This week was interesting because I had an opportunity to learn more about food and the industrialized food industry. I could create an entire other blog about this topic and all of the environmental, political, and health issues surrounding the food industry. I had the opportunity to watch the documentary film, Food, Inc. this week and it really impacted the way I think about food and what I put into my body.
One of the things that I want to learn more about is artificial ingredients and how they impact our bodies.
I just found an interesting article about this topic on Shine from Yahoo! that can be found at this link.
The article addresses 9 ingredients that you should avoid in processed foods. They are:
- Artificial Colors
- Artificial Flavors
- Artificial Sweeteners
- Benzoate Preservatives
- Brominated Vegetable Oils
- High Fructose Corn Syrup
- MSG
- Olestra
- Shortening, Hydrogenated and Patricianly Hydrogenated Oils
If you visit the attached link you can get more details about WHY to avoid these things.
Until Next Time...
