Food Labels, Hormones & Conscious Choices- Part 1
When we read labels like “cream-filled”, it’s worth pausing and asking:
What is this “cream” actually made of?
Often, ultra-processed foods contain:
• refined sugars and syrups
• industrial seed oils
• artificial colourings and flavourings
• emulsifiers and preservatives
These ingredients may not feel harmful immediately, but repeated exposure can interfere with hormonal signalling, insulin response, gut health, and inflammation, all of which affect how we feel, think, and function.
🌾 A Closer Look at Common Foods
• Packaged cereals often marketed as “healthy” can contain high sugar levels
• Coloured snacks and sweets may include additives linked to hormonal disruption
• Highly processed fillings and spreads are far different from real food
The body recognises food, not formulas.
🌿 What You Can Do
Awareness is power, not pressure:
• Read ingredient lists, not just marketing claims
• Choose foods with fewer and recognisable ingredients
• Be cautious with artificial colours and flavourings
• Support local, seasonal, and minimally processed foods
