“Secret Food Toxin” DESTROYS Your Gut

Dear Reader,
“All disease begins in the gut.” The ancient Greek physician Hippocrates said, nearly 2,500 years ago.
So, it goes without saying that, if you want to stay healthy, you need to keep your gut happy.
And, as a reader of Living Well Daily, you’re probably someone who already tries your hardest to take care of your health.
But there’s a “secret food toxin” that could be hiding on your plate… What’s worse, it’s damaging your gut without you knowing it.
A recent study by researchers at UMass Amherst, published in the journal Small, discovered a food additive, called E-17, causes inflammation in the gut to SKYROCKET. And worse, it changes liver proteins.
E-17 is a common food chemical that makes your food look a whiter or more opaque. It’s found in a lot of desserts, candy, drinks, chewing gum, and many processed foods.
In fact, the food additive E-17 is currently banned in France. But the United States allows it because of pressure from Big Food.
This additive is made up of different size titanium dioxide particles; it’s these particles that, for example, make baby or talcum powder white.
Now, the international agency for research on cancer has classified titanium dioxide as a possible carcinogenic to humans, and yet it still it finds its way into our food.
It’s mind boggling that this food additive is allowed on our shelves – where it ends up on your table and into your mouth.
Because really, is the way our food looks that important? At the risk of cancer? Not a chance.
And E-17 is not alone — many food additives are harmful to our guts.
Your best bet is to stay away from any food that comes in a container, these almost always have food additives.
