Caramel colour
“Though the
research revealing the potential carcinogenicity of caramel colour was done
using animals, I still think it’s better to play it safe and avoid any products
with this ingredient” – Joy Bauer, nutrition and health expert.
Carrageenan
“It’s a
thickener that’s often found in dairy and milk products, I’m not convinced on
its safety yet. So, until it’s proved safe, it’s something I avoid.” – Brooke Alpert,
founder of B Nutritious.
Artificial sweeteners
“Yes,
artificial sweeteners are void of calories – but their negatives surely
outweigh their “zero-calorie” claim to fame.
The
unfortunate truth is that these processed sweeteners have been linked with an
increased risk of type 2 diabetes and increased caloric intake throughout the
day. Artificial sweeteners and sugar substitutes are up to 700 times sweeter
than natural sugar and only make you crave more, while loading you up with
chemicals” – Keri Glassman
Trans fats
“These are
artificial unsaturated fats that are added to processed foods to increase shelf
life. Unfortunately, they also increase your risk for heart disease.” – Michele
Davenport, a Silicon Valley nutritionist.
