Just so everyone knows, the first 4 ingredients are NOT on Whole Foods' 250+ ingredients that they don't allow... so even places like Whole Foods has these additives in their products.

Another KZbinr says that Malto Dextrin has a higher glucose index than table sugar. And since its not sugar it's glucose and blood sugar raising ability does not have to be reported. Its in a lot of things and sure enough it was in my favorite. Jalapeno Kettle cooked Chips. The wife had a mini stroke Nov 28 , 2023 and luckily survived without losing motor skills but her vision and memory are off a little. Since then we've completely changed how we eat.

The Yuka app has helped me scan a lot of foods and find out these dangerous additives

[@bobbyadkins6983]

I just started using that app about a few days ago. I hope it's really accurate. Some of the products that are supposed to be good for you got a poor grade according to the Yuka app. Some of the Healthy Choice frozen dinners got a poor grade. There were some others as well like some of the Weight Watchers that also got a poor grade. Some cereals also. Just because it says it's good for you doesn't mean it is if the App is correct.

[@fanceeist]

I use EWG app sometimes too. There is a guy named Bobby, who talks about healthy foods as well. He is very informative. Hopefully we can get this crappy stuff off of the shelves!

[@clarenceoliveriii]

@@bobbyadkins6983 right. The app exposes what the ingredients are on the label or you can read them. Then you can click the additives and see what the side effects are of certain ones. I have found that the app really does show how even some vegan options aren’t as “healthy” as we think because of the additives & preservatives.

Well, it’s may 2023 right now. I decided to decrease as many processed foods in my diet as possible. As an Indian living in 40*C + heat most of the yr, ice cream is a favourite of mine. This I set on this journey to make ice cream from scratch because I was tired of eating icecream that made me feel horribly lethargic, make my brain numb and had 100diff ingredients and chemicals. Truth be told, it is a deep deep well. Making ice cream from whipped cream is not as easy without a machine, because no matter what I do, I can’t make my own whipped cream(speaking from a failed attempt today) and can’t buy any fresh whipped cream around me, the only one available is the non dairy one filled with hydrogenated fat and. All these emulsifiers… and sometimes there’s the packages dairy whipped cream that again has the emulsifiers, not to mention the fact that it’s rarely available and expensive a bit. Hence I’m right now torn between buying these emulsifiers myself and make icecream out of milk, or buy the packaged dairy whipping cream and consume them that way. Or just quit icecream and only have some yoghurt…. This indeed is the end of times, when gender is not the only thing that’s changing but also our food. No wonder we’re all so messed up in our heads, this is the hocus pocus we’ve been eating. And WHAT DO YOU KNOW. I searched KZbin so much and could only find people RECOMMENDING THESE CHEMICALS….. this KZbin channel called Alchemy of Kitchen had a full video on how this stuff improves baked good without even mentioning the harms… and so we’re all the Indian icecream channels I saw….insane…. My brother and I have consumed this drink called Bournvita since childhood and this stuff was advertised as healthy…. Well, no one I’m struggling with my weight now and even my brother. I feel so tired doing the simplest things,…. Only Allah can save us 🤲🏻

I have digestive system dystopia. I believe I have SIBO. I don’t eat processed foods with these or the other top offender preservatives. I don’t eat grain products with gluten, and I eat relatively low amount of GF starches. Having said this, I still have symptoms of leaky gut, definitely SIBO, and occasionally the worst intestinal pain imaginable that lasts for hours. I seem to have a degenerating digestive system, and I can’t blame it on preservatives, which is the reason I wrote this comment.

[@burtman9649]

The roundup that's in all our food, (including beef) will eat holes in stomach lining and the entire digestive tract. It takes about 13 - 14 years for a human to accumulate the amount of roundup that a cow consumes in one day. It's in the grass.🐄

I had a HORRIBLE hives reaction that sent me to the ER a few months ago. My face and throat were broken out and my eyelids were almost swelled shut. The receptionist uttered a wide-eyed "omg" when she saw me, and immediately brought me back. The hives were rapidly spreading even though I had taken 100mg of Benadryl (The doctor was surprised that I was still awake after that high a dose). They ultimately gave me a diprospan shot in the "gluteus maximus" and put me on prednisone to help clear it up. I knew it was not poison ivy, and I could not immediately think of anything unusual that I had not eaten dozens of times before. THEN, I remembered that I had recently eaten some Kroger brand steak sauce, because it was cheaper than the "brand name" A1 steak sauce. I read the ingredients, and sure enough, it contained an emulsifier called CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE. It is NASTY STUFF, and it very well could have killed me.
