There are some ingredients in processed foods that are
known to cause cancer or other ailments:
Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
Soups, sauces, gravies, baby formula, low-fat and
no-fat milk, candy, gum, and processed foods all could have this additive known
for causing reproductive, nervous system and brain disorders. It can even be found
as a wax or pesticide on non-organic fruits and vegetables.
Nitrates
Preservatives that are potentially carcinogenic and
found in processed foods or meat.
Potassium bromate
Banned worldwide, except in the United States and
Japan. This is found in baked goods and can cause cancer and kidney and nervous
system disorders.
Rapeseed Oil
This emulsifier and stabilizer found in baked goods,
dairy products and processed meats which can cause cancer, heart disease and
vision loss.
Saccharine
Artificial sweetener found to cause cancer.
Artificial Color, FD & C food color
Potentially a carcinogenic, this can also contain
traces of lead and arsenic and it’s derived from coal tar. Actually, you may use
beats, carrots, chlorophyll, saffron or grapes instead for coloring
alternatives.
Butylated Hhydroxyanisole
(BHA), butylated hydroxytolune (BHT)
Unlike many antioxidants, this one can cause cancer,
birth defects and infertility. It is commonly found in baked goods, canned
items, powdered soups, bacon and food containing artificial color or flavoring.
