Preservatives in food can make you eat more

Common preservatives in your favorite foods can make you fat.  They interrupt the routines of digestive hormones and may cause cancerous tumors and developmental disorders in children.  They make you fat because they disrupt the messaging networks between the gut and the brain.  The message to the brain that says, “Hey, my gut is full”, doesn’t get there and we end up eating more.  Two of the most common culprits with ridiculously long names that go by the initials BHT and PFOA are to blame.  BHT is found in breakfast cereals and PFOA is used in cookware.  Pregnant women and parents of young children should look for these preservatives in food because they affect “young cells” more intensely than those of adults.  If you don’t protect yourself, don’t expect others to do it for you.
