Most of us focus on calories we consume and forget chemicals or additives can also jeopardize weight loss goals. Let us look at specific chemicals or additives and how they encourage weight gain.
Emulsifiers
Emulsifiers are chemicals included in processed foods to enhance texture and prevent separation. However, self-studies established that they trigger bacterial imbalance, setting the stage for metabolic syndrome. This increases the risk of obesity.
Antibiotics and Hormones
Most farmers treat their livestock with antibiotics and hormones. This means we mostly consume these chemicals in meat. Self-studies established that antibiotics lower the levels of T-cells, encouraging obesity. Steroid hormones used in dairy farming are also believed to increase the risk of obesity.
Inorganic Phosphates
Inorganic phosphates are common additives in processed foods. Eating inorganic phosphate-infused foods increases phosphate levels in the body, triggering weight gain.
