EDTA is a unique sort of a thing that does us a lot of good. On the one hand, it can extract nastiness from our bodies, and on the other, it can keep food fresh for longer. To understand how it works and why it matters, let's take a deeper dive into EDTA.
EDTA is also a component of chelation therapy. This therapy removes cancer causing, cell damaging heavy metals from our bodies. Too much of these metals can make us sick. EDTA operated like a magnet, drawing the metals from us so our bodies could just get rid of them. It keeps us healthy and strong.
And we can really be poisoned by having too heavy metals. They can make us sick and tired. But EDTA can help by snatching up these metals and clearing them out of our bodies. With this, we’re feeling better and it allows our bodies to function as they are supposed to. It’s a kind of superhero who battles the villains — in us!
EDTA does more than simply protect our bodies; it makes its way into personal care products, like shampoo and lotion. In such products, EDTA serves as a preservative that ensures the product remains fresh and safe to use. It prevents the bad bacteria from growing and spoiling the product. That being so, then we can use them with pleasure for a longer time, without having a bad conscience about them.
Ever wonder how food stays fresh for so long? Well, EDTA helps with that! EDTA, when put in food, prevents the food from going bad for a little bit. It kills bad bacteria so it can’t grow to make us sick. So the next time you read a food label with EDTA, just know that it’s keeping you safe and your food flavorful.
Although EDTA is of great benefit, it can also be harmful to the environment when not used judiciously. That’s why scientists are searching for safer replacements that will be able to do the same job without damaging the body. With new methods for keeping our bodies and the Earth safe, we can all live another healthful and happy day.
