Preservatives Linked to Higher Blood Pressure Risk | Tech News
Description
New French research reveals a startling link between common food preservatives and heart health—those eating the most non-antioxidant types like sorbates and nitrites had a 29% higher risk of high blood pressure, plus a 16% spike in overall cardiovascular disease risk. Eight specific additives, including sodium nitrite and potassium sorbate, were flagged. While this observational study doesn’t prove causation and its sample was mostly educated women, the findings are compelling enough to push for a major rethink of how food additives are regulated. For now, the takeaway? Choose whole, minimally processed foods and steer clear of ingredient lists that leave you scratching your head.
