A little note on food additives allowed in our foods

As I go through the report I am writing it is even apparent that it is very easy to get lost in the mass of misinformation on diets and nutrition. Take the following list as an example. There are elements of it that are naturally occurring and yet some that are proven to elicit health problems.
The lack of education and clarity on additives is something that should be addressed so people can make informed decisions on their nutritional choices.

This will give you even more need to eat naturally and stay away from processed foods.......it's a long list!!
