Extracts. Would you recommend avoiding spice, fruit and vegetable extracts?

QUESTION:

Extracts. Would you recommend avoiding spice, fruit and vegetable extracts.


ANSWER:

Generally, yes I do avoid spice, fruit and vegetable extracts. They are ultra processed ingredients and very difficult to know each and every ingredient or process used in these ingredients. Manufacturers aren’t always forthcoming with all the details on these ingredients either.

    • This is a tricky one. To find evidence, you would need to research how the extract had been made (extracted) using what substance and then searching for evidence based on that substance. It is unlikely you would find a lot of evidence searching just for fruit extracts on their own.
