The preservatives:
- sodium nitrite
- potassium nitrate
- potassium sorbate and other sorbates
- acetates
- and others…
News be like…

“There’s a preservative in cereal and lunchmeat that is associated with cancer.”

“Um, what is the preservative?”

The News: 🤷🏼 🤐

Sulfites, nitrites, sorbates... Très présents dans les aliments industriels, ces additifs sont soupçonnés depuis des années de favoriser l’apparition de certaines pathologies. Deux études françaises montrent aujourd’hui qu’ils sont associés à un plus grand risque de cancers et de diabète.

Oh no, that's me.

What's keeping him alive is a complex toxic soup of phthalates, cellulose and synthetic dyes, various and sundry benzoates, bisphenols, sorbates, and glutamates.

...and probably some damn vaccines that he doesn't want available for anyone else.

Trader Joe's sells bags of prunes either with or without sorbates, and let me tell ya folks, you need those sorbates for a good prune

Food tip: Here is one of the easiest ways to start cutting out ultra-processed foods from your diet. I did this and it helped improve my healthiness.

Stop eating foods that have artificial food dyes like Red 40 and Yellow 5, or have artificial preservatives like benzoates, sorbates, and nitrites.

Drinkable! Well, two of the last three years were good, 2024 was a bit meh, harvested too early before the Sep heat wave.

I'll send you a bottle of the 2026 if it turns out good - have to back-sweeten before drinking it as I ferment and age it "dry", can't be arsed with sorbates or bottle bombs.

The first cluster consisted of modified starches, pectin, guar gum, carrageenan, polyphosphates, potassium sorbates, curcumin and xanthan gum. Xanthan and guar gum are derived from plants and are typically safe, even beneficial,

I didn't like pasteurization because I've had too many people giving me theirs and it's a gusher because the middle of the bottle didn't get to temp and yeast survived.
K Meta and Sorbates never failed me.

We had a friend who was really into molecular gastronomy. She was working on making a salad dressing with all of her xanthan gums, potassium sorbates, and calcium disodium edtas. Then she realized she had perfectly reverse-engineered Kraft Italian.

Or maybe we do actually know these things, and you carry around the key to all this knowledge in your pocket every day.

Or maybe pasteurization causes autism and we should drink raw milk and roll around in filth and squalor.

The six that were linked to cancer are considered GRAS, or “generally recognized as safe” in food by the US Food and Drug Administration. These include sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate, sorbates, potassium metabisulfite, acetates, and acetic acid.

Common food preservatives linked to cancer and type 2 diabetes
Two large studies found a significant association between eating preservatives in many foods and a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and several cancers.

A study of over 100,000 people found that high intake of common preservatives can increase cancer risks.

Sorbates & acetates (in baked goods, cheese) were linked to a greater chance of breast cancer.

Sodium nitrite (in hot dogs, deli meats) was linked to a greater chance of prostate cancer.

Wow.

Six preservatives — sodium nitrite, potassium nitrate, sorbates, potassium metabisulfite, acetates and acetic acid — were linked to up to a 32% higher risk of prostate cancer, breast cancer and cancer of all kinds.
