Are preservatives really bad for you? Why?
In: 0
There are preservatives which are *fine* and some that are *bad*. The dose also matters of course.
For example, preservatives like salt and citric acid are fine. They prevent bacterial growth but are not dangerous to you in the quantities you’d normally eat.
Then there’s stuff like nitrates / nitrites / celery salt, which are worse for you because they can cause cancer in your digestive tract.
