Additives lurk in everyday diets
“People in Britain consume on average 20 different food additives every day, with some eating up to 50, a study has suggested.
Yet many people are unaware of this figure, with nearly half of the 1,006 people surveyed thinking they ate only 10 additives each day. ”
Yet another warning over the food we consume. More and more attention is currently being placed on the ready made / packaged food that is sold to us. Mass marketing and consumerism has replaced simple old fashioned quality food. We need to get back to basics, cook from the raw, fresh ingredients, so we know what we are eating, That way we can be sure we are having a healthy diet, and if we are not, we will only have ourselves to blame.

Some additives are very useful, in that they prevent foods going mouldy, but if you cook everyday from freshly purchased ingredients, then this should not be an issue. Removing additive from our diets entirely is no easy process, but a good start is to cut back on ready meals, including ready cooked meats and pies, and buy more fresh ingredients.
