The Most Dangerous Ingredients in Conventional Foods

Excerpted from "Grocery Warning" by Mike Adams

• Sodium nitrite causes cancer, and is found in most processed meats like hot dogs, bacon and sausage. It is a color-fixer chemical used to make meats appear red.

• Hydrogenated oils cause heart disease, nutritional deficiencies, general deterioration of cellular health and much more. Found in cookies, crackers, margarine and many "manufactured" foods. These oils are used to extend the shelf-life of foods. Sometimes also called "plastic fat".

• Excitotoxins like aspartame and monosodium glutamate are neurotoxic chemical additives that directly harm nerve cells, over-exciting them to the point of cell death, according to Dr. Russell Blaylock. They're found in diet soda, canned soup, salad dressing, breakfast sausage and even many manufactured vegetarian foods. They're used to add flavor to over-processed, boring foods that have had the life cooked out of them.
