Episode 93: Should I worry about preservatives?

In this chat, I talk about preservatives in food and why it’s not worth stressing over every little ingredient. Instead of getting caught up in avoiding certain foods, I focus on the bigger picture—eating mostly whole, minimally processed foods without overcomplicating things. I also share my thoughts on those food-rating apps that make quick judgments based on preservatives (spoiler: they’re not super helpful). The main takeaway? It’s better to focus on overall eating habits and setting positive goals rather than just cutting things out.
