2. Potassium Bromate

Potassium Bromate, a chemical found in various baked goods, lurks in the food industry.

3. Rapeseed Oil

Rapeseed oil, with its smooth and golden appearance, is a widely used ingredient in various culinary creations. Its presence is felt as it effortlessly blends and stabilizes ingredients, creating a harmonious union. This versatile oil finds its place in the comforting aroma of freshly baked goods, the sizzling sounds of processed meats on the grill, and the creamy texture of dairy products.

However, hidden beneath its culinary charm lies a potential danger. Consuming rapeseed oil has been linked to serious health risks including heart disease, gradual vision loss, and the dreaded threat of cancer. Care to indulge?

4. Monosodium glutamate (MSG)

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) is an irresistibly flavorful ingredient that tantalizes the taste buds, leaving a lingering and addictive sensation on the palate. However, behind its delectable allure, researchers attribute this potent flavor enhancer to a plethora of health concerns, including reproductive, nervous system, and brain disorders.

MSG finds its way into an array of culinary delights such as savory sauces, rich gravies, comforting soups, and even unsuspecting baby formulas. Its omnipresence extends to unexpected places like low-fat and no-fat milk, processed foods, and even the innocent indulgences of gum and candy.

As if that weren’t enough, it cunningly sneaks its way into the world of fruits and vegetables, where it serves a dual purpose as both a wax and pesticide, infiltrating even the non-organic produce. Very fancy, eh?

5. Urea | Uric Acid | Carbamide ingredients

Urea, Uric Acid, and Carbamide must be avoided as ingredients due to their origin from urine and other bodily fluids. These substances are commonly used to enhance the desirable “browning” effect in baked goods, such as pretzels.
