Top Secret Recipes

1. Soy Lecithin

The study shows how as much as 93% of soy is genetically modified. The soy like this plays a huge role into detrimental effects on reproduction and fertility.
On top of that, it could lead to cerebral abnormalities and breast cancer.

2. PGPR

It’s written shortly to make people let it go quickly. The PGPR is short for Polyglycerol polyricinoleate. The manufacturer replaced the cocoa butter to lower the cost of the production.
PGPR is made from castor beans, and it’s in your favorite peanut butter cups to reduce the “viscosity” of the chocolate.
The PGPR connects with gastrointestinal problems and could provoke an allergic reaction in children.

3. TBHQ

Another short name for an ingredient. TBHQ stands for tertiary butyl hydroquinone. It’s a petroleum derivative that can be EXTREMELY toxic.
Some side effects of this ingredient are:

• Vomiting

According to research, TBHQ damages the lungs and attacks umbilical cells in humans.
It can provoke stomach cancer.
