Food additives are substances added to food to preserve flavor or enhance its taste and appearance. Some additives have been used for centuries; for example, preserving food by pickling (with vinegar), salting, as with bacon, preserving sweets or using sulfur dioxide as in some wines. With the advent of processed foods in the second half of the 20th century, many more additives have been introduced, of both natural and artificial origin.

A. Not all additives are bad. For instance Annatto is often used to colour cheese and has an e number (E160B) but is a completely natural spice that you can buy on its own for culinary purposes - its common to Mexican, Caribbean, Latin American and Filipino cooking and prized for its nutmeggy peppery taste. Turmeric is another example (usually E100) and there is currently a debate about the fact that some evidence exists that it can prevent bowel cancer. Too read more about these spices see the source. However, in general I agree that many additives are unecessary. In particular I am against the over salting and over-sweetening of foods. We do most of our own cooking but occasionally, like many families have a need for quick ready meals. … [cont.]

Which food additives affect behaviour in children?
Q. Come someone tell me, or provide me with a good resource on which food colourings/additives affect a child's behaviour? I've noticed a dramatic change in my 3 year old son's behaviour (whom I suspect may have ADHD) when I stopped giving him his multi-vitamins and foods with alot of artificial colouring, but I'm not sure which foods/colours I should be actually avoiding. Thanks in advance! Rhonda, thank you for your insight, but a search on how food additive affect behaviour brings up alot of links on ADHD as well. It seems that children with ADHD are more sensitive to the colourings in food, therefore would possibly react a little more intensly than a child without ADHD

A. I have to face this problem this year since I am lactose, gluten and soy intolerant. And not a big fan of sugar :) - Pumpkin Scones. Some recipes say use sugar but you don't have to. Just blend some pumpkin in a blender to use as a juice and add them to a normal scone recipe. - Apple Bites. Core an apple then cut into quarters. Cut a wedge from the skin side of each quarter. Then use silvered almonds as teeth by pressing them in place. - Eyeballs. Cut a carrot into reasonable sizes, top with a blob of cream cheese and half a black olive - Monster Hands. Get some clear gloves and fill with a mix of dried fruit or any healthy snack you like. Draw some red or green one fingernails on with a marker. Tie at end of glove with some ribbon for… [cont.]
