    I think emulsifiers can be particularly bad, I think for several reasons, some might be bad for gut bacteria if I recall, but they also can break down the blood brain barrier, and destroy the barrier in the gut that prevents non nutrients from getting into the blood, as I understand it from what I had read.

    Emulsifiers keep things from seperating, like peanut butter might have it to prevent the oil in it from separating onto the top. Ice cream might have it. Some are worse than others. Processed foods are really untrustworthy these companies have nothing but contempt for us.
