Publisher's Synopsis
Recognize, identify, and eliminate the most harmful ingredients from your diet you never knew you consumed every day!
These days, the food on our tables is a far cry from what our grandparents ate. While it may look and taste the same and is often marketed under familiar brand names, our food has slowly but surely morphed into something entirely different-and a lot less benign.

Whether you're an experienced label reader or just starting to question what's on your plate, Badditives! helps you cut through the fog of information overload. With current, updated research, Badditives! identifies thirteen of the most worrisome ingredients you might be eating and drinking every day. Learn about:
