Are food additives and preservatives bad for your health? Should you avoid food additives? First, make sure to get your FREE optimal Wellness and Nutrition Checklist! https://bit.ly/2JTb0wv “If there’s anything you can’t pronounce on your food label, then it shouldn’t be going into your body!” I’m sure many of you have heard this phrase before— but is it actually that simple? Well, the truth is, not really. First of all, there are tons of natural ingredients with “unpronounceable scientific names”. For instance, dihydrogen monoxide, hydric acid, or oxidane all just mean water. Sodium chloride is salt. Citric acid is naturally found in certain fruits. Secondly, even if the ingredients aren’t all-natural, are preservatives and additives really as bad as they seem? Should they be avoided at all costs? Here’s the truth on additives and preservatives, and how bad they actually are. What are additives and preservatives? Additives are compounds used to enhance the flavor, change the color, or improve the texture or appearance of a food product. Preservatives are compounds used to limit the growth of microbes on food in order to make the product last longer and prevent the food from spoiling. They are added to food items in order to give it certain beneficial properties, whether it be to preserve it, enhance the taste, add nutritional properties, transport it more easily… They’re all required to be safe for consumption by the FDA and their authorized amounts in food are limited, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be careful. Are food additives bad for your health? As with most nutrition things, the answer isn’t black or white. While some additives are banned because they’re just too harmful, others are deemed completely safe. In addition, some of them are still authorized but raise controversy. There are a few bad preservatives and additives to avoid, but also some safer food additives: I discuss all of this in my video. So should you still eat foods with preservatives and additives? As with most things, it’s all about balance. It’s good to be aware of the additives and preservatives that are bad for you and avoid them as much as possible. When you can, check the label and don’t buy the product when it contains one of the “bad” additives. However, it’s super important to keep in mind that you won’t always be able to check the label, and that’s okay. Don't forget to like this video and subscribe!
