A list of harmful food additives would be way to long to put into one article. I do need you to know, that they are some of the most harmful substances around.

Why?

Because it's almost impossible to avoid them and, although can really ruin your health, people tend to think that, since they are put in food, they must be food.

Nothing further from the truth.

There really is not much food in food additives. They're almost completely synthetic. Just like plastic.

So, here's a short list of some of the most popular, while at the same time the most dangerous additives around.

Ready?

Sodium Nitrate

This additive is commonly found in cheese, hot dogs and processed meats.

It's mostly used to enhance the flavor of your food and make sure it lasts longer. It'll make what you buy stay "good" for months or even years. It won't even matter if you keep it out of the fridge.

Small quantities of it will make you sick. Large quantities will kill you.

Acesulfame K

You'll find it in diet soft drinks.

It's popular because it replaces sugar effectively, but what people don't realize is that it overworks your thyroid. What this means is that even though you might think you're getting yourself a ton of energy because of all the caffeine, you'll feel really, really tired and will need more and more of it to get the kick.

Carrageenan

This additive is used as a gel and texturizer.

They put it in ice-cream, jelly, instant baby formula and a bunch of other things.

Carrageenan will cause ulcers in your intestines, and it will also stump your growth (I have no idea who approved it for use in baby food.)

Propyl Gallate

Here's another poison on our list of harmful food additives. You'll find it in instant soup, chewing gum and vegetable oil. If you eat too much of it, chances are you'll suffer from cancer.

Aspartame

This sweetener is found in frozen dessert, yogurt and many powered drinks.

It will cause brain tumors, headaches, mood changes, dizziness and even hallucinations if you eat too much of it.

Butylated Hydroxyanisole

This is another additive that will stop fats from going bad. Eating it will cause cancer.

Monosodium Glutamate

Monosodium Glutamate is mostly found in salad dressings, chicken, seasoning, spices, natural beef, hot dogs and potato chips.

Eating it will cause seizures, brain cell death, strokes, hypoglycemia and allergies.

Now, obviously, this list is by no means comprehensive, but I hope I got your imagination going.

What I really want you to realize is that additives are everywhere.

You might be asking yourself:

The only good answer is natural, healthy and organic food. It might be a little more expensive and a bit harder to get. It may not look as good as the food you're used to, but at least it's not going to kill you like some of the harmful food additives we talked about.
