I'm thinking I need to knock out all preservatives. I have type 2 diabetes?

Question

I have a hard time with gut bacterial.  And I am on a lot of meds for HBP, cholesterol, diabetes, etc.

I've read that preservatives were only tested for cancer, not other health issues.

Anyone tried this? Anything you can share?

Yes, it's probably worth thinking about.

I tend to eat on a scale of normal to low carb paleo.

"normal" <-> preservative-free <-> paleo <-> low carb paleo

I consider preservative-free as the second step up from "normal" eating, but I think it's my most important level. I try to think as preservatives as a form of poison. Your gut bacteria is exceedingly important to keep healthy.

I;ve been preservative free for 10 years, and NOTHING helps the diabtes except a good solid healthy diet and a HIGH l;evel of exercies.
