Bottled Salad Dressing
The compound known as sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a common additive to bottled salad dressings as a thickening agent.
However, this compound act as a precursor to cancer when present in large quantities. It is recommended that you use your homemade dressing which can be easily made from olive oil, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, honey, and mustard. This homemade option is a healthier diet with components capable of oxidizing fat.
Sugary Cereal
Without a fear of contradiction, we can confidently affirm that excess sugar is dangerous to the body system. Excess sugar is capable of triggering health issues such as obesity (which is a root cause of other deadly diseases such as diabetes and heart diseases).
The quantity of sugar found in a bowl of cereal packs is extremely high compared to that of Boston Kreme Donut. Sadly, varieties of Frosted flakes and Fruity Pebbles contains Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) and its variants that has been banned in the United Kingdom, Australia and some parts of Europe due to its carcinogenic properties.
Coffee Creamer
Both coffee creamer and sunblock contains titanium dioxide; this compound is a UV light blocker and also acts as a whitening agent. Traditional creamers and other coconut milk-based varieties labeled as “healthy†also contains this lethal substance.
Research has shown that this compound causes liver and tissue damages in mice and certainly will have undesirable effects in humans. Other typical components of coffee creamers include “trans fats†which are distributed under the orchestrated name “hydrogenated fatâ€.
Syrup
High Fructose Corn Syrup and caramel coloring are notorious for their gut-expanding and injurious properties. Unfortunately, famous syrup brands such as Aunt Jemima and Mrs. Butterworth contain these substances. You should only use a moderate amount of pure maple syrup.
Doritos
Do not take chances regarding Doritos, you should not eat them at all! This chip was made without a prevalent flavor which is capable of causing overeating. Moreover, monosodium glutamate (MSG) which is another additive in Doritos is acclaimed to increase appetite.
Foods Coated with Artificial Chocolate
The use of Polysorbate 60 is rife in the food industry. It is made from corn, palm oil, and petroleum. This gelatinous substance is not capable of spoilage and is often applied as a replacement of dairy products when making chocolate toppings and confectioneries. Polysorbate is often adulterated with 1, 4 dioxane which is a cancer causing agent.
Mac & Cheese
Most mac and cheese products in the marketplace have a signature neon color which is created by a combination of Yellow 5 and Yellow 6 dyes which are produced synthetically. Research from Center of Science and Public Interest indicate that artificial food coloring is associated with allergies, ADHD, and cancer in animals.
Surprisingly, most of these dyes are derived from coal tar, they pungent substance used in shampoos, and coating floor of industrial complexes.
Candy
Research made a couple of years ago pointed to the fact that artificial colors such as Yellow No. 5 and Yellow No. 6 which is used as a coloring agent in most candies do promote Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) in children.
These substances are outright banned in Norway and Sweden, in other EU countries, it is mandated that food containing these substances be labelled “May have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children.â€
