Food Additives to Avoid

If you have ever been to one of Jennifer Glacken’s nutrition seminars, you know that she shares a list of the top ten additives to avoid.

Additives to avoid:

• Aspartame (Nutrasweet, Equal) – a known neurotoxin

• BHA, BHT, TBHQ (Used as a preservative) – causes aggressive behavior in laboratory animals

• Blue #1, Blue #2 (Banned in Finland)

• BVO (Brominated Vegetable Oil) Emulsifier/clouding agent – Bromate is a poison

• Citrus Red #2 (Carcinogen)

• MSG and Quinine – triggers asthma attacks and headaches

• Red #3, Red #40 (Carcinogen) Banned in 1990 until supplies run out

• Saccharin (Banned 10 years ago) – known carcinogen

• Sodium Nitrate (Preservative to prevent spoilage) – converts into nitrites in the gastrointestinal tract. Nitrates are cancer causing compounds

• Yellow #6 – Banned in Norway and Sweden

 

“Avoid red light additives – keep in mind that food dyes and colorings and other red light additives are usually found in nutritionally inferior junk food products and in other products that are made with inferior ingredients." (Diet for a Poisoned Planet by David Steinman)
