Food additives are substances (natural or artificial) added to food to improve flavor, conservation, appearance etc. Food additives are not only present in the dishes prepared and industrial but also in drinks, meat and seafood. There are sometimes added to food to replace a natural ingredient more expensive (ex : aspartame which replaces sugar in two times lower cost).
We can recognize them because they must appear in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs. All food additives have a code starting with E and followed by 3 figures. The “E” means that they have been approved by the European Union.
However attention to certain packagings where food additives are written in letters so easily deceiving the uninformed consumer ! Indeed the E102, E451 etc. many hardly reassure people who focus on the ingredients on the label.
There are several types of food additives :
- Dyes : code E100
They reinforce or give color.
- The Conservatives : code E200
They prevent the proliferation of undesirable microorganisms, to foodstuffs of mildew etc..
- Antioxidants : code E300
They decrease the oxidation that is to say that they prevent fats from turning rancid, the fruit of “Browning” cut once.
- Texture agents : code E400
They provide structure and consistency to a food. There are emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners and gelling agents.
- The acidifying : E500
They allow to correct the acidity of a food.
- Gou enhancerst : code E600
They strengthen and improve taste.
- Sweeteners : code E900
They can replace the classic sugar with a sweet taste.
Food additives can be placed in three categories : the harmless, the risky (all scientists are not in agreement) and dangerous.

Following the issuance of this evening the 16/09/13 aluminum-based vaccination and causes on our health : drug, cosmetics and food. I am outraged by made to learn via an emission and not by the Ministry of health “is he asleep ? or prefer a cause to effect” Aura-there the good sense someday ?
STRONGLY BIO HAS ALL THE LEVELS
Kind regards
We do not know what we eat! Are we not asking why? it to as many cancers!
We are to destroy the entire earth be-saying for the progress and advancement $$$$$ ,and it's really sad!
I believe that we are moving all to the destruction of nature , of the animal Kingdom, végétal par trop d’ambition sans se soucier de la protéger notre planète de l’aimer pour ce qu’elle nous donne. Amicalement Marie!
Bonjour Marie,
Je ne rajoute rien à ton commentaire je suis en parfaite adéquation avec ton point de vue 😉
Je suis tout-à-fait d’accord, je dirais même que l’on presse notre planète Terre comme un citron (exemple du pétrole)….. lorsqu’il n’y aura plus de jus qu’elle aura terminé son agonie….. eh bien c’est l’être humain qui disparaîtra en même temps… c’est vraiment triste et révoltant de se sentir impuissants à notre petit niveau …
Ce n’est pas la planète que nous tuons, mais l’espèce humaine. La planète nous survivra sans problème, et comme l’a si bien dit Dr. Macolm, la vie trouve toujours son chemin 😉
à condition que ceux qui font du bio ne soient pas plus malhonnête que les autres. Que pensez vous d’un apiculteur qui vend du “miel bio” et qui s’approvisionne auprès de grossistes qui importent du miel de Slovénie, chine ou Amérique du sud ! Ou sont les contrôles? et sur quels critères sont ils fondés ? contrôles aux frontières uniquement administratives ou prélèvements pour analyses ?
It is better to put the radar on the roads, It brings more than to genuine legislation which prohibits any addition of crap in food…
States to prohibit purely and simply any addition of hazardous products (or potentially dangerous) in food !!!
The food mafia , merchants of death , the God unique digital dough before which it tilts all without exception will win the hearts and souls until that poor rock called “Earth” is more than just a bunch of crap filthy and unlivable for future generations , The elect , which aim that has put full pockets , happy to close their eyes and certainly do not eat the food of ordinary people !!!
But why did we get here ? Because the population continues to increase and in combination with the thirst for profit is arrived at a situation where it produce ever, at a still lower cost and without worrying about the planet that we really are destroying…E.g.. all these forests destroyed to produce palm oil……Our planet suffers, is more suited to this world OVERPOPULATION and we go straight to the disaster (which has already begun elsewhere !)
Why the addendum E 385 and (E) 386 are ¨¨eviter¨¨ with exclamation point !
What is is uncertain about the harmfulness of these additives ?
Mrs. HAMEL
This is not a ” ? ” , the question is not. The point ” ! ” highlights the fact that they are harmful.
ALL TOGETHER !!!! It is already individually, to become one day the ” ALL TOGETHER ” who can change things. Let's stop the pockets of these capitalists first by stopping our shopping in the supermarket Leclerc, Auchan, Carrefour and other kills little by little shopkeepers that they make quality . Let us wake up !!! Do not continue to believe that our Government are aware of nothing. All of this is voluntary,” kill slowly all low social classes offer them poison” is their goal. It is… Read more "
Shopkeepers begin first to the quality that you recall…
I agree that the GS kill trade in proximity, but the reality is that small merchants do not always need the GS; they will destroy all alone.
They sell the same products, less fresh and often more expensive.
If they are real quality… It will survive. It is the fate of all those that do.
I try many times small trader who are supposed to make good quality …. None have satisfied me. I have often been more ripped than anything else ! The fruit seemed fine and in 3 days they were rotten. It's far more expensive than in supermarkets. Finally I was forced to find a farm that is boonies geese. Either they have some excellent products, but go takes me a lot of time and gasoline (and gasoline away leclerc, Super u etc etc…) autrement dit je ne peut quasiment jamais y… Read more "
Thanks for is very interesting post.
Very interesting article. There are 1 Child on 70 who is affected by autism in the USA. Some countries have not at all. Personally I believe that the culprit is here.
A recent study, carried out by a researcher awarded a prize, suggests that Cholic acid (E1000), shown here as little/no toxic, would in fact have a deleterious effect on male fertility, promoting the passage of fertility or diabetic disorders in the offspring.

By reading the composition of Vichy basin pellets, manufactured by McMullen Vichy health, I noticed in the composition of c es tablets, MADE TO AID DIGESTION, of magnesium salts of fatty acids.

Hello, I'm in agreement party with all your reactions. I just discovered that I am allergic to sulfites but there everywhere shit !

Pity BY starts with learning spelling
I fully agree with your comments and it makes me remember that said my grand mother in the years 50:”humanity is poisoning it even with all the chemicals that are beginning to be used in agriculture as in power” and the results are there from year to year more and more serious diseases .
