Have you heard of Sodium Benzoate??
Did you know it is a man made additive added to many processed foods and drinks?
Sodium benzoate does not occur naturally, but benzoic acid is found in many plants, including cinnamon, cloves, tomatoes, berries, plums, apples, and cranberries.
It has been approved internationally as a safe additive known as number 211.
Itโs useful for potentially decreasing the risk of harmful bacteria , mould & microbes ๐งซ ๐ฆ in long life shelf foods.
You will find this number 211 in food products such as soft drinks, diet soft drinks, jelly, soy sauce, pickles, condiments, salad dressings.
It is also used in many over the counter medications ๐ & cough ๐ท syrup.
It is also used in the automotive industry, cosmetics industry & used to strengthen certain types of plastics.
WOW so versatileโฆโฆ BUT!!!
Studies have been taking place on the risks & and harmful side effects of this sodium benzoate.
A huge concern is that number 211 will convert to benzene, a known carcinogen.
This occurs in your diet soft drinks & regular soft drinks that contain ascorbic acids (vitamin C) & sodium benzoate.
DIET SOFT DRINKS are more prone to benzene formation, as the sugar in regular soft drinks and fruit drinks may reduce its formation.
In another study results showed massive increases in risks of:
Inflammation - sodium benzoate can activate the inflammatory pathways in the body which could promote the development of cancer.
ADHD- the additive has been kink to ADHD in children.
Appetite control - studies have shown a decreased release of the hormone leptin (the Iโm full receptor) when consuming products with number 211.
Allergies & Oxidative stress throughout the body are also at huge risk.
So what can you do to reduce your risk?? Please stop drinking DIET SOFT-DRINKS! They are so harmful to every single beautiful cell on your brain & body.
Read labels- if you must buy processed foods then at least be mindful & read about what yo
