Dangerous Food Additives – How Polysorbate 80 Could Be Harming Your Health
This Unhealthy Substance Can Cause Severe Allergic Reaction, Heart Failure & Death
What is Polysorbate 80 and What is it Used For?
Polysorbate 80 is a golden-colored, gelatinous substance that can be found in anything from food to cosmetics to vaccines.
Which Foods Contain Polysorbate 80?
Polysorbate 80 acts as an emulsifier in food. An emulsifier binds ingredients together to prevent them from separating. It is most commonly used in the following foods:
Ice Cream
Whipped Cream
Non-Dairy Creamer
Dessert Toppings
Chewing Gum
Gelatin Desserts
Shortening
Condiments
This substance can be found in virtually any processed food, however. It is very important to become a label reader to successfully avoid this additive. Other names you may find this ingredient under are:
Polyoxyethylene (80) sorbitan monooleate
(x)-sorbitan mono-9-octadecenoate poly (oxy-1,2 ethanediyl)
Tween 80
POE (80) sorbitan monooleate
E433
What Are the Non-Food Sources of Polysorbate 80?
Cosmetics – used as a solubilizer. A solubilizer helps dissolve ingredients that do not easily dissolve. This makes the make-up look creamier and more attractive.
Vaccines – vaccines such as the HPV vaccine, Gardasil, also contain this dangerous additive.
Vitamins and Supplements – may be used as a preservative
Cancer Drug – it has also been used as a drug to treat cancer and kidney failure with devastating side effects.
What are the Side Effects of Polysorbate 80?
This versatile substance can cause a host of terrible side effects ranging from mild to severe. Side effects include, but are not limited to:
Allergic Reaction – sneezing, coughing, swelling, wheezing, shortness of breath, skin rashes, itching and pain.
Gastrointestinal Problems – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
Heart/Circulatory Problems – abnormal heart rhythm, heart attack, stroke
Fertility Problems – infertility in women, especially those who have taken vaccines containing polysorbate 80, such as the HPV vaccine, Gardasil.
Tumor Growth and Cancer
If you or somebody you know suffers from strange symptoms, the cause may be a reaction to polysorbate 80.
Again, it’s important to become a label reader and replace dead processed foods with healthy, nutritious food that can offer a world of good health!
