Potassium Sorbate

Ice creams, sherbets, sorbets? More often than not, these sweet treats contain potassium sorbate, a carcinogenic preservative. There’ve only been short-term studies conducted on potassium sorbate, but even those showed mutated vital organs in test animals. There is probably still a lot of information to be learned about this preservative, so best to steer clear.

If you want ice cream, peek at the label. It might be time to churn up some homemade sweet treats for the family. It’s not as hard as it might seem!
