In this episode I discuss some common food additives and how they have demonstrated the ability to promote poor health and function of your digestive tract, often leading to undesirable symptoms and chronic health conditions. I also provide you with information regarding how your digestive tract is structured, how it functions, why your microbiome is important, and how these food additives negatively impact its structure and function. However, I also touch on some food additives that might have beneficial effects on your health as well. I finish the episode with some simple action items for you to start focusing on as a consumer that will help you make more informed choices that benefit your overall health.
