An Essential Household Reference...

Revised and Updated

With our culture's growing

interest in organic foods and healthy eating, it is important to understand what

food labels mean and to learn how to read between the lines. This completely revised

and updated edition of A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives gives you the facts

about the safety and side effects of more than 12,000 ingredients-such as preservatives,

food-tainting pesticides, and animal drugs-that end up in food as a result of processing

and curing. It tells you what's safe and what you should leave on the grocery-store

shelves.

In addition to updated entries that cover the latest medical and scientific

research on substances such as food enhancers and preservatives, this must-have guide

includes more than 650 new chemicals now commonly used in food. You'll also find

information on modern food-production technologies such as bovine growth hormone

and genetically engineered vegetables.

Alphabetically organized, cross-referenced,

and written in everyday language, this is a precise tool for understanding food labels

and knowing which products are best to bring home to your family.
