12 Food Additives to Avoid
Posted by: Brad LaTour in Calorie Killers & Nutrition, General Health & FitnessI saw this one on MSN Health and thought it was worthy of sharing. I think they do a good job of highlighting the additive as well as put it into context by sharing how it’s used and which foods it’s most commonly found. Some of these sound like they are straight out of the science lab, which I guess is where they started.
Some of them I’ve heard of before while others are new to me. I struggle with some of them like Equal since I add 1 packet to my coffee every day. My gut tells me that this might be one of those ‘in moderation’ scenarios but it makes you wonder. I guess the one take away is to consume as many natural and organic products as you possible can. It’s not secret that the more processed food you consume, the worse off you’ll feel.
Here’s the article, 12 Food Additives to Avoid, what do you think?

I am so glad that you pointed out this list. As a trained scientist, I can tell you, YES, some of these are straight out of the science lab. In fact, much of our food is “processed” or “engineered” for the sake of profit….not health. The more we can be aware of the little details, like “additives”, the better choices we can make. Stay tuned to my next blog on Health From the Inside Out as I will further explore this issue.
