Bad ingredient of the week: Polysorbate 80.
Problems caused by Polysorbate 80:
• It thumps your immune system.
• It’s hard on fertility and can even make you sterile.
• It whacks your intestines, causing problems such as colitis, leaky gut syndrome, and inflammatory bowel disease.
• Damaged intestines mean you can’t absorb the nutrition you need, which opens another big can of worms.
• And a flaky small intestine also interferes with everything your endocrine system needs to do because most of what your thyroid, adrenals, etc. do, they do in your small intestine.
• It causes inflammation, the main cause of disease. Heart disease, for one.
• It leads to obesity.
• And causes metabolic syndrome, the beginning of Type 2 Diabetes.

Cosmetics aren’t as dangerous as foods and vaccines, but read the labels. The effects of Polysorbate 80 add up, sometimes to a scary big number. Be especially sure to check the label on anything that you spread, such as lotions and creams.
