Mono and Diglycerides
According to registered dietitian Mary Beth Sodus of the University of Maryland Medial Center, trans fats have been associated with increased risk of numerous diseases, including heart disease, stroke and diabetes. They promote inflammation and obesity; raise LDL, or bad, cholesterol levels; and lower HDL, or good, cholesterol levels. Made up in part of fatty acids, mono- and diglycerides may contain trans fats, either when manufactured in a lab or, if they come from an animal or vegetable source, when exposed to heat for processing into packaged and prepared foods.

Potassium Sorbate
Potassium Sorbate
Potassium sorbate is used in a wide variety of products due to its role as a preservative and its ease of manufacturing. However, some scientists believe overexposure to potassium sorbate can be harmful. So knowing these side effects will help you avoid discomfort and keep yourself safe.
Potassium sorbate can be found in a variety of sources, mainly as a preservative in preprocessed foods because it helps to prevent mold, fungi and yeast growth that can cause foods to spoil. This chemical can easily be produced and is quite inexpensive, making it an ideal choice for many industrial applications as well. While the material is generally considered safe for contact and consumption, it can be harmful if it is used excessively. Those who are allergic to potassium may also have difficulties consuming foods or using products that have potassium sorbate as a preservative. Learning about how potassium sorbate works and what products it is typically used in can help you avoid discomfort and keep yourself safe.

TBHQ
The Potential TBHQ Dangers

If you’re in the habit of reading food labels, you’ll often come across ingredients you can’t pronounce. Tertiary butylhydroquinone, or TBHQ, might be one of them.
TBHQ is an additive to preserve processed foods. It acts as an antioxidant, but unlike the healthy antioxidants you find in fruits and vegetables, this antioxidant has a controversial reputation.
What Is TBHQ?
TBHQ, like many food additives, is used to extend shelf life and prevent rancidity. It’s a light-colored crystalline product with a slight odor. Because it’s an antioxidant, TBHQ protects foods with iron from discoloration, which food manufacturers find beneficial.
It’s often used with other additives like propyl gallate, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). BHA and TBHQ are usually discussed together, as the chemicals are closely related: TBHQ forms when the body metabolizes BHA.
Where Is It Found?
TBHQ is used in fats, including vegetable oils and animal fats. Many — if not most — processed foods contain some fats, so it’s found in a wide range of products. For example, snack crackers, noodles, and fast and frozen foods. It’s allowed to be used in the highest concentrations in frozen fish products.
But food isn’t the only place you’ll find TBHQ. It’s also included in paints, varnishes, and skin care products.
FDA Limits
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determines which food additives are safe for U.S. consumers. the FDA puts a limit on how much of that ingredient can be used:
•when there’s evidence that large quantities of an ingredient may be harmful
•if there is a lack of safety evidence overall
TBHQ can’t account for more than 0.02 percent of the oils in a food because the FDA doesn’t have evidence that greater amounts are safe. While that doesn’t mean more than 0.02 percent is dangerous, it does indicate that higher safety levels have not been determined.
The Possible Dangers
So, what are the potential dangers of this common food additive? Research has linked TBHQ and BHA to numerous possible health problems.
According to the Centers for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), a well-designed government study found that this additive increased the incidence of tumors in rats. And according to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), cases of vision disturbances have been reported when humans consume TBHQ. They also cite studies that have found TBHQ to cause liver enlargement, neurotoxic effects, convulsions, and paralysis in laboratory animals.
Some believe BHA and TBHQ also affect human behavior. It’s this belief that has landed the ingredients on the black list of the Feingold diet, a dietary approach to managing attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Advocates of this diet say that those who struggle with their behavior should avoid TBHQ.
