It’s time to watch out for the sneaky stuff and AVOID IT. Lots and Lots and LOTS of things that you usually buy at the store have sneaky additives and preservatives in them. Have no fear! Here’s a handy list of words you might not know and what they mean.
Things that are bad:
1) Potassium Sorbate. This is a preservative, and according to Wikipedia most of it is artificially produced and is not natural.
2) Weird words followed by “gum” (Guar Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan Gum, etc.). This stuff is a thickening agent, made from various types of beans/plants. It’s highly processed and definitely not found in Grandma’s kitchen.
3) Any ingredient whose name is a color or number or dye. For example, Red Dye 40. I’ve never seen that stuff growing in my garden. Definitely not natural.
4) Any “Lecithin” ingredient. Usually you’ll see “soy lecithin” and the soy should tip you off right away that it’s bad. This is made from animal or plant fatty tissue but is highly processed.
5) Things ending in “-ose” like Sucrose, Dextrose, Glucose, Sucralose, Fructose, Lactose, Xylose, etc.These are all names for sugar. Though some of them occur naturally in foods – especially fruits – if it’s listed on the ingredient label, it has been added to the food. Hence, it’s an additive and not healthy.
6) Sweeteners with sneaky names, including: maltodextrin, aspartame, neotame, acesulfame potassium, saccharin, sorbitol, xylitol, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, mogrosides, maltitol, erythritol, cyclamate, and inulin. Yep, sugar is sneaky. Don’t let it trick you!
7) Pretty much any other ingredient you can’t identify or pronounce. When in doubt, skip it and go for fresh real food!
