What’s Really in Your Food?

While convenience may be key in our busy lives. packaged foods often come with a long list of ingredients, some of which can be hard to decipher. While additives are commonly used to preserve freshness, enhance flavour, or improve appearance, not all are created equal. Knowing which to avoid is key to making informed, healthier choices.

Common Food Additives to Watch Out For

• Artificial Colours: Often linked to hyperactivity and allergic reactions.
• Artificial Flavours & Sweeteners: Can disrupt metabolism and lead to cravings.
• Emulsifiers & Preservatives: Some may interfere with gut health.
• Flavour Enhancers: Such as MSG, which can trigger headaches and other symptoms.
• Bleaching Agents: Used in flour processing but unnecessary for a healthy diet.
• Trans Fats: Known to increase the risk of heart disease.
• Acidulants: Sometimes synthetic, they can cause digestive discomfort.

Why It Matters

Artificial additives are often used to extend shelf life or enhance the sensory appeal of food, but the long-term effects of consuming these substances can be concerning. Studies have linked some additives to digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, and even chronic diseases. Prioritising natural, additive-free products means supporting your body’s wellbeing with nutrient-dense, whole foods.
