Those additives have been studied and linked to various diseases, and instead of taking the chance that unhealthy preservatives and flavorings might be integrated into grocery store items, people often opt for the strictly organic route so as to avoid them altogether. But everyone cannot afford the prices of organic foods or the time it takes to shop at specialty markets for them. Thus, becoming informed about the additives in everyday food items can make for an easier shopping experience and healthier items being ingested by everyone. In addition, a mass boycott of foods that contain such additives could prompt food manufacturers to remove such harmful ingredients from their products in the future. Thanks to MSN Health & Fitness contributor Jean Weiss, a list of the most medically questionable and harmful additives in everyday foods has been compiled to educate the masses. There are several that may be recognizable due to news reports and popular opinion, but others may be new to some and worthy of notation. _Click here for_ (http://www.healthnews.com/nutrition-diet/healthnews-dozen-top-12-food-additives\ -remove-from-your-diet-3374.html) the rest of this article. _http://www.healthnews.com/nutrition-diet/healthnews-dozen-top-12-food-addit ives-remove-from-your-diet-3374.html_ (http://www.healthnews.com/nutrition-diet/healthnews-dozen-top-12-food-additives\ -remove-from-your-diet-3374.html) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
