Helpful information on food additives
Did you think we’d gone away forever? Sorry about the lag in posting. I’ve been posting my rear end off about the Olympics and I’m just now coming up for air.
I received an email from a customer today asking me about a list of food additives and their safety. In researching the answer for her, I came across a website that would be useful for most consumers. It is a listing of food additives with their safety ranking, from a green check for “it’s fine” to a big red x for things that no one should consume. Now, I must say, I still think the best rule of thumb is “if you can’t tell what it is, don’t eat it”, I know that the reality is most of us eat processed foods at some point in time, and it’s probably a good idea to be able to figure out just how bad for you a substance is before you buy it for yourself or for your kids.
I’ll be back to publishing articles much more often now that the Olympics are just about over. Oh, and if you like, check out my new vegetarian blog. I try to post a new vegetarian recipe just about every day.
