Avoiding Preservatives

Avoiding preservatives is one of the most beneficial dietary changes you can do for your body. You might not even be aware of is how dangerous foods with preservatives can actually be to your well being. Foods which contain preservatives are actually harder for your body to break down into useful nutrients and can promote the growth of cancer cells.

The Main Offenders

There are four major offenders when it comes to deadly preservatives in our foods. The first step to protecting your body from these is knowing how to identify them:

1. Sodium Benzoate

Sodium Benzoate is a preservative which is used in acidic foods such as salad dressings, carbonated drinks, pickles, jams and fruit juices, condiments and even in cough syrups and mouth washes. When it is mixed with Vitamin C, Sodium Benzoate can form something called Benzene which is a known carcinogen. It is also believed to have a negative effect on vital parts of DNA in the mitochondria of your cells.

2. Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) is a preservative which is found in things like canned soups, canned meats, boxed dinners and many other pre-prepared meals which do not require refrigeration. Simply put, MSG is like an edible version of formaldehyde (used in laboratories to preserve dead body parts). It has been known to cause diseases such as asthma and hardening of the arteries, and the jury is still out on other possible negative side effects.

3. BHA/BHT

Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are added to foods to preserve fats and are found in butter, lard, cereals, sweets, beer, vegetable oils, potato chips, some nuts, instant potatoes, dry mixes, glazed fruits, chewing gum and some meat products such as poultry and sausage. When used in combination, BHA and BHT are known as carcinogens

The key to long-term successful weight loss lies in understanding how your body reacts to foods and exercise so you can make lasting positive changes. DNA is what makes us unique and the next generation of diets will focus.
