Christine Wilkinson, MS, RD<\/strong>, LDN,<\/strong> Dietitian at Cooper, was interviewed by FOX29 about a list of the 10 scariest food additives, according to Men\u2019s Health Magazine<\/em>. Among the list are Olestra, Caramel Coloring, Saccharin, Partially Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil and Sulfites. Wilkinson said the additives included in soda may be the most problematic since people tend to drink a lot of soda to begin with.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Olestra-<\/strong> A Fat\u00a0substitute\u00a0usually\u00a0found in low\/no fat chips that\u00a0binds fats, preventing them from being broken down in our digestive system. Since our bodies cannot digest these bound fats, “loose stool” becomes a problematic side effect associated with Olestra consumption.<\/li>\n
  2. Caramel Coloring –<\/strong>An\u00a0artificial\u00a0ingredient\u00a0created by burning sugars and often times,\u00a0ammonia. \u00a0When caramel coloring is created using\u00a0ammonia,\u00a02-methylimidazole and 4-methylimidazole which have been linked to cancer in mice. While some caramel coloring is created without\u00a0ammonia, food\u00a0manufactures\u00a0are not required to disclose that information to their labels.<\/li>\n
  3. Saccharin- <\/strong>An artificial sweetener previously accompanied by an FDA warning label from 1977-2000 due to cancer links. Although, the FDA has since removed saccharin warning labels, recent studies have linked increased fat in rats fed the sweetener vs rats fed table sugar.<\/li>\n
  4. Potassium Bromate-\u00a0<\/strong>Most commonly used to puff up breads,\u00a0Potassium\u00a0Bromate is banned in numerous\u00a0countries\u00a0and has show increased thyroid & kidney tumors in rats. In the U.S. California requires foods containing the substance to carry a cancer warning on the label.<\/li>\n
  5. Butylated Hydroxyanisole (BHA) and Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT)<\/strong>-Petroleum-derived antioxidants and preservatives, \u00a0BHA & BHT are most commonly used to keep chewing gum & cereals \u00a0fresh. Despite human\u00a0carcinogenic\u00a0warnings from the Department of Health and Human Services the FDA has yet to ban the additives<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n
