A consumer's dictionary of food additives

"With our culture's growing interest in organic foods and healthy eating, it is important to understand what food labels mean and to learn how to read between the lines. This completely revised and updated edition of A Consumer's Dictionary of Food Additives gives you the facts about the safety and side effects of more than 12,000 ingredients--such as preservatives, food-tainting pesticides, and animal drugs--that end up in food as a result of processing and curing. It tells you what's safe and what you should leave on the grocery-store shelves"--Back cover
