   Great list thanks so much! I just printed it and am sticking it somewhere handy on a wall.

   Could you add the 330 additive? Somebody in the shop told me it’s dangerous but I know for sure it is ok additive.

   matthews, agreed 330 is all right. it’s been added on the page now . i guess it wasn’t included in this table as it contains only food additives that are bad. the citric acid is not among those . Thanks for the comprehensive code breaker list !

   From the latest study in London involving 300 children, they have not performed well at school for the year when the research took place.

   Top 6 very common food additives making your kids hyperactive during school hours and elsewhere. All these listed are being added into products as chemical food colouring and the chemicals can be found in soft drinks, breakfast meals, sweets and many other foods not only for children. All of these colours are also linked to cancer or asthma.

   code - name:

   102 - Tartrazine 104 - Quinoline Yellow 110 - Sunset Yellow 122 - Azorubine 124 - Brilliant Scarlet, Ponceau 129 - Allura Red

   Can you cross reference these numbers to names used here in the US? here they are called Yellow Lake # 6, Red #4, etc. These dye numbers are not listed as ingredients. I do know tartrazine is Yellow #5, …

   Hi Doug, thanks.

   Is this only for food colors (colours in Au.) or do the US particular #’s apply to all kinds of food additives, …. preservatives, flavour enhancers, etc.?

   Yes of course I can organize creating of a new table with all the needed cross references and post it in here.

    I read an article, written by the noble anti-cancer crusaders Cancer Research, that essentially stated that aspartame was safe to consume, Aspartame 951 artificial sweetener. I was really shocked. It just seems that mainstream groups, as they become more mainstream appear to become more compromised. In today’s climate it’s almost as if being concerned about the dangers of the manipulation of food, such as adding sweeteners or GM foods etc. makes one a fanatic that shouldn’t be taken seriously. When reputable organisations come out on the side of the food industry who are clearly unconcerned about the health of the people who consume their products, it really does make one realise that this is a very serious. Many appear to be bent on stopping at nothing in order to increase their profits. Where will all this end? I am worried. It is sad to observe that those whose stated objective is to rid us of this awful disease could possibly ignore research that concludes that certain ‘foods’ can cause cancer, & on top of that write an article that condones the use of such possibly dangerous substances. One would expect them to err on the side of caution at the very least & to urge the public to do the same. Is that really too much to expect? Good luck to those of you who are willing to state the facts & help us to make informed decisions regarding our diet.

    Thanks for an interesting website. I’ve been doing a lot of research on the internet trying to decipher all the ‘numbers’ and yours is most informative. The chemical companies risk losing millions (if not billions) of dollars if anyone really proves how dangerous these food ‘numbers’ are. Hence there is a lot of misdirection and false information mainly influenced by these clongomerates protecting their $. That’s why they don’t use the same name for the chemical additive or number all over the world to make our life more difficult in trying to work out what we should and should not eat.

    The article is very informative for food additives which might lead to serious health disorders. It is better said that the prevention is better than cures. This is the lesson which I come to know by the post.

    It should be noted the 123 & E123 (Amaranth - red food color #2), when listed just as amaranth, can also refer to a wholesome plant used as a leaf vegetable, cereal, or ornamental and whose seeds can be ground into flour.

    Great list of dangerous food additives. It is scary that such a long list could be compiled and that they are often in foods that we eat.

    I have just had a life threatening allergic reaction to enhancers E635 and E621. These food enhancers should be band all over the world. Symptoms were, Swollen toungue, swollen face and lips and huge itchy red welts and rashes over my body.

    Thanks so much for the informative list dangerous food additives. We really have to keep on top of these for our children’s sake. I can see the reaction within one hour if my daughter (4) consumes some of these additives - the result is very ugly and it completely changes her personality. I am now also seeing evidence in my younger son’s (1) behaviour as he begins to want different foods like other kids.

    So a big thank you for making it easier for me to stay on top of these terrible additives.

    Hello again! You were the first port of call for my research on preservatives and I thank you for the information. You also helped me out a while back with your very helpful advice on prevention and healing of cold sores. I tried the lemon balm - good results. My recent attack didn’t develop beyond the first tingles and first symptoms. Diet - avoidance of certain foods and boosting my immune has certainly helped. Many blessings to you!

    Added by admin; Paula, thank you for your lovely feedback. Warm regards! r
