Cancer risk of additives found in tortillas, deli meats, and more

One of the best decisions I ever made was cutting out ultra-processed food and choosing real food as much as possible.

More and more research is now finding man-made food additives linked to cancer, type 2 diabetes, and other chronic diseases.

Two large new studies out of France just found that people who consume the highest amounts of common food preservatives have significantly higher risk of cancer and type 2 diabetes than those who eat less of them.

Potassium Sorbate: About 14% higher overall cancer risk and 26% higher breast cancer risk.

Sulfites: About 12% higher overall cancer risk.

Sodium Nitrite and Nitrates: Tied to higher cancer risk, including about a 32% higher prostate cancer risk for nitrites.

Erythorbates: About 21% higher breast cancer risk and 12% higher overall cancer risk.

Calcium Propionate: Linked to higher type 2 diabetes risk. 

People with the highest intake of preservatives overall had up to a 47% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

You'll find these chemicals added to everyday foods like bread, pizza, tortillas, energy drinks, deli meats, flavored yogurts, and dried fruit to make them last longer on shelves…but clearly at the expense of our health.

This helps explain why almost every family now knows someone with cancer, pre-diabetes, or chronic illness.

We're even seeing diseases in kids that used to only affect adults. That should alarm every single one of us. 

And it all comes back to what's in our food.

If someone you love is living on energy drinks, frozen pizza, and packaged snacks, this could be the wake-up call they need.

Most people have no idea these chemicals are even in their food, let alone that they come with these health risks.
