Product Description
The essential guide for making sure your food is safe
A 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.

I love these consumer's guide books. I have another one too. They are so great and convenient to have on hand. I keep this one in my kitchen.

This is another great resource by Ruth Winter. It is hard to navigate through food ingredients but this compilation makes it easier.

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.

This book has been a lifesaver (literally) for me. After years and years of suffering I was diagnosed with "painless" migraines. They are most often caused by food allergies.
This book helped me track what additives triggered the migraines.
It has also helped me know that many additives also cause serious food cravings. It is definitely helping me with my weight, too.
I would recommend it to anyone who cares about what they put in their body.
I also talk about this book on my blog about weight loss.

This is a very nice resource to learn of the ingredients in the foods we consume today. Every house should have a copy of this book.
