What is potassium sorbate and why is potassium sorbate in food and also added to so many other products?
What Is Potassium Sorbate?
Potassium sorbate is a chemical additive and preservative used in many foods, drinks, and personal care products. It’s a white, odorless, and tasteless salt made from potassium hydroxide (lye) and sorbic acid.
Potassium sorbate prevents the growth of mold, yeast, and fungi, which helps to extend the shelf life of foods. It’s especially effective at preventing mold growth in cheeses.
According to the FDA, Potassium Sorbate is considered safe for human consumption when used appropriately.
Potassium Hydroxide?
- Chemical, industrial, and manufacturing: Used in soap making, as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries, in electroplating, lithography, and paint and varnish removers.
- Food: Used as a food additive, pH adjuster, stabilizer, and thickening agent.
- Skincare and hair care: Used as a preservative.
- Disinfectant: Used to clean hands, skin, and surfaces.
- Pharmaceuticals: Used to clear organic material from skin scrapings to make fungi easier to see.
What is Sorbic Acid?
What is the illusion they want to create?
This is why I always say disease is man-made.
Can Big Food add potassium sorbate to organic foods and drinks?
In the EU absolutely not, but of course in the USA it’s allowed in smaller amounts. We live in a country that poisons its’ citizens every day, everywhere, and they justify it by simply telling the people that’s is safe in smaller quantities. Really? Rat poison is safe in smaller quantities? Great, thanks for looking out for me!
You can’t walk down the street and sit on a park bench without being poisoned several times, you can’t drive your car on the freeway without being poisoned and you can’t eat or drink anything from the supermarket that doesn’t poison you.
Yes, poison is everywhere, but that doesn’t mean there doesn’t exist the last poison-free oasis that you can turn to for real health and can detox a lifetime of potassium sorbate from your whole body, and you found it right here. Take back your health!
