We all already know that supplements are used in the food industry, which have been proven to be dangerous to our health. They can even cause cancer. For some of them, the data on how dangerous they are is evasive, but there are also those that are certain to be harmful. In some countries they are banned from use. However, the truth is that they continue to be used in many food products in our country as well. In this way, they slowly and surely destroy our health.
Here are the most dangerous among them:
Sodium nitrite
It ranks first in the list of the most dangerous food supplements. It can be found in sausages, dried sausages, bacon, smoked meats, hot dogs, packaged ham, all kinds of salami and all canned red meats, etc. It is used in the products to ensure the appetizing red color of the sausages, as well as the pleasant taste. On the one hand, sodium nitrite stops the growth of bacteria, but when products are processed at high temperatures, it becomes a chemical agent that can cause tumors. Its intake leads to the formation of nitrosamines in the body. They cause a sharp increase in the risk of cancer.
Aspartame
Used as a substitute for white sugar in low-calorie desserts, carbonated and ordinary beverages, medicines, it is the most widely used sweeteners. It contains phenylalanine, aspergic acid and methanol. Scientists consider it a chemical poison. There is a proven link between aspartame and cancer. In addition, it can lead to multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, brain tumors, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, attention deficit disorder, autism.
Dyes
They are used to make the products look more attractive. They are used in almost all products on the market. Their properties have not been fully studied. The yellow dye tatrazine (E102), for example, causes asthma attacks, urticaria in children, leads to the formation of thyroid tumors, chromosomal damage. It is used in the production of beverages, jams, pastries, cereals, snacks, dry soups and canned food.
Yellow quinoline (E104) is used in the manufacture of lipsticks, hair products, colognes, as well as in a wide range of drugs. It has been shown to cause dermatitis.
The colors known as Sunset Yellow FCF and Orange Yellow S FD&C are used in the manufacture of bakery products, pastries, snacks, ice cream, beverages and canned fish. They lead to rash, runny nose, allergies, nasal congestion, agitation, kidney tumors, chromosomal damage, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, food intolerance.
Azorubin and camoisin on the other hand, from which a red color is obtained, they are extracted from tar. They are added to confectionery, marzipan and jelly products. E123, called amaranth, is also a red colorant. It is obtained from a small plant of the same name. It causes asthma, eczema and agitation, damage in newborns, causes the formation of cancer cells. Other harmful dyes are E124 - Ponceau 4R, Cochineal Red A, E127 - erythrosine, E129 - allura red. It has been found that over 80% of dyes lead to the development of allergies.
Potassium bromate
Although rare, it is still added to some baked goods and white flour products and used as a leavening agent. Once taken, potassium bromate is converted into another substance that increases the risk of cancer. It is a powerful carcinogen and actively causes the development of cancer cells.
Sodium glutamate
Also known as Chinese salt (E621), it is an amino acid that has the ability to enhance the taste of the product. Used in salad dressings, instant soups, fixes, diced broths, chips, frozen semi-finished products and in restaurants. On the one hand, it causes headaches and nausea, and research shows that it damages nerve cells.
Olestra
This is a fake fat without calories. It replaces fat in some types of chips and snacks. On the one hand, they pass through the digestive tract without being absorbed (like all of the above), suppressing the absorption of nutrients that reduce the risk of heart disease. On the other hand, it is associated with fat-soluble vitamins A, E, D and K and carotene, which support the immune system and prevent some cancers. The bad thing is that it eliminates them from the body.
Propyl gallate
Butyloxyanisole-like antioxidant agent. It is banned for use in baby food because it irritates the digestive system and skin.
Potassium acesulfame
It is added to gelatin desserts and chewing gum. It is about 200 times sweeter than white sugar. A number of studies have shown that it causes cancer, but according to its defenders, there is not enough data on its side effects.
Butyloxyanisole
This antioxidant is used to prevent oxidation of products, rancidity of fats and oils. It is found mostly in chips, vegetable oil, chewing gum and others. The substance is unstable and may become another substance in the body. It leads to pathological changes in the tissues and the appearance of tumors.
