Artificial food preservatives, food colors and flavour enhancers, these are dangerous chemicals added to our food and are known to be linked to Hyperactivity, Attention-Deficit Disorder (ADD), Asthma, Cancer and other medical conditions.Where to look for food additives on a product label?When buying groceries, these additives are listed (if it’s given by the law) on the food product’s packaging under “INGREDIENTS:” or “CONTAINS:” section, usually next to “Nutrition Information” but the code numbers or names of these additives could be printed on in a small font. In my opinion placement of the text can be somewhat hidden or even misleading. Any dangerous additives added in the food, if the product contains any, really should be listed visibly and labeled on the pack for instance as “Nasty Additives“.330 and E330 Citric AcidHow about the Citric Acid E330 or 330? In the year 1953 Sir Hans Krebs received Nobel Prize for physiology medicine for discovering that the Citric acid in metabolic reactions acts as part in series of compounds occurring within physiological oxidation of proteins, carbohydrates and fats and turning them into water and Carbon dioxide. Called Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle or known as the Krebs Cycle which is involved in most metabolic reactions, where the Citric acid plays a major role.* The world “krebs” translates to English word “cancer” … and that’s what created the misunderstanding that citric acid 330 - e330 causes cancer. But in fact it does not. However, it could melt your teeth if you kept it in your mouth for long or if you consumed soft drinks a lot. It is organic acid used as additive in foods, in soft drinks, in beer, wine or cheese production, citric acid prevents bacteria growth, it gives the citric/sour flavour, bakers use it, citric acid E330 or 330 is often added to cakes, biscuits, soups, all sorts of sauces, frozen packed and canned food products, sweets, marmalade’s, ice creams … you can find it mentioned on the packaging.

Matthews Says: July 17th, 2008 at 11:12 pm Great list thanks so much! I just printed it and am sticking it somewhere handy on a wall.Could you add the 330 additive? Somebody in the shop told me it’s dangerous but I know for sure it is ok additive. Jill Says: July 19th, 2008 at 2:14 am matthews, agreed 330 is all right. it’s been added on the page now . i guess it wasn’t included in this table as it contains only food additives that are bad. the citric acid is not among those . Thanks for the comprehensive code breaker list ! Rado Says: July 21st, 2008 at 8:08 pm @Ben, @Matthews, @Jill,Thank you for visiting and for posting your comments. Hope to see you some more! mum Says: July 27th, 2008 at 6:36 pm Your site- http://www.traditionaloven.com is excellent site, respect. Enhancers Says: August 4th, 2008 at 7:14 pm Hey! Thanks for the info. I was actually looking for something like this to sharpen my dieting skills. This will really help to rid some of the harmful things I eat. Justin Says: September 8th, 2008 at 7:02 pm From the latest study in London involving 300 children, they have not performed well at school for the year when the research took place.Top 6 very common food additives making your kids hyperactive during school hours and elsewhere. All these listed are being added into products as chemical food colouring and the chemicals can be found in soft drinks, breakfast meals, sweets and many other foods not only for children. All of these colours are also linked to cancer or asthma.code - name:102 - Tartrazine104 - Quinoline Yellow110 - Sunset Yellow122 - Azorubine124 - Brilliant Scarlet, Ponceau129 - Allura Red Doug Garoutte Says: September 9th, 2008 at 8:48 pm Can you cross reference these numbers to names used here in the US? here they are called Yellow Lake # 6, Red #4, etc. These dye numbers are not listed as ingredients. I do know tartrazine is Yellow #5, … Rado Says: September 11th, 2008 at 7:28 pm Hi Doug, thanks.Is this only for food colors (colours in Au.) or do the US particular #’s apply to all kinds of food additives, …. preservatives, flavour enhancers, etc.?Yes of course I can organize creating of a new table with all the needed cross references and post it in here. Gary Says: September 19th, 2008 at 1:21 pm I read an article, written by the noble anti-cancer crusaders Cancer Research, that essentially stated that aspartame was safe to consume, Aspartame 951 artificial sweetener. I was really shocked. It just seems that mainstream groups, as they become more mainstream appear to become more compromised. In today’s climate it’s almost as if being concerned about the dangers of the manipulation of food, such as adding sweeteners or GM foods etc. makes one a fanatic that shouldn’t be taken seriously.When reputable organisations come out on the side of the food industry who are clearly unconcerned about the health of the people who consume their products, it really does make one realise that this is a very serious. Many appear to be bent on stopping at nothing in order to increase their profits. Where will all this end? I am worried.It is sad to observe that those whose stated objective is to rid us of this awful disease could possibly ignore research that concludes that certain ‘foods’ can cause cancer, & on top of that write an article that condones the use of such possibly dangerous substances. One would expect them to err on the side of caution at the very least & to urge the public to do the same. Is that really too much to expect?Good luck to those of you who are willing to state the facts & help us to make informed decisions regarding our diet. Chris Says: September 24th, 2008 at 9:55 pm Thanks for an interesting website. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the internet trying to decipher all the ‘numbers’ and yours is most informative. The chemical companies risk losing millions (if not billions) of dollars if anyone really proves how dangerous these food ‘numbers’ are. Hence there is a lot of misdirection and false information mainly influenced by these clongomerates protecting their $. That’s why they don’t use the same name for the chemical additive or number all over the world to make our life more difficult in trying to work out what we should and should not eat.
