Are food additives harmful?
When people think of food additives, visions of harmful
chemicals pop into mind. But additives like
preservatives, colors, and flavors actually make up a
very small percentage of our daily diet. Food additives
will not cause hyperactivity or harm to your children.
In fact, preservatives help prevent spoilage, such as
the growth of mold, which can be harmful to our health.
