8. Condiments

There is no denying that those little “good forever” condiments such as ketchup, salad dressings, relishes, hot sauce, even those prepackaged creamers (you know, the ones that never need refrigeration) are super convenient, it’s true. But at what price? Have you ever wondered why these foods don’t need to be refrigerated?

You might have thought that it was because they lacked eggs or milk, but that’s only part of it. Why would they last forever sitting out on a shelf at room temperature? These condiments are not naturally dried or fermented as foods used to be; condiments are now made with food additives and preservatives, sweeteners (such as HFCS), trans fats, and chemicals such as dimethypolysiloxane, which is an anti-foaming compound. Think about that one.

Should naturally made ketchup ever have a reason to foam? Think twice before you eat these harmless looking food enhancers. Make your own at home- they are easy to make, much cheaper, and taste better than anything at the store.

    There is bacon out now with no artificial ingredients or nitrates. I’m starting to wonder about the research that goes into some of these articles.
