    What are those hot dog additives - 
     and what they can do to your health

    From Diary of a Nutritionist here is a selection of the several additives in hot dogs:

    Sodium Phosphate: Refers to any sodium salt of phosphoric acid. A build up of sodium phosphate is linked to kidney failure. Also considered to be a laxative, which is why it is found in bowel cleansing enemas. They are not good for bone health.
  • Sodium Erthyorbate: Used as a preservative it has no nutritional value. It is “a highly refined food-grade chemical closely related to vitamin C, synthesized from sugar, and used as a color fixative in preparing cured meats.” (USDA)
  • Sodium Nitrate: Nitrites and nitrates are converted by the body into highly carcinogenic compounds. Carcinogenic = cancer causing. Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. 

  • Beef Collagen Casing: this just gives me the heebie jeebies just thinking about it. eeek. Lets just say… that it is derived from animals, and we’ll leave it at that. Feel free to google, or read more about it here.
