  • Scary what the FDA lets into food
This book is nice and small so you can take it to the store with you to look up ingredients. I was suprised at how small this book actually is. But I was more suprised at what the FDA says is ok for human consumption. This book doesn't go into super detail about what additives will do to you, but has a good system to quickly tell you what ones are good for you, bad for you, and ones that won't hurt you. This book was a good purchase. ... show more

  • Must have at the grocery store.
This book is for you if you've ever been curious about what's in your food. Ever look at the ingredient list on a bag of potato chips or frozen turkey and wonder what the heck is in it? Well this is a small, compact guide that fits in your back pocket that will tell you everything you need to know about what you're eating. ... show more

  • Very Informative
First of all, I am a mother of four who is dedicated to feeding my children healthy and not harmful foods. It is very difficult for a person to go to the grocery store and discern what the ingredients of a specific food product are. There are so many ingredients with such strange names, it is hard to tell what you are actually eating. This book is very small, but she lists many of the additives that are commonly found in products and gives them a rating based on how harmful or helpful they are. She also explains why she gives them this rating. Myself and my children all have multiple food allergies and some of us deal with Celiacs as well. Gluten and Corn etc. are hidden in strange names and this book helps to point out what additives to avoid if you have allergies to certain foods. I wish she would have mentioned more about natural sugar substitutes though. She brings alot out about artificial sweeteners and their dangers. She does bring out that table sugar, organic cane sugar, etc is still sugar and to be eaten with caution in small amounts. She didn't mention honey, brown rice syrup, agave nectar, pure maple syrup and I would have liked her to talk more about those ingredients. But in all its a wonderful resource that can be put in your purse and taken along to the grocery store as a quick reference. ... show more

  • Enlightening and complete
Read this before you buy anything. Very enlightening and horrifying. You will never look at a label the same way again. Outstanding reference work; take it to the grocery store with you!

A great book when you wish to know exactly what you are putting into your mouth. Deanna's moto is, if you cannot pronounce it, never eat it.

  • Not my favorite layout for quick reference
It’s a small book, which is fine but the layout along with size makes it difficult for me to use in a supermarket, where I need instant info.
