Going through cancer was the wake up call we needed and had forget changed the way we eat. As a 10 year survivor now and Holistic Health Practitioner here's our list and why we've avoided for these years and teach our clients about at Wholistic Nutrition so you can create health from the inside out.
HFCS - Chemically processed corn syrup that has been proven to increase the risk of weight gain, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer and dementia. As well as type 2 diabetes in children.
Artifical food dyes - Made with petroleum-oil-based chemicals, artificial coloring has been associated with behavioral and developmental issues in some children and the potential for increased risk of cancer.
MSG - Flavor enhancer that increases cravings for more junk food. Linked to headaches, depression, GI imbalances, palpitations, brain inflammation, and mental disorders and weight gain.
BHA & BHT - Synthetic antioxidants linked to endocrine disruption, liver damage, and may have neurological effects, such as changes in behavior and cognitive function.
Caramel Color - has been linked to inhibiting vitamin B6 and potentially weakening the immune system. Class IV caramel color (E1 50d) is the most common type used, but the label will only say "caramel color" and has shown carcinogenic effects in mice.
Folic Acid - synthetic folic acid from fortified foods and supplements may mask a vitamin B12 deficiency, cause neurological damage, increase risk of certain cancers, disrupt DNA methylation, and may have possible negative impacts on neurodevelopmental.
Artifical sweetners - have been linked to possibly increasing insulin resistance, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), gastrointestinal symptoms, and certain types of cancer.
Nitrites/nitrates - have been linked to an increased risk of certain cancers, such as stomach and colorectal cancer.
The more you know the better decisions you can make :)
