3 Food Additives Which May Cause Infertility

Literally thousands of different food additives are used in processed food all over the world. We often assume they’re safe for our health and fertility as they are tested and approved for use. The trouble with the testing and approval processes for conditions like Infertility is that it’s difficult to test for the impact of substances on chronic conditions (infertility is generally a chronic condition). The testing and approval process can’t easily reveal long term effects. Later when evidence emerges of a substance’s dangerous health effects the law often protects companies more than individuals. Rich corporations are often able to use their influence to continue profitable activities long after it becomes clear that there are serious risks to human health. Cigarettes are the most obvious example but there are many, many others. There are many ethical companies, but the profit motive is strong and there are still some, very powerful corporations which will put the bottom line before your health and the health of the Planet. This is why we need to take control of our own health, not assume the government will protect us and question what we are consuming.
