9 toxic foods that you should avoid for the health of your family

Our grandmothers fed much more naturally and did not suffer from the diseases that we now have because we inadvertently intoxicated our body with so much synthetic food. For the sake of your health and that of your children, try to avoid these foods as much as possible.

Artificial dyes in your food or sweets

There are natural dyes extracted from some plants that can be good substitutes. Everything that is synthetic has long-term effects on your body since it is derived from oil and is related to the deterioration of nerve cells and hyperactivity in children.

2/9

Potato chips preservative

Known as Butylhydroxyanisole, it is used in industry to keep bagged potato chips and dried meat apparently fresh. Unfortunately, the European Union classifies it as a potential disruptor to your endocrine system.

Microwave Popcorn Flavoring

Diacetyl is used as a butter flavoring and according to a new study from the University of Minnesota, increases the risk of Alzheimer's. On the other hand, it also reduces the natural protective barrier that the brain has against dangerous substances.

Chicken Nuggets

Because they use an industrial chemical product derived from petroleum called Dimethylpolyxiloxane to make it, it is highly toxic and is linked to stomach tumors and DNA damage.

Sausages

The World Health Organization concluded that processed meat such as sausages should be included in the list of substances dangerous to health, due to the large number of sodium nitrates they contain and which may be generators of colon cancer.

Donuts

It is terrible because they are delicious but made with fluorine, refined sugar, and hydrogenated oil and can be cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's generators due to the overheated oil that produces very toxic molecules.

Other sausages such as bacon and ham

That pretty little pink color that you see in both when you go to the supermarket is due to the high concentration of nitrates and nitrites and they can cause fatal poisoning - especially in children - known as a blue baby syndrome.

8/9

Potassium bromate in foods made from wheat

This is a super health hazard since to keep bread and cookies fluffy, soft, or golden, the dough is conditioned with potassium bromate. An overdose of this can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, and irreversible kidney damage.

9/9

Tapioca

Although it is not a synthetic food, you must also be very careful. It is known as yuka and is used to fill cakes or sweets and if it is not consumed well boiled or baked, it can cause neuropathy, a neurological disease that degenerates your nervous system.
