3 vitamins to avoid on the ketogenic diet

Vitamins taken from natural foods are always more easily absorbed

However, if your situation requires vitamin supplements, you need to pay attention to these

/ Vitamins with titanium dioxide /

Titanium dioxide is a popular pigment used to enhance the whiteness and opacity

There are concerns about the risk
of titanium dioxide being a carcinogen.
While the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded that there is insufficient evidence that titanium dioxide particles cause cancer in humans, the opposite is true in laboratory
animals.

That's why the International Agency for Research on Cancer lists titanium dioxide as a Class 2B carcinogen, that is, it "may be carcinogenic to humans.
"

/ Vitamins with Artificial Food Coloring /

Synthetic color additives or food dyes are often used in over-the-counter and prescription drugs to enhance their appearance, provide brand identity, make it more likable, and thus increase purchases
.

Currently approved food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic (FD&C) dyes include:

Yellow No.
5 (lemon yellow)

Yellow No.
6 (Sunset Yellow)

Red 40 (Temptation Red)

Blue No.
2 (Indigo Carmine)

Blue No.
1 (bright blue)

Green 3 (Fast Green)

Red 3 (Red Moss Red)

However, the safety of these dyes has been a topic of debate, as some studies have linked
them to health problems such as allergies, childhood ADHD and tumors.

The Center for Public Interest Science has published a document summarizing studies
of edible dyes conducted on animal subjects.

Blue #1: Allergic reactions, an abstract study reported kidney tumors in mice

Blue No.
2: Possible brain and bladder tumors in rats

Green 3: Rats may have bladder and other tumors

Red 40: Allergic reaction, cresolamine is a carcinogenic pollutant
.

Yellow Nos.
5 and 6: Allergic reactions, benzidine is a carcinogenic pollutant
.

Here are more findings from the study on humans:

1.
A clinical trial conducted in preschoolers found that eliminating artificial colors from their diets significantly reduced their hyperactive behavior
.

2.
A 21-day study showed that lemon yellow dye, called lemon yellow, causes irritability, irritability, and sleep disturbances
in children with suspected ADHD.
In addition, the effect is more pronounced
when a higher dose of the dye is given.

In an earlier study, patients with chronic urticaria (an allergic skin disease) received a diet
that removed all color additives and preservatives.
Then give them capsules
containing lemon yellow dye.
The results showed that 34% of patients improved
their diet without artificial colors.
Meanwhile, 8% of patients with chronic urticaria and 20% of patients with aspirin intolerance showed sensitivity
to lemon yellow.

/ Vitamins with added sugars /

It is well known that too much sugar in the diet can lead to weight gain, inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic health problems
.
In fact, the sugar hidden in the supplement may prevent you from getting into ketosis
.

Sticky vitamins are more likely to contain added sugars, which makes them taste very sweet
.

Check out the ingredient list for common names for sugars, such as glucose, dextrose, fructose, juice concentrates, and corn syrup
.

The ingredients of the
product are from high to low.
So, if you find sugar listed as one of the top three ingredients, it means your gummy vitamin is full of sugar, and it's best to avoid it
.

4 There is no substitute for a healthy ketogenic diet

At the end of the day, a comprehensive ketogenic diet that includes a variety of different whole, unprocessed foods, natural foods always trump supplements
.

But it's also okay to take supplements in certain conditions where you need to learn to choose and avoid vitamins
containing titanium dioxide, artificial dyes, and added sugars.
