These additives are there simply to improve shelf-life and therefore profit. (A conspiracy theorist would also maintain that they are there for the programming too.)<br /><br />Most of the certification bodies, like the FDA in the USA do not do their own research, they commission other bodies for that, often the company making/marketing the product in the first place (like aspartame). It stands to reason that the findings are going to be "safe".<br /><br />You mention Europe - it's not all singing and dancing here - it's sneakier. We still have the same problems, centralised and further away from the people's complaints. This site <a href="http://anhcampaign.org" rel="nofollow"> The Alliance for Natural Health</a> is constantly campaigning on various issues and ridiculous laws that are imposed. It is well worth a read - I subscribe to their "e-blasts".<br /><br />Another site that I have found useful for maybe "the bigger picture" is <a href="http://the-future.uphero.com/food/" rel="nofollow">Time to Awaken</a> where other food issues are also dealt with, such as the irradiation of food and the dangers of micro-waving food. They also have some interesting links to follow.philGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4690036481702887091.post-27726408709350553932010-01-02T21:40:49.802-08:002010-01-02T21:40:49.802-08:00The data from this work, published in the journal ...The data from this work, published in the journal 'Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior', Remark that dietary habits play an important role to play in promoting excessive weight gain in children.food additivehttp://www.cb-rc.com/food-additives.htmlnoreply@blogger.com
