How do they turn cheap, toxic ingredients into a highly addictive food? The worst food ingredients often have the following components:

•Devoid of protein

•Create a blood sugar spike

•Artificial flavorings

•MSG

•Manipulated texture

•Good mouth feel

•Bliss point

•Signals the release of dopamine

•Pleasure when eating

Avoid the following toxic ingredients, often found in ultra-processed foods.

1. Trans fats

Some foods still contain trans fats. This ingredient is even worse when combined with refined carbohydrates.

2. High fructose corn syrup

This synthetic sugar goes straight to the liver, contributing to a fatty liver and insulin resistance. Sweet drinks made with alcohol cause significant liver damage and affect the brain, nervous system, and heart. Seed oils exacerbate this problem.

3. Sodium nitrate

This is a preservative found in bacon and hot dogs, and it becomes increasingly toxic when heated.

4. Fried potatoes/burnt toast

Adding heat to a starch creates toxic byproducts such as aldehydes and acrylamide. These toxic ingredients cause inflammation in the body. Starch or sugar combined with protein creates AGEs, harmful byproducts that damage your arteries, eyes, kidneys, and brain.

5. Artificial sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners have a toxic effect on the body, especially the microbiome.

6. Glyphosate

Glyphosate is patented as an antibiotic and classified by the WHO as a probable carcinogen.

7. MSG

Monosodium glutamate affects the hypothalamus in rats, causing them to overeat and become obese. This ingredient can make low-quality food taste better than it really is.

8. Phosphate

This stimulant can contribute to arterial calcification, especially if you don’t have enough vitamin K2.

9. Potassium bromate

This ingredient is a bread conditioner and is classified as a probable carcinogen.

10. Synthetic flavoring

The ingredient “flavoring” consists of hundreds of chemicals used to manipulate your sense of taste. Chronic consumption of artificial flavors can dull your appetite for real food.
