Thank you for including my post here!

Preservatives don’t get enough attention. We look at the sugar, protein, etc and never consider things like sulphites and mono sodium glutamate.

Even worse, the food label might just say “preservatives,” and what does that tell us, nothing. Definitely we need to be asking questions.

Thanks for including my post in your article. I appreciate it!

I found your piece insightful and agree that it's important for everyone to be aware of what they're consuming. I also value the emphasis on reading labels and choosing natural options when possible. It's good to be aware of preservatives, although agencies like the FDA and WHO consider substances like sodium benzoate, nitrates, nitrites, and sulfites safe when used within established limits. Also, natural preservatives like salt and sugar can have their own health impacts if we consume too much. So yeah moderation is needed here as well.

I think a balanced approach is key. Thanks again for sparking this important conversation!
