Scientists have determined that a hidden ingredient in popular products puts people at risk of cardiovascular disease every day, Sports.kz reports with reference to Unian.net.
We are talking about emulsifiers (food additives), which are used to make certain products (for example, ice cream, snacks, ready meals) last longer and taste better, The Sun writes, citing a study.
The study found that emulsifiers can cause various heart problems, including coronary artery disease and stroke.
One of the study’s authors, Dr Bernard Srur, urged people to reduce the amount of processed food they consume to stay healthy. He acknowledged that the study found only a small link between emulsifiers and heart disease. But the expert is confident that these results are important, given that these food additives are used “universally” in thousands of commonly consumed food products.
“The results will encourage a re-evaluation of food additive regulations in the food industry to protect consumers,” the doctor said with confidence.
It is worth noting that more than 100 thousand people took part in the study.
