Not a lot of people are self-conscious about what they eat and how it may affect their health. Here are 10 ingredients you want to be mindful of at your next grocery shopping.

1. 10 Shocking Ingredients In Your
Food: What You NEED To Know
Before Your Next Trip To The
Grocery Store
Written by Drew S., CHC, AADP, Certi몭ed Health Coach
Food is your primary source of nourishment and health. What you put into your body
matters. The quest to eat healthy seems like it should be so simple, yet there is so much
deception from food companies that it is hard to know what is healthy and what isn’t.

2. As you walk through the aisle of your local grocery, you are inundated with thousands of
subtle marketing ploys. Food companies want you to buy their products, and actively
strive to mislead you into thinking that their food is healthier than it is.
You see products that boldly announce things like ‘Organic’, ‘No Trans Fats’, ‘All Natural’,
‘Gluten Free’, ‘Fat Free’ and so many other seemingly healthy terms. Consumers often
don’t realize that they are buying foods that are harmful to their health. You might think,
“it’s organic, so it must be healthy.” Unfortunately, that is not always the case.
Food Companies DON'T CARE About You
The sooner you realize this the better. Food companies are not interested in your health.
They are interested in making money. Companies shift their marketing to meet
consumer trends and demands, but they will not necessarily change much in how they
process and manufacture food. They will also go out of their way to hide unhealthy
ingredients from you.
What’s worse is the FDA allows this. They also allow numerous food additives that are
known to create major health problems. You want to know something else crazy? The
FDA also doesn’t require chemical contaminants (like rocket fuel) to be listed.

3. WHAT???
There are soooo many unsafe food additives whose names are misleading to the
uninformed consumer. Knowing this, the grocery store suddenly becomes a
landmine rather than a source of nourishment and health. You don’t know what you
are putting into your body or feeding your family. It’s no wonder there are so many
major health problems in this country.
Even if you shop in the organic/natural/whole foods section of your local grocery, you
still have to be careful. Certainly, there are many better choices there, but these sections
also have a lot of highly processed foods that are not as healthy as you might think. You
need to be very careful about ANY packaged foods you purchase. Read your labels
carefully.

4. Here are 10 dangerous ingredients to look out for:
1.Sodium Nitrate:
Sodium Nitrate is an additive used as a preservative. It is found in deli meats, hot dogs,
bacon and other processed meats. Studies have linked sodium nitrate to heart disease,
diabetes, cancer, neurological conditions, and gastrointestinal problems. If you eat
meat, stick to lean fresh meats and limit or steer clear of meats containing sodium
nitrate.
2. Azodicarbonamide:
Azodicarbonamide is an industrial chemical that is used to make rubber and synthetic
leather. It makes things foamy, so somewhere along the way, someone thought it
was a good idea to add it to bread to make is spongy! It is also used to whiten cereal
몭our. While the FDA claims that there is insu몭cient research to determine harm from
exposure to this chemical in food, it has been banned in Europe and Australia. The
World Health Organization and the CDC list respiratory issues, and skin and eye
irritation warnings, and say not to ingest. Other sources associate ingesting this
chemical with damaging hormone and immune function.
3. High fructose corn syrup:
Despite to corn industries aggressive campaign to convince us otherwise, high fructose
corn syrup is NOT a natural food – it is highly processed. It is also not the same a natural
sugar and it is not processed by the body in the same manner. Given that, coupled with
the high quantities of high fructose corn syrup hidden in our food, it creates numerous
health risks. High fructose corn syrup is linked to obesity, type II diabetes, high
blood pressure, liver disease, and heart disease. Food manufacturers know
consumers are looking for it on ingredient labels, so many now list it as fructose or
fructose syrup. It’s the same dangerous ingredient, same high quantities, just a
deceptive new name.
4. BHT (butyl hydroxytoluene)
Butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic compound used as a preservative in foods and
cosmetics. It slows the natural oxidation process, keeping foods and cosmetics from
going bad. Interestingly, if you read the MSDS (Materia Safety Data Sheet) for this
chemical, it clearly identi몭es it as a toxic substance. But it is in our food! Studies
have linked BHT to cancer in animals. “They” say that low doses are 몭ne, whereas high
doses are not, however BHT is in a ton of food products, so how do you determine high
vs. low doses? And is there a cumulative e몭ect?

5. 5. Enriched 몭our:
Essentially, enriched 몭our is 몭our that has been chemically and mechanically stripped of
all its 몭ber and nutrients, and then has a small fraction of those nutrients arti몭cially
replaced. This leaves you with a product with virtually no nutritional value whatsoever.
Due to the highly processed and depleted state, foods made with enriched 몭our are not
processed in the same manner by your body. They immediately change into sugar and
cause blood sugar and insulin spikes. This leads to numerous health risks, including
increased risk for type 2 diabetes, damage to blood vessels, high blood pressure
and increased risk for certain cancers. You may be accustomed to the texture and
taste of white breads and 몭ours, but do your health a favor and switch it up to true
whole grains.
6. Soybean oil:
The soybean has commonly been viewed as a healthy food and is a popular replacement
for animal protein. Unfortunately, the soybean and soybean oil are also linked to many
health conditions. One major problem is that the bean is commonly mass produced
with lots of carcinogenic pesticides and genetically modi몭ed. Soy and soybean oil
are linked to in몭ammation, digestive issues, allergies, malabsorption of nutrients and
protein. The oil is also partially hydrogenated, thus a trans-fat, which you know poses
numerous health risks. If you choose soy, be sure to 몭nd non-GMO, organic soy.
7. MSG
MSG is a 몭avor enhancer that is added to many foods in the US. Unless you have been
living under a rock for the past few decades, you have heard that MSG is bad for your
health. It is linked to obesity, headaches, eye damage, nausea and other health
problems. There are con몭icting studies about short and long-term e몭ects of MSG,
however sensitivities are very common. With all the unknowns and the evidence toward
health risks, you’re better of eliminating it from your diet.
8. Yellow #5 (tartrazine):
Yellow #5 is a food additive included in many foods to give it a yellow coloring. Studies
have linked this additive to a number of health considerations. These include
allergic reactions, hyperactivity, low sperm count, and cancer risks. Pay attention to
this and other food coloring additives as many of them are linked to health concerns.
9. Propylene glycol alginate:

6. Propylene glycol is a commonly used additive to foods, also a primary ingredient to
antifreeze. Research studies around this food additive have produced inconsistent
몭ndings related to health risks. Some studies have shown risks associated with
neurological issues, kidney and liver disease, and respiratory and cardiovascular disease.
Due to the con몭icting studies, there is no conclusive evidence, however is it really worth
taking the risk while the researchers 몭gure it out?
10. Polysorbate 60:
Polysorbate 60 is commonly used as a thickener in foods and cosmetics. While there is
not a lot of information available on this chemical compound, its ingredients are
linked to carcinogens and fertility issues.
The #1 Easiest Way To Avoid These Scary
Ingredients:
The scary thing is that the above list is just a few of the numerous risky chemicals and
compounds found in packaged foods. The only way to get truly healthy is to avoid these
harmful additives and know what you are putting into your (and your families) bodies.
One of the most e몭ective ways to avoid these foods is to focus on whole foods. Buy
fresh fruits and vegetables, and unprocessed meats and 몭sh if you are an omnivore.
Adding green smoothies to your diet is also an amazing way to start eating lots of
healthy, whole fruits and vegetables without worrying about the taste. Not only that, but
the nutrients in green smoothies can help reverse any damagae that has already
been caused by these hidden chemicals. Smoothies are quick and easy to make,
inexpensive and portable. They are a great solution for healthy eating overall and on the
go.
