Those with the greatest intake of non-antioxidant preservatives, compounds that prevent spoilage by inhibiting bacterial or fungal growth rather than by preventing oxidation, had a 16% higher relative risk of cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bcdb794 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bcdb794\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The eight additives identified were potassium sorbate (E202), found in processed fruit and drinks; potassium metabisulphite (E224), used in alcoholic beverages including wine; sodium nitrite (E250), sodium ascorbate (E301), and sodium erythorbate (E316), all used in processed meats; ascorbic acid (E300), added to processed fruit and vegetables; citric acid (E330), commonly found in soft drinks; and rosemary extract (E392), used in oils and fats.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05d7226 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05d7226\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Of particular note, ascorbic acid (E300), chemically identical to vitamin C, was the only individual additive independently associated with cardiovascular disease, at a 15% higher risk. The authors note this does not challenge dietary guidelines around natural vitamin C intake but may warrant a reassessment of its safety profile when used as a food additive. Approximately half of ascorbate intake among participants came from processed fruit and vegetables.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ca4073 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ca4073\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Researchers adjusted for major food groups and ultra-processed food consumption, reducing the likelihood that the associations were driven solely by overall diet quality rather than the preservatives themselves. The authors call for re-evaluation of these additives by regulatory bodies including the European Food Safety Authority and the FDA.<\/p>\n<p>The study identifies associations only and does not establish causation. Further epidemiological and experimental research is needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb5aaf1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb5aaf1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Source: Cassella C.
