Product Description
With almost daily reports in the media about the questionable safety of chemicals and additives in food and cosmetics, buying organic is moving from cult status to the mainstream. The proof? Wal-Mart is going “green,” introducing organic foods chainwide. Label reading is way up-but how do you make sense of the information, particularly when ingredients have unpronounceable names and effects that can’t be easily researched by ordinary people? What’s in Your Food? includes all of the additives used in foods and cosmetics distributed in America. It’s formatted alphabetically by ingredient with easy-to-read tables that tell at a glance the health risks posed by each one. A column with smiley faces that are happy, sad, or neutral gives an instant reading of the author’s conclusions. Our edition includes a glossary, appendix, and other helpful info thoroughly researched and easy to understand. A bonus section on additives found in health and beauty items rounds out the comprehensive approach. Although rich in the details needed to make wise buying decisions, the book is purposely compact to fit easily into pocket or purse, so it’s always handy for a trip to the market. |

Handy Guide by P. Ojala (Orlando, FL USA)  4 Stars
August 30, 2008
I found this book to be a handy, quick reference to the hundreds of additives commonly found today. The one drawback to the book was in the printing of the tables - they were printed in shades of gray - dark for avoid, gray for caution, and white for safe. It was difficult to read the entries for the items to avoid because the background shading for these entries was almost too dark.

Betty Boop Meant to Give this Book 4 Stars by Julia H. Rice (germantown, MD)  5 Stars
April 09, 2008
I bought 3 copies of this book. I keep one in my kitchen, car and purse. It's compact size makes it easy to keep close at hand and I refer to it constantly. Ever since I connected the dots between what I eat and how I feel, I care ALOT about what I put into my mouth. I want to know why these chemicals are in my food And I Want To Know Where They Came From!!I hope the author will expand and update this book soon.

Awesome by imPLoDeR (Redmond, WA) 5 Stars
November 04, 2007
This book is great, one of many on food additives and other chemicals we are allowed to use. People have to realize we have been using chemicals like this for less than 80 years. We don't even have a full lifetime of studies to fall back on. These chemicals are not like aspirin which we know what it's effects, good and bad are and it has been around for over 120 years.
In short, choose wisely with this knowledge, eat natural when ever you can, you only live once. You can't buy another body like you can a car. btw: it is not natural to drink another animals breast milk as food.
