✡ I subscribe to Nutrition Action Healtletter a great source of information related to various commercial foods, including my favorite section: Food Porn, this edition takes on Kozy Shack.
This edition has a great set of recommendations for chemicals to avoid in your diet, entitled Chemical Cuisine. Take a look at the pdf, which include a handy pocket chart to take to the store with you. The one that troubled me is Quinine, rated at caution/certain people should avoid. Wow, maybe Gin and Soda is a better option?
Some things to avoid: Propyl Gallate, Potassium Bromate, Sodium Nitrate/Nitrite.
Personally, when I read the ingredients of my food, I think to myself “does this need to be there?” Can I get bread with only grain, water, sugar, yeast, salt? Yes, but it is very hard to find. Yesterday at Shop-Rite it was astonishing that the healthy food seem to be disappearing from the market. I was only there because A&P has already gone that way. Is the rising cost of fuel and food making healthy food too costly?
