Formic Acid Preservative

Researchers have clarified the link between food and your mind—unhealthy foods are harmful to the brain because the brain is primarily fat-based. The same is true for formic acid. It’s primarily used as an antibacterial, pesticide, or food additive depending on the concentration. However, higher doses can be extremely toxic.

Consuming animal products or processed foods treated with formic acid can increase free radicals, damage nerve cells, and increase the risk of having ADHD, anxiety, and other neurological disorders, which isn’t something to mess with.
