Food Additives: A Shopper's Guide To What's Safe & What's Not

Customer Reviews:

Changed my life!

By Johanne - March 7, 2002

About 1 year ago, I began having a lot of pain in my joints. After several doctors, I still did not have an explanation of why my joints hurt and why I was gaining weight eventhough I had always exercised and watched my diet. One doctor mentioned that red meat could trigger arthritis. I decided to find out more about nutrition and since I have a severe peanut allergy, I wanted to find out if any of the "safe" foods I was eating could contain peanuts. When I bought "Food Additives : A Shopper's Guide To What's Safe & What's Not, 2001 Revised Edition",
I was shocked to find out that many of the additives that I assumed were safe actually contained peanuts. This book has become my "nutrition bible" I carry it with me wherever I go. Since using this book, I have been able to avoid many additives that could be harmful to me. Within 1 month, I was able to begin an exercise program again without pain and I actually lost the weight I had gained... read more

Excellent pocket sized source to avoid the nasties!

By George Washington - September 14, 2000

This book is very convenient because in just fits in your back pocket. It serves as a guide for food additives found in almost all food. I liked the convenience of this book, as I was able to slip it into the back pocket and refer to it as I shopped. Although I enjoyed the book, it is very basic, generally publishing most info from the FDA guidelines on food safety. The only problem with that is that the FDA leans towards the "everything is safe [fit for consumption] until it is absolutely proven to be harmful" philosophy (GRAS); instead of, "it is unsafe [unfit for consumption] until it is absolutely proven safe. This philosophy benefits the food industry and not the individual consumer. Why does the congressional Food Protection Committee receive funding from the food industry and still claim that they are looking out for your best interest? Dr. George Schwartz who found a pamphlet published by the FDA on the safety "facts" on MSG had... read more

Food Additives--Please Update

By Patricia Michaels - March 9, 2006

The size of this book is excellent for carrying in your pocket or handbag, and facilitates use in the supermarket. The contents are generally good, and very helpful, but I believe the author should review it with an eye for being under-critical about some listings. For example, there are those of us who, due to recent reports, believe that the yellow artificial sweetener should be consumed with great caution, if at all, but the book does not address this. Considering the fact that this is a book concerned with health, I would strongly urge the author to be more critical in the evaluation of food ingredients. Those of us who are highly sensitive to food additives require stringent guidelines.
