Story at-a-glance

Studies show that mixtures of food additives in ultraprocessed foods increase Type 2 diabetes risk, even for those following otherwise healthy diets
Two additive mixtures pose higher diabetes risk — one found in sweetened beverages and another in processed foods like dairy desserts and canned broths
Food additives damage gut microbiome, disrupt cellular function, and cause DNA damage when combined, even at low doses that match typical consumption patterns
Current safety assessments by health agencies are incomplete as they test individual additives rather than the combinations consumed in everyday diets
Healthy recommendations include eliminating ultraprocessed foods, choosing whole or biodynamic foods, educating family about real food, and learning to identify harmful additives
