Some of the facts you are about to find out may sound shocking and disturbing. However, if you do not know the truth, you won’t be able to avoid the dangers that food industry causes to your health.

1. Manufacturers Load Meat with Sodium 

Salt and water are the main tools that meat producers use to make their products look better. Chicken and turkey might not be as healthy as you might have thought. If you buy poultry from a farmer whom you trust, then you are sure to pay for the best kind of meat. Meats that we find at the supermarkets are injected with a solution consisting of water and salt. This mix makes pork, beef and other meats tender and flavorful. No doubt water makes the product heavy and you pay more money and get less meat. All these tricks are not new. They have been used by the food industry since early 1980’s.

2. You Can Find Wood in Parmesan Cheese 

Cellulose is one of the ingredients that you can find in grated Parmesan cheese. This element is put in the food to prevent grated cheese from clumping. Cellulose is actually made from wood pulp. Despite the fact that organizations controlling foods and drinks classify cellulose as safe, none of cheese producers are proud of this fact. Although the additive is safe, some companies are trying to make more money by exceeding the percentage of cellulose in the product.
