Food labels

We are living in a fast world where everything has to be on the tip of our fingers and that includes foods.

I mean who reads the food labels to see what the ingredients are in it before we eat it !!!

Some of us might check the sugar content but do we check the ingredients.

Be careful folks and take some time to read the labels.

Here are some things you want to be cautious of when looking at food labels.

Hydrogenated Oils which include trans fats.

MSG (Mono Sodium Glutamate) which is typical, found in snacks a salad dressings soups etc.
MSG has toxic effects on neurons that are in our brain. If you see the word hydrolyzed on a food label, this is another word for MSG.

High Fructose Corn Syrup which is highly processed and even sweeter than sugar.

Soy — unless it’s fermented or non-GMO such as Tempeh.

Artificial Sweeteners which are very addictive creates a large spike in insulin and can cause you to eat More. One of the better types of is stevia as it doesn’t create a huge spike in insulin.

Food Coloring

Nitrates & Nitrites which are toxins added to food in order to remain on the shelves for longer periods of time as well to add colour to the food item.

Carrageen which used in products such as yogurt and coconut milk to act as a thickener. This can cause digestive issues for some people.
