Hazardous dyes and food additives “E”
Marking “E” on food. Main indicator naturalness and quality of the product – lack of food additives, those same, notorious and alarming letters “E”. Manufacturers claim some are harmless, right this?
Scary or harmless “E” in products
Doctors, in particular, nutritionists, are categorical in their judgments. They are against the letters “E”, and not without reason. Let’s see what hiding behind this letter with various numbers as far as it dangerously.
What is the point of manufacturers to indicate on the package that the composition Does the product include true poison? Where does this honesty come from? Maybe if additives without hesitation indicate on the packaging, then not so scary and dangerous? Even how dangerous!
They write about them honestly and frankly only because none of consumers really do not know about these supplements, although on the Internet information – a dime a dozen!
People are sometimes indifferent that they use harmful additives in homemade dishes.

All of them processed by preservatives of group “E”, more precisely E-230, 231 or 232, and it is nothing but phenol. In certain doses, this substance provokes cancer – it is proved!
