  • Enlightening and complete
Read this before you buy anything. Very enlightening and horrifying. You will never look at a label the same way again. Outstanding reference work; take it to the grocery store with you!

  • Scary what the FDA lets into food
Format: Paperback
This book is nice and small so you can take it to the store with you to look up ingredients. I was suprised at how small this book actually is. But I was more suprised at what the FDA says is ok for human consumption. This book doesn't go into super detail about what additives will do to you, but has a good system to quickly tell you what ones are good for you, bad for you, and ones that won't hurt you. This book was a good purchase. ... show more

  • Not as complete as it could be
Format: Paperback
Even though this book contains good information of many of the additives in foods, it doesn't cover others. I found that even those that the author gave an A to were not something I would necessarily want in my food, as she doesn't detail important information about them of which I'm aware.

  • Very Informative
Format: Paperback
First of all, I am a mother of four who is dedicated to feeding my children healthy and not harmful foods. It is very difficult for a person to go to the grocery store and discern what the ingredients of a specific food product are. There are so many ingredients with such strange names, it is hard to tell what you are actually eating. This book is very small, but she lists many of the additives that are commonly found in products and gives them a rating based on how harmful or helpful they are. She also explains why she gives them this rating. Myself and my children all have multiple food allergies and some of us deal with Celiacs as well. Gluten and Corn etc. are hidden in strange names and this book helps to point out what additives to avoid if you have allergies to certain foods. I wish she would have mentioned more about natural sugar substitutes though. She brings alot out about artificial sweeteners and their dangers. She does bring out that table sugar, organic cane sugar, etc is still sugar and to be eaten with caution in small amounts. She didn't mention honey, brown rice syrup, agave nectar, pure maple syrup and I would have liked her to talk more about those ingredients. But in all its a wonderful resource that can be put in your purse and taken along to the grocery store as a quick reference. ... show more

Very thorough book and useful information for the person aware of unhealthy food additives. Each item is rated according to safety and how much you can have before it is dangerous.
