Australia today is facing a health crisis such as we have never seen before. Rates of asthma, cancer, obesity ADHD and behavioural disorders in children are all alarmingly high. What is happening and what can we do to safeguard our own health and the health of our children? Our diets must be part of the problem and fixing our diets must be a large part of the solution.
The use of food additives in our everyday foods has increased so rapidly over the past 50 years that is getting increasingly difficult to find foods which are additive free. What is most concerning is the fact that there are many food additives used in our foods which are known to be harmful. Many are known to be bad for children and asthmatics, many are not recommended during pregnancy and some additives are banned overseas and yet still permitted for use in Australian foods. Additive Alert will tell you quickly and easily which ones you need to avoid, and why.
This book is must read for anyone who cares about their health and especially anyone responsible for feeding children. It shows very clearly how many of the additives in food may do us real harm, especially in the case of young children. Since reading this book I will certainly be using the Additives to Avoid Card on all trips to the supermarket.
This remarkable book will tell you:
What food additives are and why they are used.
Which ones are safe and which ones are not.
How additives are linked to health problems.
How to read and understand food labels – what the manufacturers do not tell you.
Which additives are considered unsafe overseas yet still used in Australia.
How to take control of your kitchen and make healthier choices for you and your family.
Things you can do to help make a difference.
