we have 3 children who eat heaps of fresh fruit, vegetables and meat in their daily diet, we went out today where they consumed a flavoured soda and a soft drink and won some CANDY lollies (they had about 3 each) have just got them to bed at 11pm!! they were all so full of energy and studidly crazy tonight – so much so that i looked up the contents of the candies and found the numbers E129, E133, E171 ?? not listed? and E330 (I know in fizzy drinks) it sent them totally hypo with no doubts – i will be sticking to fish, eggs, meat, pasta, rice, veg and fruits for their diet – and no ruddy yucky CHEMICAL FOODS from now on. xx

Hi Sally, thank you for your note! If something is not 100% safe I don’t want to go near it. What we put into our organism as food is one of the first things we should watch.

I looked up the E171 additive, it is already completely banned in Germany. PubMed.gov mentions, there is a whole paragraph about E171 food additive ( Titanium Dioxide, TiO₂ ), the language is quite technical, but so far they say that E171 can even alter DNA. An oxidative lesions were measured (changes?). The article is very current. I wonder, is this the nano Technology, nanoparticles of titanium dioxide go into foods? Nano-particle sized matter may penetrate body tissue.

I also read that from exposure to titanium dioxide – TiO₂ – nano particles, a person experienced in lungs a type of pneumonia, interstitial lung condition/disease Bronchiolitis Obliterans (BO) with Organizing Pneumonia (BOOP) (I do not know how it was delivered to his or her body). After consumption it can be found in human lymphatic system as it is hard for our organism to break it down. We can think about it also this way; lymphatic system is slow, then this e171 basically travels around slowly through our body because human body does not know what to do with it.

Well, it is used as pigment to give certain foods opacity, white opaque color. Otherwise it’s also mixed into other products, where it also could be referred to as Titania or titanium IV oxide. E.g. it’s been used as UV absorber in sunscreens, plastics, paints and coatings, paper, or some toothpastes. I will look at the other 2 E’s.

Hi, I would like your permission to use your food additive list to create an open source application that supplies information on demand? Also, do you know of other lists where the information is in a spreadsheet, csv or database etc.? added by admin: Hi Roger, This information is from my partner's work, not open source so I cannot give you the permission. But if you like or if it suits -you can directly link to this page on http://www.traditionaloven.com/articles/122/dangerous-food-additives-to-avoid , if needed.

I noticed your list did NOT mention sodium benzoate as cancerous. But if mixed with ascorbic acid, it creates BENZENE, a known carcinogen. Of note, ladies: Centrum brand Materna (prenatal) vitamins contains both ingredients. Please share this information!

Just check the harmfulness of the suspect additive – before buying given food. I use app E-Codes on my phone to doing this. But there are many others.
