Dangers of Common Food Additives<\/span><\/strong>
\n
\nThey can wreck your recipe results!
\nNot only your health.
\n<\/span>
\nWatch out for additives, gums and emulsifiers, in plant
\nbased milk. Most milks have one or more. You will have
\ncongealed baked goods instead of light and fluffy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

They can make you feel sick or cause itching anywhere<\/span>
\non your body. Many food additives can cause allergies<\/span>
\nor intolerances.<\/span><\/p>\n

To Know what’s in your food…READ THE LABELS!<\/span><\/p>\n

When an ingredient is listed on the label, it is more than 2%<\/span>
\nof the contents, but how much more? (half a teaspoon?<\/span>
\na teaspoon, a tablespoon?) How much is ‘too much’<\/em> in your<\/span>
\ndaily diet?<\/span><\/p>\n

My friends know I started this website to show everyone how\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>
\nquick, easy, and delicious it is to cook real food from scratch,<\/strong>
\ngluten-free and dairy-free.<\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\nYou don’t need to settle for dangerous food additives that <\/span><\/strong>
\nleave you wondering if you ate something that didn’t agree <\/span><\/strong>
\nwith you. You’ll see these next 2 additives on every second
\npackage <\/span><\/strong>of common prepared food. (Yes, there are more).<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>
\n\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know…Up to 2% of any chemical can be added
\n‘unlisted!’ <\/em><\/span><\/strong>on a package, unless it is a proven allergen?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks to the following article you may be spared of many<\/span>
\nuncomfortable or even deadly food reactions.<\/span>
\n(Medical News Today.com<\/a>) It’s only the tip of the iceberg.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The possible side effects of consuming carrageenan <\/span>
\n2, Possible side effects of Maltodextrin, a common food additive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carrageenan Side effects <\/span><\/strong>can include:<\/span><\/strong>
\ninflammation (aches and pains)<\/em><\/span>
\nbloating<\/span>
\nirritable bowel syndrome and IBD<\/span>
\nglucose intolerance<\/span>
\ncolon cancer<\/span>
\nfood allergies<\/span><\/p>\n

Because carrageenan has a variety of uses, it is included <\/span>
\nin a wide range of products.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following foods commonly contain carrageenan:<\/span><\/p>\n

Dairy: whipping cream, chocolate milk, ice cream, sour cream, <\/span>
\ncottage cheese, and children’s squeezable yogurt products<\/span>
\nDairy alternatives: soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk, coconut milk, <\/span>
\nand soy puddings and other desserts<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meats: sliced turkey, commercially prepared chicken, and deli meats<\/span>
\nPrepared foods: canned soups and broths, microwavable dinners, <\/span>
\nand frozen pizzas.<\/span>
\n
\nSome nutritional or diet drinks contain carrageenan, as do some <\/span>
\nsupplements, including chewable vitamins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because it can be used as a gelatin alternative, some manufacturers <\/span>
\nuse carrageenan in jelly-based products, including vegan jelly desserts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maltodextrin is a common food additive.<\/strong> But is it safe?<\/span>
\nPossible dangers and side effects of carrageenan<\/strong><\/span>

\nThe possible side effects of consuming carrageenan <\/span><\/strong>
\ncan include:<\/span><\/strong>
\ninflammation (aches and pains)<\/em><\/span>
\nbloating<\/span>
\nirritable bowel syndrome and IBD<\/span>
\nglucose intolerance<\/span>
\ncolon cancer<\/span>
\nfood allergies<\/span><\/p>\n

Evidence suggests that maltodextrin may affect the balance of gut bacteria, <\/span>
\nwhich play an important role in people’s health.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although studies in humans are necessary to confirm this, initial research <\/span>
\non mice suggests that people who consume maltodextrin may have a <\/span>
\nreduced number of good bacteria and an increased quantity of harmful <\/span>
\nbacteria. This could potentially lead to intestine damage and a higher risk <\/span>
\nof inflammatory bowel diseases.<\/span><\/p>\n

One study has shown that maltodextrin increases the activity of <\/span>
\nEscherichia coli bacteria, which may have a role in the development <\/span>
\nof the inflammatory bowel disease known as Crohn’s disease.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another study has linked maltodextrin to the survival of Salmonella <\/span>
\nbacteria, which may cause gastroenteritis and a broad range of <\/span>
\nchronic inflammatory conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent study suggested that maltodextrin may also compromise the <\/span>
\nability of cells to respond to bacteria. It could also suppress intestine <\/span>
\ndefense mechanisms against them, leading to intestinal disorders.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many food additives can cause allergies or intolerances. Side effects <\/span>
\nmay include allergic reactions, weight gain, gas, flatulence, and bloating.<\/span>
\nMaltodextrin may also cause a rash or skin irritation, asthma, cramping, <\/span>
\nor difficulty breathing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary sources of maltodextrin will be corn, rice, and potato, <\/span>
\nbut manufacturers may sometimes use wheat.<\/span><\/p>\n

People with celiac disease or gluten intolerance<\/strong>
\nshould be aware <\/span>that, although the production process will remove
\nmost of the protein <\/span>components, maltodextrin derived from wheat
\nmay still contain <\/span>some gluten.<\/span><\/p>\n

Genetically modified (GM) ingredients <\/span>GM corn, which is a
\ngenetically modified organism (GMO), is a common <\/span>source of
\nmaltodextrin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The World Health Organization (WHO) state that GMOs (genetically
\nmodified <\/em>organisms)<\/em> are safe to consume. Some help the plant to resist
\nfungi and bacteria or repel bugs, or survive drought. But the natural
\nstructure of the plant is altered, not recognized or understood by our body.
\nSo our body sees the corn or wheat as something to discard. It isn’t sure
\nhow to discard it. Our body calls upon whatever resources it has to
\neliminate a poison! So any reaction may happen when you ingest foreign
\nsubstances.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, GMOs may be harmful to the environment or people’s health <\/span>
\nbecause of the increased use of herbicides and pesticides on GMO crops. <\/span>
\nThere is also a chance that the genetically modified material can get into <\/span>
\nwild plants and animals, or into the human body through the diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many people believe that there is a link between GMOs and various health <\/span>
\nconditions, including cancer, kidney problems, Alzheimer’s disease, antibiotic <\/span>
\nresistance, allergies, and reproductive issues.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partly due to the censorship of GMO research, there is little evidence that <\/span>
\nthis is true. <\/span>
\nThe Environmental Sciences Europe journal published an article in support <\/span>
\nof this theory.<\/span><\/p>\n

THERE ARE MORE! If they contain anything ending in sulfate, sulfite,
\ndon’t buy or use them! If they are processed meats that say sulfite free,
\nstill they will become sulfates in your digestive system. Pure Poison!
\nI used to love hot dogs until I discovered how they’re made from
\nworthless ground industrial scraps, which is so for all processed
\npackaged meats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I found in vegan substitutes, the use of seasoning on similar textures
\nto replicate fish and meat. (I don’t favor soy products because vegans
\nand vegetarians over-use them). They don’t have the answer to health.
\nThey over-use pasta and sugar as well as beans.<\/p>\n

But I cleverly discovered simmered mushrooms, chilled on ice,
\ndipped in shrimp cocktail sauce tricks you into believing you’re
\neating fresh clams on the half-shell!<\/p>\n

You can rev-up a seafood flavor using powder<\/p>\n

You can trick the min into believing strips of roasted red pepper
\nsprinkled with smoked-paprica, sea salt, and powder<\/p>\n
