Bluedirt posted this link today about common preservatives that are carcinogenic. After thinking more about my disappointment with Whole Foods Market I began doing a little research on another local option-Earth Fare. Their ‘boot list’ of ingredients banned from their store includes many of the dangerous preservatives mentioned in this article. The hubby and I used to shop there quite frequently so we will be visiting soon! Sorry for the plethora of links below…happy reading!
