The Most Dangerous Ingredients in Conventional Foods

1) Sodium nitrate. Causes cancer, found in most processed meats like hot dogs, bacon, sausage. Used to make meats appear red (a colour fixer chemical).

2) Hydrogenated oils. Cause heart disease, nutritional deficiencies, general deterioration of cellular health, and much more. Found in cookies, crackers, margarine and many “manufactured” foods. Used to make oils stay in the food, extending shelf life. Sometimes also called “plastic fat.”

3) Excitotoxins. Aspartame, monosodium glutamate (msg) and others. These neurotoxic chemical additives directly harm nerve cells, over-exciting them to the point of cell death. They’re found in diet soda, canned soup, salad dressing, breakfast sausage, and even many manufactured vegetarian foods. They’re used to add flavour to overprocessed, boring foods that have had the life cooked out of them.
