Book Reviews of A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives: Descriptions in Plain English of More Than 12,000 Ingredients Both Harmful and Desirable Found in Foods (Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives)
Book Review: A useful book
Summary: 4 Stars
Didn't have everything I was looking for, like soda - I see that a lot in ingredients, but could never get a clear understanding of what it actually is. However the book is good. I only wished they made a pocket-size version to take with me when I go shopping for food.

The essential guide for making sure your food is safeA Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives is back again, in an updated sixth edition. This valuable reference gives you all the facts about the relative safety and side effects of more than 12,000 ingredients that end up in your food as a result of processing and curing, such as preservatives, food-tainting pesticides, and animal drugs. For example, drugs used to tranquilize pigs may sedate diners!
There are hundreds of new entries to this edition, and topics covered include information about recently discovered resistant strains of bacteria credited to the antibiotics added to animal feed, as well as startling statistics on the amount of money spent on certain additives each year-$1.4 billion-on just flavorings and flavor enhancers.
A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives is a precise tool that will tell you exactly what to leave on supermarket shelves as a reminder to manufacturers that you know what the labels mean and which products are safe to bring home to your family.
