Food additives

Check out this web page.. up top is a list of pull down menu's. This page is very informative..

www.foodag.com/en/home.htm

It shows the ingredients found in our food as well as what they are and how toxic they can be to our bodies.

for example..:: E217 Sodium propyl p-hydroxybenzoate avoid it, banned in some countries

E220 Sulphur dioxide stemmed from coal tar; all sulphur drugs are toxic and restricted in use (in USA, FDA ¹prohibits their use on raw fruits and vegetables), produced by combustion of sulphur or gypsum; known to provoke asthma attacks and difficult to metabolize for those with impaired kidney function, also destroys vitamin B1; typical products are beer, soft drinks, dried fruit, juices, cordials, wine, vinegar, potato products

E231 Orthophenyl phenol banned in some countries; can be used for agricultural purposes; typical products are pears, carrots, peaches, plums, prunes, sweet potato, citrus fruit, pineapples, tomatoes, peppers, cherries, nectarines


E249 Potassium nitrite color fixative and curing agent for meat; nitrites can effect the body's ability to carry oxygen, resulting in shortness of breath, dizziness and headaches; potential carcinogen; not permitted in foods for infant and young children


E252@ Potassium nitrate may be stemmed from waste animal or vegetable matter; used in gunpowder, explosives and fertilizers, and in the preservation of meat; may provoke hyperactivity and other adverse reactions; potentially carcinogenic; restricted in many countries (see 249)

(note this is also used in the preservation of meat.)

E249 Potassium nitrite color fixative and curing agent for meat; nitrites can effect the body's ability to carry oxygen, resulting in shortness of breath, dizziness and headaches; potential carcinogen; not permitted in foods for infant and young children


these are but a few of the chemicals found on this site.. its downright scary what is put in our food that we don't know about. What is happening is that the food we ingest is actually poisoning our systems due to the legalities of these chemicals.

These were found in the pull down menu of "Additives" E200-E299


There are many many more.
