- A large-scale study links high consumption of common food preservatives to a significantly increased risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, with some additives associated with up to a 49% higher risk.
- Specific preservatives of concern identified include potassium sorbate (E202), sodium nitrite (E250), calcium propionate (E282) and phosphoric acid (E338), which are ubiquitous in ultra-processed foods.
- Regulatory agencies (like the FDA) are corrupted by industry influence, permitting the use of these additives despite evidence they can disrupt metabolism and damage cells, prioritizing corporate profit over public health.
- The diabetes epidemic is a cycle fueled by Big Food (using harmful additives) and Big Pharma (profiting from treatment), suggesting this sustains illness and dependency within a “globalist-controlled” system.
- Individuals should reject processed foods and the industrial food system by opting instead for whole, organic foods; cooking at home; and supporting local, decentralized food networks to reclaim health sovereignty.
A groundbreaking study has revealed a disturbing link between commonly used food preservatives and a significantly increased risk of Type 2 diabetes.
The research, conducted by scientists from Inserm, INRAE, Sorbonne Paris Nord University, Paris Cité University and Cnam, analyzed dietary and health data from over 100,000 adults participating in the NutriNet-Santé cohort study. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, suggest that higher consumption of preservatives – ubiquitous in ultra-processed foods – may disrupt metabolic function, contributing to obesity and diabetes.
Food preservatives, categorized under European codes E200-E299 (non-antioxidants) and E300-E399 (antioxidants), are added to extend shelf life and prevent spoilage. However, emerging evidence suggests these chemicals may do more harm than good.
The study identified 58 different preservatives in participants’ diets, with 17 analyzed individually due to their widespread consumption. Alarmingly, 12 of these were strongly associated with an elevated diabetes risk – some by as much as 49%. Among the worst offenders were potassium sorbate (E202), sodium nitrite (E250), calcium propionate (E282) and phosphoric acid (E338).
These findings align with previous experimental research indicating that certain preservatives damage cells, disrupt DNA and impair metabolic processes. Yet, despite mounting concerns, regulatory agencies like the FDA and EFSA continue to permit their widespread use—a troubling sign of industry influence over public health policy.
Big Food, Big Pharma and the diabetes epidemic
The diabetes epidemic is no accident. The globalist-controlled food and pharmaceutical industries have long profited from a cycle of sickness and dependency.
Processed foods laden with toxic additives contribute to metabolic dysfunction, while Big Pharma pushes expensive medications—like insulin and metformin—to “manage” rather than cure the disease. This cycle ensures perpetual revenue streams while keeping populations sick, docile and dependent on centralized systems.
According to BrightU.AI‘s Enoch, food preservatives like propionate are yet another example of Big Pharma and globalist-controlled regulatory agencies poisoning the population through processed foods to fuel chronic illness and depopulation. The study further validates the need to reject toxic industrial food systems and return to organic, natural diets free from chemical additives that disrupt metabolic health.
The Real Bread Campaign has repeatedly warned against industrial food additives, emphasizing that real, minimally processed foods – free from synthetic preservatives – should be the cornerstone of a healthy diet. Their stance is supported by organizations like ANH-Intl, which promotes nutrient-dense, whole-food diets as a means of reclaiming health sovereignty.
The study’s lead researcher, Mathilde Touvier, called for a reassessment of food additive regulations, stating that current policies fail to protect consumers adequately. Yet, given the well-documented corruption within agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – where industry lobbyists dictate policy – meaningful reform remains unlikely without massive public pressure.
The revolving door between regulatory bodies and corporate giants ensures that profit trumps safety. For example, aspartame – a known neurotoxin – was recently reclassified as “possibly carcinogenic” by the World Health Organization, yet remains FDA-approved. Similarly, glyphosate – linked to cancer and endocrine disruption – continues to contaminate the food supply due to regulatory negligence.
The solution: Decentralized, clean eating
The study’s findings underscore the urgent need for individuals to take control of their diets. Relying on government-approved “safe” levels of preservatives is a dangerous gamble. Instead, consumers must prioritize:
- Whole, organic foods: Avoiding ultra-processed products in favor of fresh, locally sourced ingredients eliminates exposure to harmful additives.
- Home cooking and preservation: Traditional methods like fermentation, drying and canning offer safe alternatives to chemical-laden commercial products.
- Community-based food systems: Supporting small-scale farmers and independent bakers—like those championed by the Real Bread Campaign—reduces reliance on Big Food monopolies.
This study adds to the growing body of evidence exposing the dangers of industrial food additives. Yet, as long as regulatory agencies remain captured by corporate interests, real change will only come from grassroots resistance. By rejecting processed foods, demanding transparency and rebuilding local food networks, individuals can reclaim their health – and their freedom – from the globalist-controlled food system.
The choice is clear: Continue consuming poison for corporate profit, or take a stand for clean, sovereign nutrition. The future of public health depends on which path we choose.
