Recognise, identify, and eliminate from your diet the most harmful ingredients, such as high fructose corn syrup, aluminium, carrageenan, and more, that you never knew you consumed every day!

These days, the food on our tables is a far cry from what our grandparents ate. While it may look and taste the same and is often marketed under familiar brand names, our food has slowly but surely morphed into something entirely differentโ€”and a lot less benign.

Ever wondered how bread manages to stay "fresh" on store shelves for so long? How do brightly coloured cereals get those vibrant hues? Are artificial sweeteners really a healthy substitute for sugar? Whether you're an experienced label reader or just starting to question what's on your plate, A Consumer's Guide to Toxic Food Additives helps you cut through the fog of information overload.

With current, updated research, A Consumer's Guide to Toxic Food Additives identifies thirteen of the most worrisome ingredients you might be eating and drinking every day. Learn about:

  • The commonly used flavour enhancers you should avoid at all costs
  • Two synthetic sweeteners that are wreaking havoc on the health of Americans in ways ordinary sugar does not
  • Artificial colours and preservatives in your child's diet and how they have been linked directly to ADHD
  • The "hidden" ingredients in most processed foods that were declared safe to consume without ever really being researched
  • The hazardous industrial waste product that's in your food and beverages
  • The toxic metal found in processed foods that has been linked to Alzheimer's
  • The invisible meat and seafood ingredient that's more dangerous than "Pink Slime"

In a toxic world, educate yourself, change what you and your family eat, and avoid these poisons that are the known causes of our most prevalent health problems.
