dangerous
ingredient, same high quantities, just a
deceptive new name.
4. BHT (butyl hydroxytoluene)
Butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic
compound used as a preservative in foods and
cosmetics. It slows the natural oxidation
process, keeping foods and cosmetics from going
bad. Interestingly, if you read the MSDS (Materia
Safety Data Sheet) for this chemical, it clearly
identi es it as a toxic substance. But it is in
our food! Studies have linked BHT to cancer in
animals. They say that low doses are ne,
whereas high doses are not, however BHT is in a
ton of food products, so how do you determine
high vs. low doses? And is there a cumulative e
ect?
5. Enriched our
Essentially, enriched our is our that has been
chemically and mechanically stripped of all its
ber and nutrients, and then has a small fraction
of those nutrients arti cially replaced. This
leaves you with a product with virtually no
nutritional value whatsoever. Due to the highly
processed and depleted state, foods made with
enriched our are not processed in the same
manner by your body. They immediately change into
sugar and cause blood sugar and insulin spikes.
This leads to numerous health risks, including
increased risk for type 2 diabetes, damage to
blood vessels, high blood pressure and increased
risk for certain cancers. You may be accustomed
to the texture and taste of white breads and
ours, but do your health a favor and switch it up
to true whole grains.
6. Soybean oil
The soybean has commonly been viewed as a healthy
food and is a popular replacement for animal
protein. Unfortunately, the soybean and soybean
oil are also linked to many health conditions.
One major problem is that the bean is commonly
mass produced with lots of carcinogenic
pesticides and genetically modi ed. Soy and
soybean oil are linked to in ammation, digestive
issues, allergies, malabsorption of nutrients and
protein. The oil is also partially hydrogenated,
thus a trans-fat, which you know poses numerous
health risks. If you choose soy, be sure to nd
non-GMO, organic soy.
7. MSG
MSG is a avor enhancer that is added to many
foods in the US. Unless you have been living
under a rock for the past few decades, you have
heard that MSG is bad for your health. It is
linked to obesity, headaches, eye damage, nausea
and other health problems. There are con icting
studies about short and long-term e ects of MSG,
however sensitivities are very common. With all
the unknowns and the evidence toward health
risks, youre better of eliminating it from your
diet.
8. Yellow 5 (tartrazine)
Yellow 5 is a food additive included in many
foods to give it a yellow coloring. Studies have
linked this additive to a number of health
considerations. These include allergic reactions,
hyperactivity, low sperm count, and cancer
risks. Pay attention to this and other food
coloring additives as many of them are linked to
health concerns.
9. Propylene glycol alginate
Propylene glycol is a commonly used additive to
foods, also a primary ingredient to antifreeze.
Research studies around this food additive have
produced inconsistent ndings related to health
risks. Some studies have shown risks associated
with neurological issues, kidney and liver
disease, and respiratory and cardiovascular
disease. Due to the con icting studies, there is
no conclusive evidence, however is it really
worth taking the risk while the researchers gure
it out?
10. Polysorbate 60
3
Polysorbate 60 is commonly used as a thickener in
foods and cosmetics. While there is not a lot of
information available on this chemical compound,
its ingredients are linked to carcinogens and
fertility issues.
The 1 Easiest Way To Avoid These Scary
Ingredients
