Imagine you're at the grocery store and you see one of those big displays of Pumpkin Spice goodies.
"OH WOW!" you exclaim, "These pumpkin rolls look INCREDIBLE and my kids will love these!"
You pop them in your cart.
But wait…
You forgot to check the ingredient list.
And then you get home and dig into your delicious pumpkin roll, unaware that you're really eating…
- MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES: Contains trans fat which is strongly correlated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
- ARTIFICIAL FLAVORS: Chemical mixtures synthesized in laboratories, derived from petroleum and other inedible substances.
- POLYSORBATE 60: An emulsifier that may be contaminated with 1,4-dioxane – a known carcinogen.
- ARTIFICIAL COLORS (Yellow 5 & 6, Red 40, Blue 1): Derived from petroleum, linked to several health issues, including allergies and hyperactivity in children, which require a warning label in Europe.
- POTASSIUM SORBATE: This preservative has been shown to be genotoxic to white blood cells, which could lead to cancer.
- TBHQ: Controversial preservative that may harm the immune system and increase the risk of food allergies.
You'll find these ingredients in most pumpkin treats at the store. How they get away with selling these toxic products just disgusts me!
But don't worry…I have something to help.
