One of the major problems with food these days is the need for food companies to dramatically increase shelf life. One of the most common preservatives found in these products is preservative 220. In this episode we dive deep into discussions on the common preservative 220 – you will be shocked just how many foods contain it.

Sulphur dioxide, or preservative 220, is linked to some pretty terrible side effects. And guess what? You’re likely to be eating far more of this preservative than you know

This preservative is commonly found in:

  • processed meat, poultry and game products
  • chicken loaf,
  • frankfurters,
  • salami,
  • devon and manufactured hams,
  • sausages and sausage meat,
  • sausage rissoles,
  • chipolatas,
  • dried fruit
  • fruit juice
  • wine
  • coconut products and so much more

Numerous studies show that this preservative may have the following effects on your health:

  • Neurological effects and behavioural changes
  • Disturbance of blood circulation
  • Heart damage
  • Effects on eyes and eyesight
  • Reproductive failure
  • Damage to immune systems
  • Stomach and gastrointestinal disorder
  • Damage to liver and kidney functions
  • Hearing defects
  • Disturbance of the hormonal metabolism
  • Dermatological effects

Making simple swaps and better options can really help us avoid these disgusting effects. Most of the time it is just about making super simple switches and choosing different brands. It is so easy once you know what to look out for.
