8 Dangerous And Shocking Ingredients Hidden In Your Foods

As a qualified personal trainer and health coach I've evaluated a lot of diets and meal plans over the years. I always ask, "So what is your diet like?" And the most common response is... "Oh my diet's pretty good actually." It's not until we delve deeper into what people are consuming on a daily basis where we start to realize that their diet wasn't that healthy after all.

But did you know that there are legal loopholes where manufacturers can add certain ingredients and chemicals to the product, but state on the label that the product doesn't contain those ingredients at all? Read on as I outline 8 dangerous and shocking ingredients hidden in foods that you should be aware of.

AED - What Is It?

This is a lifesaving machine known as an automated external defibrillator. It is used to check on your heart rhythm and let the person operating the machine know whether your heart needs a jolt to reestablish your normal heart rhythm. The reason that you may need a jolt to your heart is because of a cardiac emergency such as cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest is when your heart stops pumping blood causing it to not circulate throughout your body. If you do not have immediate treatment within four to six minutes, you can suffer brain death. This machine will help to try to prevent this from happening. During a cardiac emergency, the machine will verbally let the operator know you need a jolt. The shock, or jolt, that is administered is called defibrillation.
