Food additives that affect our health
E numbers are codes for food additives that have been assessed for use within the European Union the "E" prefix stands for "Europe".
Food additives are substances added to food to preserve flavor or enhance its taste and appearance.
A study made by the Oncology Clinic from Dusseldorf Germany referring to the side effects of food additives on the human body has created a classified ordered list of toxic or cancerous food additives. Almost all these food additives put in danger the human body. Here is a list of the most notable bad for your health food additives:
Food additives that are suspect of harming the body: E141, E150, E171, E172, E173, E240, E241, E477;
Toxic food additives that determine the apparition of serious diseases:
Dangerous food additives: E102, E110, E120, E124, E230;
Cancerous food additives: The main cancerous food additives are E123, E131, E211, E213, E214, E215, E216, E217, E239, E621, E950, E951, E954
