E for Additives

This updated edition of "E for Additives" covers 40% new additives and everything the consumer needs to know about GM foods in addition. The book shows you how to tell the difference between the additives you need in food and wine and those you don't (after all, by no means the majority of additives are bad for you). It also explains when preservatives, colourings and flavourings have a place in our food. Other topics covered include: GM foods - which issues should cause concern; additives in unexpected places; and facts on pesticides, fertilizers, antibiotics and growth hormones
