Ever cared to take notice what’s listed on the foods you eat?
In a world where profit is more important than consumer’s health and well being, it’s important that individuals make smarter decisions by being informed. We need to educate ourselves about the harmful ingredients in food.
Below are list of harmful ingredients you should avoid.
Monosodium glutamate (AKA MSG):
Where is it found? It is a flavor enhancer which is added to chips, ramen seasoning, prepackaged foods, and many foods you get at a restaurant.
What are the symptoms? I usually get a migraine immediately after eating it which is not a good thing since msg interrupts brain neurons.

Where is it found? This ingredient is tricky because its in a lot of makeup products such as lipsticks, foundation, and even lotion.

Where are they found? They can be added to ice cream, cookies, and many more.
What are the symptoms? I need to research a little more about that but just think about it. Why would you consume antifreeze?
