Subject: The Top 12 Harmful Food Additives You Need To
Eliminate From Your Diet | TheZoo
First on the list is Sodium Nitrate.
Switching to turkey bacon in the morning is not good for your health.
The reason, sodium nitrate is in processed meats, such as, hot dogs,
regular bacon,
http://www.warriorfitnessworld.com/articles/2007/10/sodium_nitrite_in_processed_me.php
turkey bacon, bologna and many lunch meats.
What is sodium nitrite?
Sodium nitrite is a food additive used as a preservative. It is used to
extend the life of meats, and to prevent the growth of bacteria.
What's the problem?
Sodium nitrite is toxic. When you eat it, nitrosamines are formed. These
dangerous compounds are highly carcinogenic. During lab studies,
researchers inject these compounds into lab mice when they
want to give them c-ncer. Clearly, this is not something we should be
consuming.
Although you may be consuming less fat by eating turkey products
instead of red meat, you are not necessarily reducing your ca-cer
risk. In fact; can-er risk is thought to be higher in meat than other
foods, not simply because of the higher saturated fat content, but
because of the sodium nitrite content.
Second on the list is BHA & BHT.
http://www.ayushveda.com/dietfitness/dangerous-chemicals-in-food/
BHA and BHT stands for Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and
Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). These are food additives that are
used as a preservative to keep food from spoilage. BHA and BHT
can be found in butter, meats, chewing gum, snack foods,
dehydrated potatoes, and even beer. These additives are approved
by the FDA as safe for human consumption. However, they are
proven carcinogens. There is proof that some people have difficulty
metabolizing BHA and this can result in health and behavioral
changes.
The
http://www.reasonpad.com/2009/05/12-food-additives-to-avoid/
structure of BHA and BHT will change during this process [of
preserving food], and may form a compound that reacts in
the body, says Gerbstadt.
BHA and BHT are not stable or inert. They're not just hanging
out and being excreted by the body. Gerbstadt says that
they are obviously not added for the purpose of giving people
can-er, but for some people, some of the time, there may be
that risk.
Third on the list is Trans fats.
This one really ticks me off. & Try finding hamburgers without
trans fats in them, it is almost impossible. & Hamburgers
taste perfectly fine without them adding trans fats.
Also, those who use margarines, they may not list them in the
ingredients but, most have at least ,5% in them and sometimes
as high as .7%.
http://www.umm.edu/features/transfats.htm
trans fats are made when hydrogen gas reacts with o-l. They
can be found in cookies, crackers, icing, potato chips, stick
margarine and microwave popcorn.
About 80 percent of trans fat in American's diet comes
from factory-produce partially hydrogenated vegetable
oil.
Why are they so bad for you?
Trans fats pose a
http://www.umm.edu/features/transfats.htm
higher risk of heart di-ease than saturated fats, which
were once believed to be the worst kind of fats. While
it is true that saturated fats found in butter, cheese and
beef, for example raise total cholesterol levels, trans
fats go a step further.
Trans fats not only raise total cholesterol levels, they
also deplete good cholesterol (HDL), which helps protect
against heart dis-ase.
Fourth on the list is

Olestra

additive that Mad TV did a skit on, because of it's
nasty side effects.

QUOTE
Olestra is a fake fat, used to make non-fat potato chips
and other snacks.
You'd think, with all the bad rap fat has gotten, a
non-fat fat would be great. But Olestra has been
shown to bind with fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D
and K and carotenoids substances thought to keep the
immune system healthy and prevent some ca-cers
and to eliminate them from your system. Proctor
& G-mble, the company that produces olestra, has
acknowledged the problem with vitamins A, E, D
and K and is now fortifying it with them.
Olestra has also caused digestive upset in some
people, especially when they eat a lot of it. Often,
it's not just fat in the potato chips that causes
problems for people; it's the fact that they are
displacing healthier foods, such as fruit, so Olestra
can just perpetuate an unhealthy habit.
Fifth on the list is Propyl gallate.
This preservative,
http://www.sixwise.com/newsletters/06/04/05/12-dangerous-food-additives-the-dirty-dozen-food-additives-you-really-need-to-be-aware-of.htm
used to prevent fats and oils from spoiling, might
cause can-er.
It's used in vegetable oil, meat products, potato sticks,
chicken soup base and chewing gum, and is often
used with BHA and BHT.
Sixth on the list is Monosodium glutamate.
An amino acid used widely as a flavor enhancer in
frozen dinners, salad dressings, chips and restaurant
food. This additive is in my favorite asian foods, like
egg rolls and wontons, so I only order chinese take-out
now about once a year.
Love the taste but, I pay later feel sluggish and bloated.
MSG is
http://nikas-culinaria.com/2007/02/21/monosodium-glutamate-bad-for-your-brain-your-figure-and-your-health/#ixzz0K0LmavjD&C
now so ubiquitous in our food chain (east and west) that
you would be very hard pressed to go MSG-free. As you
would expect, junk foods and instant foods like soups and
other mixes contain MSG. Prepared food in your grocery
stores and at fast food outlets (K-C chicken skin is
massively loaded with MSG) and fine dining restaurants
alike are awash in MSG.
When you see the word citric acid in prepared food
ingredient lists, think MSG. Industrial citric acid is not
made from citrus fruits, its made from corn. Its not pure
either.
Why is

MSG is bad for you?
Early on (in the 50s) studies reported significant issues relating
to the exposure of mammals to MSG. If neonatal rats were
given a single exposure to MSG, the neurons in the inner
layer of their retina were k-lled. It was also reported that
certain parts of their brains were injured as well (the
hypothalamus). When considering various findings of MSG
exposure in the rat, remember that humans are some
5-6 times more sensitive to MSG than rats.
At one point, researchers determined that rats would be
an excellent model for the study of obesity after the
exposure to MSG. MSG is a chemoinducer of obesity, type
II diabetes and metabolic syndrome X in the rat. (lesion
of the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) by
administering monosodium glutamate) Thus, MSG is
used in the lab to induce obesity in rats.
Seventh on the list is Potassium bromate.
Potassium bromate (KBrO3) is an
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=3D1567851
oxidizing agent that has been used as a food additive, mainly
in the bread-making process. Although adverse effects
are not evident in animals fed bread-based diets made from
flour treated with KBrO3, the agent is carcinogenic in rats
and nephrotoxic in both man and experimental animals when
given orally. It has been demonstrated that KBrO3 induces
renal cell tumors, mesotheliomas of the peritoneum, and
follicular cell tumors of the thyroid. In addition, experiments
aimed at elucidating the mode of carcinogenic action have
revealed that KBrO3 is a complete carcinogen, possessing
both initiating and promoting activities for rat renal
tumorigenesis.
Eighth on the list is Aspartame. This is the artificial sugar
substitute. I don't like the aftertaste of Nutrasweet or
Equal, which is made by the
http://www.lovethetruth.com/truth_about_aspartame.htm
Mon-anto Corporation.
Although aspartame is added to over 9,000 food products,
it is not fit for human consumption! This toxic p-ison
changes into formaldehyde in the body and has been
linked to migraines, seizures, vision loss and symptoms
relating to lupus, Parkinson's Dis-ase, Multiple Sclerosis
and other health destroying conditions.
Besides being a deadly po-son, aspartame actually
contributes to weight gain by causing a craving for
carbohydrates. A study of 80,000 women by the
American Can-er Society found that those who used
this neurotoxic diet sweetener actually gained more
weight than those who didn't use aspartame products.

Monsanto's toxic sweetener on this website:

Aspartame/Nutrasweet
(aspartylphenylalanine-methyl-ester) breaks down to
its poison constituents at 86 degrees (Aspartic Acid 40%,
Phenylalanine 50%, and Methanol 10%). Remember
your stomach is at 98.6 degrees! Therefore you should
never use Aspartame/Nutrasweet in hot beverages or
cooked foods such as Jell-O. How the FDA allows this
remains a mystery. There is mounting evidence that the
Burning Mouth Syndrome experienced by the Desert
Storm troops was actually Met-anol poi-oning from
the Diet Co-e they drank lots of, after being exposed
to desert temperatures.
