One of the main components with the “trigger” foods is salicylates. Known most commonly in aspirin, salicylates are also in many foods such as certain fruits, artificial flavors, preservatives, and food dyes. Many of the FDA “approved” dyes also contain lead, mercury, arsenic and other harmful toxins. These toxins attack blood cells, the nervous system, and the mitochondria, (the cell’s energy center).
