Artificial Flavors

Pump the brakes if your floor cleaner contains real lemons and your lemonade contains artificial flavors. Food companies have altered labeling laws so artificial flavors now pass as “natural ingredients.” The worst part? They’re in everything from bread and cereals to flavored yogurts, cheese, soup mixes, and ready-made meals. These flavors are manufactured in laboratories and contain zero nutritional value.

Recent studies have found that artificial substances are detrimental to your health, whether from damage caused by neurotoxins to stunted growth, among others.
