4. Avoid Processed Food Additives
If you see guar gum, carrageenan, locust bean gum, xanthan gum, carboxymethylcellylose, polyglycerols, and polysorbate-80 on food labels, forget about buying it. These emulsifiers often contained by processed food like salad dressings, cream cheese, and ice cream have unhealthy effects and may possibly cause obesity and increase the risk of diabetes.
