List of harmful f. Complete list of permitted, prohibited and dangerous food additives Everyone should know. Alphabetical List of Chemical Symbols for Food Additives

The modern classification of food additives - the numbering system (with the corresponding names of substances) - was created in the 50s of the XX century. It was based on the assignment of a unique number to each group of similar additives in order to unify, as well as simplify the perception and use of substances designed to "improve" the properties of food.

Later, after a number of changes and improvements, this classification was included in the Codex Alimentarius (Food Code adopted by the FAO / WHO International Commission) and became widespread in Europe, as well as in some other countries. The Code is constantly being refined and supplemented, and the application of the classification standards is advisory in nature.

In Europe, the letter “E” is written in front of the additive number, and in Australia and New Zealand, additive numbers are indicated without a prefix. In our table of food additives, "E" is written everywhere, but when searching the page, it is better to enter only the number (so you will definitely find the additive you need).

Food additives banned in Russia E

All food additives that are prohibited by the supervisory authorities of the Russian Federation (Rospotrebnadzor and the Ministry of Health of Russia) are highlighted in red in the general list of additives " Prohibited in Russia (EAEU Customs Union)».

As for the mechanism for prohibiting / permitting food additives in Russia (the EAEU Customs Union), everything is quite simple here:
When making decisions on the authorization / prohibition of a particular additive, the Russian authorities are guided not by their own research, but by research published by JECFA (Joint Committee on Food Additives FAO / WHO).

This means that the food toxicology laboratory of the well-known Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences does not participate directly in the procedure for assessing the hazard / safety of food additives.

Important! In Russia, far from all food additives harmful to health are banned. Therefore, do not lose your vigilance.

"Masking" food additives harmful to health

A few years ago, most manufacturers did not hesitate to indicate food additive codes in the composition of E products. However, now on packages, cans and bottles, more and more often "E-shki" are not clear to everyone, but some overseas words that are difficult to read, let alone remember at your leisure and see how harmful / safe it is.

Therefore, when shopping, it is highly advisable to have either a phone, or a phone with a camera, or at least a pencil and a piece of paper. And even better - a smartphone with Internet access, because then you can check the safety of any food supplement on our website right in the store, "without leaving the checkout", so to speak ...

How Dangerous Are Food Additives?

It is believed that in our time, the methods and technologies for researching food additives make it possible to cut off the most harmful and dangerous of them. However, it is not.

If you closely monitor the change in the list of food additives E, it will become obvious that every year more and more “old-timers” who were once considered at least harmless disappear from it. In the media every year something like this sounds:
"Food supplement E nnn has a toxic effect and leads to the formation of malignant tumors".

Moreover, the international committee for almost all food additives sets the permissible daily intake, as well as the maximum content of a substance in a particular product. And in theory, this should protect a person from destructive intoxication. But this often does not happen!

After all, the average inhabitant of our planet eats more than one or two "improved" products during the day. The modern food industry is permeated with food additives literally through and through (the number of permitted food additives in the table is very large). And the detoxification capabilities of our body are simply not enough to remove all the harmful compounds that enter it with food.

What's more, each supplement poses an even greater threat to the least hardy and protected of us - children, the elderly and allergy sufferers. For them, all food additives E are a kind of "Pandora's boxes", from which poisoning, allergies, disorders and malfunctions of internal organs, oncology and even death can come out.

By and large, research into the potential dangers of nutritional supplements is just beginning today.

Therefore, we consider it our duty to give everyone one very simple advice: stay away from any food additives that have been assigned an E code! Well, if you can't completely eliminate them from your diet, then at least try to get to know your potential "enemy" better. And we will try to help you with this ...

In the modern world, there are practically no people left who would eat only completely natural food products. If you do not live far from civilization, somewhere in the forest, tundra, jungle or other exotic places, then the advice is not to tune in to life without food additives (E-additives). Every consumer should know that they can be in almost any product and take this fact into account.

This article will be your constant guide to nutritional supplementation in food (see table below). It will help you quickly find the necessary information and determine the degree of harmfulness of the purchased product.

To correctly answer the question of how to relate to the use of food with food additives, it is necessary to realize and weigh the main disadvantages and advantages of their use. Advantages - the product is better preserved, has a seductive appearance. Disadvantages - your body wears out by processing various chemicals, to put it simply - it is harmful to your health. And with certain doses of use - it becomes already dangerous.

Everyone has their own attitude to their health and their own priorities in life. Many have come to terms with the daily use of additives, and many, on the contrary, deliberately refuse almost everything in the store. But the fact that no one wants to get poisoned from an overdose of various chemicals or deplete from hunger is for sure. Therefore, the main advice is to carefully study the composition indicated on the food label, and know the measure of their consumption.

It is also impossible to believe blindly that the truth was written on the label. Manufacturers often add additives literally "by eye", which can lead to the manufacture of a product with a dangerously high concentration. And it happens that the manufacturer deliberately exceeds the norm in order to hide the product flaws (staleness, poor quality of raw materials).

Unfortunately, the exact composition can only be found in specialized modern laboratories. The buyer's task is to collect the available information about the product and draw the correct conclusion. The more experience and knowledge in determining the quality of a food product, the more likely you are to buy a good-quality product.

It should be said that not all food additives are chemicals. There are also natural ones, which, however, are much less. On labels, you can also often find a cryptic phrase like "identical to natural". Make no mistake - these supplements are not natural and are also synthesized. Identically natural additives are synthesized in a manner similar to a natural substance. And artificial additives are substances that do not exist in nature, but they can imitate taste, color, smell. They need to be treated with the utmost caution.

Learn to live with nutritional supplements

You shouldn't be fanatical about avoiding all foods with additives, just as you shouldn't be a chip-eater and Coca-Cola eater. To minimize the harmful effects of chemicals on your health, here are some helpful tips:

Eat vegetables and fruits every day. Dietary fiber (fiber), a substance called pectin (soluble fiber that gives firmness), helps the body to cleanse itself of toxic substances.

Do not use chemistry when the body is weakened (illness, weak immunity).

And once again about the measure - do not eat a lot of food with food additives at once. The body can process chemistry in a certain limited amount. If the norm for the use of chemicals is exceeded, human health can be undermined and damaged.

Avoid foods with unusually bright colors - a clear sign of artificial colors. Dyes can also be natural. Unusually for the season, fresh imported vegetables and fruits are also a reason to think about it.

Avoid exposing foodstuffs filled with chemicals to heat or other treatments that can generate hazardous substances. If it is nevertheless necessary to heat (frying, for example), then first study the composition of the product and the possible reaction of their ingredients. Sugar substitute aspartame (E-951), sodium nitrite (E-250) are vivid examples when, when heated, substances are formed that are much more dangerous than the additives themselves.

Information on food additives - a weapon in the hands of the buyer

Each supplement has its own allowable daily intake (ADI), which must be considered when making products. But manufacturers do not indicate the mass of additives on the product packaging and do not indicate the amount of the product at which the permissible dose of the additive would not be exceeded. Therefore, the average consumer will not benefit from the ADI figures.

Good to know: the list of all ingredients of the product (including food additives) indicated on the packaging is compiled in descending order of their quantity. In other words, the product contains most of the ingredient that is listed first, and least of all - the last one.

Below is a table of nutritional supplements, which will be very useful for the consumer and will help him in the right choice of food products. The table is constantly updated - new data is added for each food additive. If there is no information about the hazard level, this does not mean that the additive is safe.

Pay special attention to the additives that are highlighted in the table in red - they are very dangerous and prohibited... If you find such in the composition of food, immediately refuse to purchase. Avoid foods with dangerous additives marked in yellow. The average level of danger should alert the buyer to unsafeness. It is also not worth experimenting with "suspicious" and unauthorized additives. Pay special attention to additives that are highlighted in red - they very dangerous and prohibited... If you find such in the composition of food, immediately refuse to purchase. Avoid foods with dangerous additives marked in yellow. The average level of danger should alert the buyer to unsafeness. You should also not experiment with "suspicious" and unauthorized additives.

Remember that the negative effect of a substance on human health occurs if it is not consumed in moderation. There are no absolutely safe and dangerous food additives. For example, salt and sugar are considered safe additives, but when used excessively, they can significantly harm the human body. The same goes for harmful additives - with a small dose, your body can handle them without consequences. Do not panic when studying the composition of the product - think soberly and choose the best.

Also, keep in mind that some additives are not approved, not because of their danger and harm, but only because the necessary tests have not been carried out.

Please note that on the product label, food additives can be designated in different ways: by coding, full or partial name of the substance, or maybe both. Even the code can be described in different ways - through a space, through a dash, or together. Example: E-101, E101, E 101. You can find the required component in the table, if not by code, then by name.

To quickly find a food additive in the table, use the keyboard shortcut "CTRL + F"... Just dial the number or name. The table is constantly updated with new data.

What are nutritional supplements? These are various preservatives, leavening agents, thickeners that improve the aroma and taste of the finished product.

Supplements are:

• Natural - from plants; minerals, and animal origin
• Obtained in the laboratory, but similar in properties to natural
• Synthetic, man-made, nothing like this exists in nature

At first glance, there is nothing wrong. But the problem is that artificial additives, improving the taste, can be harmful to the body, and how they behave, for example, when heated, is unknown to anyone.

Are E additives harmful in food?

E supplements

To start decipher all food additives:

• If after the letter E there is 1, and then 2 more numbers, this is a dye that gives a beautiful color to the finished product.
• Number 2 - preservative, protects the product from destruction by bacteria and fungi, and prolongs the shelf life.
• 3 - antioxidant, used to extend shelf life.
• 4 - stabilizer, responsible for the consistency of the product.
• 5 - emulsifier, helps the stabilizer to maintain a beautiful appearance of the product and a homogeneous state.
• 6 - aroma and taste enhancer.
• 9 - antifoam agent that prevents the formation of foam.
• All 4-digit numbers after the E are sweeteners.

In order not to harm the body E with additives, you need to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

How not to harm the body with foods with E additives, and they are almost everywhere:

1. There are raw vegetables and fruits every day, fiber and pectins in them are able to remove toxins from the body.
2. Do not eat unnatural foods when you are sick, the body is not able to fight with illness as healthy.
3. If you know that a product contains unhealthy additives, do not eat a lot of it.
4. Don't buy brightly colored foods.
5. If you notice later that there is a harmful additive in the product, then do not heat it, because when heated, some additives become even more dangerous, for example, aspartame (E 951).

The most harmful food additives in foods, bread, sausage, chocolate, dried fruits: list, codes

Very dangerous additives that stimulate the growth of cancer cells are banned all over the world, but still sometimes, unscrupulous industrialists use:

• E 123 - amaranth... The additive causes various pathologies in an unborn child, in adults - liver and kidney diseases, skin rashes, chronic rhinitis. It is found in dry mixes for desserts, jellies, muffins and puddings, ice cream.

Food additive E 171, E 220, E 250, E 450, E 451, E 452, E 621: harmful or not?

Meat products with E additives

Additives are different, harmful and not very:

• E 171 - titanium dioxide... Promotes liver and kidney diseases, especially in children. It is found in dry mixes and milk powder.
• E 220 - sulfur dioxide... Dangerous, especially for people with kidney disease, and children, causes stomach diseases, allergies, irritates the respiratory system. The additive disinfects containers for dried fruits, and is also used in the manufacture of canned meat and fruit.
• E 250 - sodium nitrite... Used as a dye, preservative and seasoning.

So, by studying at least the beneficial supplements, you will know which products you can buy in the store and which you can't.

Video: E supplements

Today in supermarkets you can find a huge variety of products, in which it is quite easy to get confused. Bright packaging, seductive pictures, shiny labels, plus all this is complemented by promotional price tags, and we make a purchase. Stop, first you need to carefully study the packaging, namely, the composition of this product. The fewer different incomprehensible words in it, the better. For example, GOST condensed milk contains only natural milk and sugar, but the same product, but produced according to TU, has a completely different composition. It contains stabilizers and emulsifiers, as well as various substances labeled E. Today we will talk about them: a table of harmful food additives should be at hand for everyone to avoid eating them.

What are various food additives used for?

First of all, you should be alerted to the "E" markings - they denote food additives that are used all over the world as preservatives and stabilizers, flavor and aroma enhancers, thickeners and leavening agents. All this is needed to improve the appearance and nutritional properties of the product, as well as to increase its shelf life.

Why do you need a table of harmful food additives, and are all substances labeled "E" harmful? No, there are neutral, harmful and even dangerous ones, and therefore it is important for each of us to know them and be able to distinguish them. After all, the quality and duration of our life is highly dependent on what we eat. The more vitamins and minerals in the diet and less "chemistry", the better.

Natural or artificial

Despite the assurances of the manufacturers, almost all additives are artificial, which means they are potentially dangerous. These are chemicals of synthetic origin. Considering that even the safest of them sometimes cause a reaction in especially sensitive people, it is clear that the table of harmful food additives should be known to everyone. However, there is another subtlety here: not all manufacturers warn you that their product contains additives with the "E" index. Common phrases such as "does not contain artificial colors or flavors" are often dispensed with. Others note the presence of stabilizers and thickeners, but do not indicate which additives were used. In this case, there is only one way out: refuse to buy and choose a more honest manufacturer. This is especially important if the product is imported, because no one will give a guarantee that there are no prohibited products in its composition. Perhaps this will allow you to look differently at products in supermarkets, because, despite their attractive appearance, almost all of them contain preservatives.

What does the numeric code next to the letter "E" mean?

Below we will look at what the table of harmful food additives includes, but for now, let's look at what these mysterious numbers mean. If the code starts with one, then you have a dye in front of you. All preservatives start with 2, and 3 stands for antioxidants - they are used to slow down or prevent spoilage of the product. All 4 are stabilizers, substances that help to maintain the consistency of the product in the required form. The number 5 denotes emulsifiers, they work in tandem with stabilizers and preserve the structure of the product. The enhancers of taste and aroma that create the notes and shades we love so much start at 6. Some products are added with special substances that prevent foaming, they are marked with the number 9. If you have a four-digit index in front of you, this indicates the presence of sweeteners in the composition. The realities of life show that you need to know harmful food additives ("E"). The table will help you identify foods that should not be consumed in time.

Such different food additives "E"

Behind this marking can be hidden completely harmless and even useful substances, for example, plant extracts. This is the well-known acetic acid (E260). Relatively safe E additives include baking soda (E500), calcium carbonate or regular chalk (E170), and many others.

However, there are much more harmful substances than useful ones. You are mistaken if you think that these include only artificial additives, natural ones also sin with negative effects on the body. Moreover, the more often they are used, the stronger and more pronounced their effect will be.

Useful Supplements

You should not immediately return the product to the shelf just because it contains E. It is necessary to look and analyze what substance is hidden behind it. The following table of harmful and useful food additives will help you make the right choice. For example, the most common apple contains pectin, ascorbic acid and riboflavin, that is, E300, E440, E101, but it cannot be called harmful.

The most common healthful supplements are curcumin, or E100 - these substances help control weight and are actively used in the manufacture of fitness products. E101 is a common vitamin B2, which is famous for synthesizing hemoglobin and participating in the metabolism. E160d is lycopene and it helps to strengthen the immune system. E270 is a powerful antioxidant that is widely used in pharmacology. For the enrichment of food with iodine, the additive E916 is used, that is, calcium iodate. We must not forget about E322 lecithin - this supplement supports immunity and improves blood formation.

Relatively harmless additives

Today the topic of our conversation is "Table of food additives" E. "Useful and harmful, they are ubiquitous in the most common food. In this group it is necessary to mention the dyes that are used by the most famous confectionery companies to give an attractive appearance to creams and cakes. This is chlorophyrol. , or E140, green dye. Also known is betanin, that is a dye of red color. It is extracted from the most common beets, the juice of which and at home perfectly tint creams.

This group includes calcium carbonate (E170) and regular baking soda. Despite the fact that these substances do not pose a threat to life, in large quantities they can disrupt the acid-base balance in the body. E290 is regular carbon dioxide, and all carbonated drinks are made with it. Every kitchen should have a table of food additives E. Useful and harmful, they are today presented in such a large number that it is very difficult to remember what this or that substance means.

Additives to avoid

Today the table contains 11 groups of additives, among which there are dangerous, prohibited, harmful to the skin and substances that violate blood pressure. Since everyone needs to avoid foods that contain dangerous "E-shots", we will look at each group separately. You should not be negligent about your health and rely on the manufacturer. Many of them are guided only by momentary benefits and do not think about their reputation. Moreover, it is much easier to periodically close production and reopen it under a different name, releasing products with new labels. This is why you need to know the "E" harmful food additives. The table will help you navigate and not forget what this or that code means. So let's get started.

Dangerous additives

This group includes many dyes, so if you see pastries painted in a bright color, think about whether you should take them to your children. Be sure to study harmful food additives "E": the table is updated periodically, so you need to update the printout, which is best kept near the kitchen table.

This includes E102, namely tartrazine. It causes asthma attacks and is banned in several countries. E110 is a yellow dye, banned in many countries, as it causes an allergic reaction and nausea. E120 - Carminic Acid (Until research has proven harm, but doctors strongly recommend avoiding it). Red dyes E124, E127 and E129 are prohibited in a number of countries because they are carcinogenic. This also includes E155 (brown dye) and E180 (ruby rhytol).

E220 - sulfur dioskide - should be used with caution in people with renal failure. Feel free to put aside foods containing E220, E222, E223, E224, E228, E233, E242. E400, E401, E402 are recognized as dangerous.

Very dangerous

If the previous group of additives is dangerous or potentially dangerous, then the representatives of this category should be treated more than carefully. The fact is that the supplement table only gives you the code designations behind which substances that stimulate the growth of cancer cells are hidden. To completely avoid contact with them, you will have to give up most confectionery and seriously reconsider your view of the diet. The simpler the better, so bran biscuits, cereals and fruits are the safest choices.

However, back to our conversation. The table of the most dangerous additives "E" includes dyes such as E123 (amaranth). It is banned all over the world, as it causes developmental pathologies in the fetus. In addition, this group includes E510, E513E, E527.

Prohibited substances: table of the most harmful food additives "E"

It should be noted that Russia has very soft rules for manufacturing companies. Only 5 supplements are officially banned, although the number is much higher worldwide. This is E952 - cyclamic acid and its sodium, potassium and calcium salts. It is a sugar substitute that has been discontinued because it was found to be a potent carcinogen. E-216 - propyl para-hydroxybenzoic acid - is also prohibited on the territory of Russia. But that's not all of the harmful food additives ("E"). The table refers to a number of dyes to this group - these are E152, E130, E125, E126, E121, E111.

Substances causing skin rashes

Everyone imagines the influence of carcinogens on the body, so you need to do everything necessary in order to exclude from the menu products containing the most harmful food additives. A table at hand will help you stop in time and not make an unnecessary purchase. Especially women should think about, because many conditionally safe supplements cause deterioration of the skin. This is E151 (black, shiny BN) - in a number of countries it is generally prohibited. Second on the list is E231 (orthophenylphenol) and E232 (calcium orthophenylphenol). Aspartame, or E951 - a favorite sugar substitute by many - also has a number of side effects and is not recommended for use without any particular reason.

Let's summarize

You can use this table every day. A food additive, the harmful effect of which is not fully understood, should be excluded from the diet. This group includes quite a lot of different "E" - these are E124, E122, E141, E150, E171, E173, E247, E471. To optimize your diet and eat as little synthetic additives as possible, review the product packaging before purchasing. The less in the composition of various components and incomprehensible terms, the better. Do not buy unfamiliar products, as well as those on the packaging of which there is no composition, and give preference to well-known manufacturers.

Avoid foods with bright, unnatural colors. They may contain too many dyes and preservatives. Give preference to natural products, grains, fermented milk, as well as vegetables and fruits. It is such a diet that is guaranteed not to contain harmful and hazardous substances. To stay healthy for as long as possible, try to avoid foods that use harmful food additives ("E"). A table that includes the main ones will become your reliable assistant.

Food additives - useful and harmful, classification and effect on the human body

Today, it is almost impossible to find products on store shelves that do not contain food additives; they are often even put in bread. The only exception is natural food - meat, cereals, milk, herbs, etc., but even in this case, one cannot be completely sure that they do not contain any chemistry. For example, fruits are often treated with preservatives, which allows them to preserve their presentation as long as possible.

Food additives are synthetic chemical or natural substances that are never eaten on their own, but are only added to products in order to give them certain qualities, for example, taste, texture, color, odor, shelf life, appearance. Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the expediency of their use and the effect on the body. Today we also decided to touch on this topic.

The phrase "nutritional supplements" scares many. However, people began to use them many millennia ago. Of course, this does not apply to complex chemicals, we are talking about table salt, lactic and acetic acid, spices, spices, etc. Yes, they are also considered food additives. For example, carmine, a dye derived from insects, has been used extensively since biblical times to give food a special purple color. Now this substance is called E120.

Until about the twentieth century in food production tried to use only natural supplements, gradually such a science as food chemistry began to develop and most of the natural ones replaced artificial additives. The production of all kinds of quality and taste improvers was put on stream. Since most of these food additives had rather long and incomprehensible names that were very difficult to fit on one label, for convenience the European Union developed a special labeling system. According to her, the name of each food additive must begin with "E", this letter means nothing more than "Europe". After it, numbers should follow, they show the belonging of a given species to a particular group and denote a certain additive. Subsequently, such a system was somewhat refined, and then adopted for the international classification.

Classification of food additives by codes

Acidity regulators, sweeteners, leavening agents and glazing agents are included in all of these groups.

The number of nutritional supplements is increasing every day. New, more effective and safer substances replace old ones. For example, in recent years, complex supplements have become popular, which consist of a mixture of different additives. In this regard, every year the lists of permitted additives will be replenished with new ones, as a rule, such substances after the letter E have a code greater than 1000.

Classification of food additives by use

• Dyes(E1 ...) - these substances are intended to restore the color of products, which is lost during processing, to increase its intensity, to give a certain color to food, etc. Natural colors are usually obtained from the roots, berries, leaves and flowers of plants, and they can also be of animal origin. Natural dyes contain biologically active, aromatic and flavoring substances, give food a pleasant appearance. These include: carotenoids (yellow, orange, red), lycopene (red), annatto extract (yellow), flavonoids (blue, purple, red, yellow), chlorophyll and its derivatives (green), sugar color (brown), carmine (magenta) etc. There are also dyes obtained synthetically. Their main advantage over natural ones is richer, brighter colors, greater stability, and a long shelf life.
• Preservatives(E2 ...) - these substances are intended to extend the shelf life of products. Most often, acetic, benzoic, sorbic and sulfurous acids, salt, and ethyl alcohol are used as preservatives. Antibiotics - nisin, biomycin, nystatin can also act as preservatives. It is prohibited to add synthetic preservatives to food of mass production - baby food, fresh meat, bread, flour, milk, etc.
• Antioxidants(E3 ...) - such substances prevent the spoilage of fats and fat-containing foods, slow down the oxidation of wine, soft drinks and beer, and also protect fruits and vegetables from browning.
• Thickeners(E4 ...) - they are added to preserve and improve the structure of products. These substances allow you to give food the necessary consistency. Emulsifiers are also responsible for plastic properties and viscosity, for example, thanks to them, bakery products do not stale longer. All permitted thickeners are of natural origin. For example, E 406 (agar) - extracted from seaweed, is often used in the manufacture of pates, creams, ice cream. E 440 (pectin) - from apples, citrus peel, beet pulp, it is added to ice cream, jelly, etc. Gelatin is of animal origin, its main source is the bones, tendons and cartilage of farm animals. Starches are obtained from peas, sorghum, corn, potatoes. The emulsifier, and also the antioxidant E 476, E 322 (lecithin) is extracted from vegetable oils. Egg white is also a natural emulsifier. However, in recent years, synthetic emulsifiers have been used more in industrial production.
• Flavor enhancers(E6 ... and others) - their main purpose is to make the product even tastier and more aromatic. To improve the smell and taste, four types of additives are used - these are aroma enhancers, taste enhancers, acidity regulators and flavoring agents. Fresh products, vegetables, fish, meat, have a pronounced aroma and taste, since they contain a large amount of nucleotides. These substances enhance taste perception by stimulating the endings of the taste buds. During processing or storage, the number of nucleotides decreases, so they are obtained artificially. For example, ethyl maltol and maltol enhances the perception of creamy, fruity and some other aromas. These substances impart a greasy feel to low calorie mayonnaise, ice cream and yoghurts. Very often added to various products, the well-known monosodium glutamate, which has a very scandalous reputation. Many sweeteners are also controversial, especially aspartame, known to be nearly two hundred times sweeter than sugar. It is hiding under the E951 marking.
• Flavors- they are divided into natural, artificial and still identical to natural. The former contain only natural aromatic substances extracted from plant materials. These can be distillers of volatile substances, water-alcohol extracts, dry mixtures, essences. Natural identical flavors are obtained by isolation from natural raw materials or by chemical synthesis. They contain chemical compounds found in raw materials of animal or vegetable origin. Artificial flavors include at least one artificial component, and may additionally contain identical natural and natural flavors.

In the production of some products (more often fermented milk), biologically active additives are also often used. They should not be confused with food additives. The former, unlike the latter, can be used separately, as an addition to food. They can be natural or identical substances. In Russia, dietary supplements are classified as a separate category of food products. Their main purpose, in contrast to conventional food supplements, is considered to improve the body and provide it with useful substances.

Healthy Nutritional Supplements

Behind the E marking is hidden not only harmful and rather dangerous chemicals, but also completely harmless and even useful substances. Don't be afraid of all food additives. Many of the substances that act as additives are common extracts of natural products and plants. For example, in an ordinary apple there are many substances, which are designated by the letter E. For example, ascorbic acid (E300), pectin (E440), riboflavin (E101), acetic acid (E260), etc.

Despite the fact that an apple contains such a huge amount of substances that are included in the list of food additives, it cannot be called a dangerous product. The same goes for many other products.

Let's consider some of the most popular, but at the same time useful supplements.

E100 - stands for curcumin. These substances help control weight.

E101 - stands for riboflavin, it is also vitamin B2. This substance is actively involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin and metabolism.

E160d - stands for lycopene. It strengthens the immune system.

E270 - denotes lactic acid. This substance has antioxidant properties.

E300 - stands for ascorbic acid, it is also vitamin C. It helps to increase immunity, improves skin condition and brings many more benefits.

E322 - stands for lecithin. It supports the immune system, improves the quality of bile and hematopoiesis processes.

E440 - stands for pectins. These substances help to cleanse the intestines.

E916 - denotes calcium iodate. It is used to fortify food with iodine.

Neutral food additives are relatively harmless

E140 - denotes chlorophyll, thanks to this substance, plants acquire a green color.

E162 - denotes betanin, it is a dye that has a red color. It is extracted from beets.

E170 - denotes calcium carbonate, to put it simply, ordinary chalk.

E202 - denotes potassium sorbitol, this substance is a natural preservative.

E290 - stands for carbon dioxide, it helps to turn a regular drink into a carbonated one.

E500 - baking soda. True, this substance can be considered relatively harmless, since in large quantities it can negatively affect the intestines and stomach.

E913 - LANOLIN. As a rule, it is used as a glazing agent, especially in demand in the confectionery industry.

It's a pity, but there are much more harmful additives than useful ones. Moreover, these include not only synthetic substances, but also natural ones. Food additives can be very harmful, especially when consumed with food regularly and in large quantities.

Currently, the following additives are also banned in Russia:

• bread and flour improvers - E924a, E924d;
• preservatives - E217, E216, E240;
• dyes E121, E173, E128, E123, Red 2G, E240.

Harmful food additives table

Thanks to research by modern specialists, changes are regularly made to the lists of allowed and prohibited additives. It is advisable to monitor such information constantly, since some unscrupulous manufacturers, in order to reduce the cost of goods, violate the recommended production technologies.

It will not be superfluous to pay attention to additives of synthetic origin. Of course, they are not formally prohibited, but many experts consider them unsafe for human health.

For example, monosodium glutamate, which is hidden under the designation E621, is a very popular flavor enhancer, it seems, and cannot be called harmful. Even, on the contrary, our brain and heart need it, when the body lacks it, it can produce this substance on its own. However, in excess, glutamate can have a toxic effect, and most of all it gets from the liver and pancreas. In addition, it can cause addiction, allergic reactions, and damage to the brain and vision. This substance is especially dangerous for children. But the packages usually do not indicate exactly how much monosodium glutamate is contained in the product. Therefore, it is better not to abuse food containing it.

The safety of E250 also raises doubts. This substance can be called a versatile additive because it is used as a colorant, antioxidant, preservative and color stabilizer. Although sodium nitrate has been proven to be harmful, most countries continue to use it. It is usually found in sausage and meat products; it can also be present in herring, sprats, smoked fish, and cheeses. Sodium nitrate is especially harmful for those who suffer from cholecystitis, dysbiosis, liver and intestinal problems. Once in the body of such people, this substance is converted into rather strong carcinogens.

Among synthetic dyes, it is almost impossible to find safe ones. They are capable of producing mutagenic, allergenic and carcinogenic effects.

Antibiotics, often used as preservatives, cause dysbiosis and can cause many intestinal diseases. Thickeners tend to absorb substances, both harmful and beneficial, this can interfere with the absorption of minerals and other components necessary for the body.

Phosphate intake can impair calcium absorption, which can lead to osteoporosis. Saccharin can cause bladder swelling, and aspartame may well compete with glutamate in terms of harmfulness. When heated, it turns into a powerful carcinogen, affects the content of chemicals in the brain, is dangerous for diabetics and has a number of harmful effects on the body.

Health and nutritional supplements

Over the long history of its existence, nutritional supplements have proven their usefulness. They have played a significant role in improving the taste, shelf life and quality of products, as well as in improving other characteristics. Of course, there are many additives that can not affect the body in the best way, but completely ignoring the benefits of such substances will also not be entirely correct.

For example, sodium nitrate, which is in great demand in the meat and sausage industry, known as E250, despite the fact that it is not so safe, prevents the development of such a dangerous disease as botulism.

Unfortunately, it is also impossible to completely deny the negative impact of food additives. Sometimes people, in an effort to extract the maximum benefit, create not something that is unhealthy, but absolutely inedible, from the point of view of common sense, products. As a result, humanity gets a lot of diseases.

• Study product labels and try to choose the ones that contain the minimum number of different E.
• Do not purchase unfamiliar products, especially if their composition is rich in all kinds of additives.
• Avoid products containing sugar substitutes, flavor enhancers, thickeners, preservatives, and colors.
• Choose natural, fresh produce.

Nutritional supplements and human health are concepts that are becoming increasingly associated today. In this direction, a lot of research is being carried out, as a result of which a lot of more and more new facts are revealed. Many modern scientists believe that an increase in dietary supplementation and a decrease in the consumption of fresh foods is one of the main reasons for the increase in the incidence of cancer, asthma, obesity, diabetes and depression.

Additives "E", harmful and safe

Unfortunately, progress does not always bring only positive things to people's lives. Sometimes, especially when innovations are introduced into the sphere of human nutrition, just a negative effect is observed. For example, the invention of various food additives that enhance taste, play the role of thickeners and colorants, flavorings and preservatives has become another test for the human body. The consequences of their use do not begin to affect immediately, and therefore a person is not always able to adequately respond to the causes of diseases.

Food additives include artificial and natural substances that are used to improve the properties of the product, its longer storage and transportation. Each supplement name contains the letter "E" and a number. The presence of additives must be noted on the product label - this is a prerequisite.

There are food additives that are poisonous and safe for humans. Prohibited all over the world: E121, E123, E216, E217, E240, E924a, E924b. These are harmful food additives "E". The rest of the supplements are considered safe, but some of them cause allergic reactions and negatively affect the gastrointestinal tract.

Tests on the action of food products that contain additives "E" are carried out in special laboratories. Only after finding out the effect of such additives on the human body is it allowed to sell products containing them.

The harm that some additives "E" bring, the table reflects in this way:

E 102 causes allergies;

E128 contribute to the development of oncology and congenital malformations;

E 216 and 217 cause severe poisoning;

E 250 promotes the development of hypoxia and oncology, causes vitamin deficiency and poisoning;

E 320 causes an increase in cholesterol;

E 400-499 can cause diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;

E510, E513 and E527 disrupt the work of the intestinal tract, cause loosening of the stool and liver disease;

E951 is the cause of mental disorders and a decrease in serotonin in the cerebral cortex.

When buying products, pay attention to what is written on the label.

Remember, there are fewer additives where the shelf life is shorter!

The most dangerous foods that contain "E" additives are:

Chewing gum, because they contain sweeteners that can cause the formation of caries;

- "liquid smoke";
- colored and carbonated drinks;
- cubes "Galina Blanca" and similar condiments containing monosodium glutamate, which, when used frequently, causes allergies, hearing loss, glaucoma;
- some chocolates from such manufacturers as: "Nestle", "Alpen Gold", "Nesquik", "Sladko", "My family", "Air".
- some dairy products with a long shelf life;
- some sausages.

Dear customers, be sure to study what is written on the packaging! You must remember that you have the right to return the product back to the store if you see hazardous food additives on the label at home. You can buy a product that contains many harmful additives without looking at the label. Some substances in them are able to accumulate and have a carcinogenic effect, causing various mutations in the body.

Therefore, the use of such substances will someday make itself felt. Eat organic foods from your own summer cottage or buy from other gardeners. Such food does not contain harmful substances that can negatively affect your body. Vegetables and fruits from the garden do not contain additives "E", but have beneficial properties. It is better to take dairy products from a neighbor who keeps a cow - you will not buy such milk in any store.

Be attentive to the products you consume, then you can not be afraid for your healthy future! Live happily and without E!

Preservatives, food additives, E ***

This information will help you in choosing the food you buy and will help maintain the health of your entire family - many even permitted chemicals, if permissible, are far from always useful and necessary in nutrition.

Remember - not everything that is sold should be eaten.

Food additives (there are several hundred known of them) are a simple and cheap way to give a product an attractive appearance and color, enhance its taste, and also extend its shelf life.

Previously, the names of these chemicals were written in full on product labels, but they took up so much space that in 1953, in Europe, it was decided to replace the full names of chemical food additives with one letter with numerical codes. The E index (from Europe) within the European Community denotes the presence in a food of any food additives identified according to the International Classification System (INS). According to this system, food additives are divided into groups according to the principle of action. The group is determined by the first digit indicated after the letter E. E100 - E182 Dyes. Enhances the color of the product.
E200 - E299 Preservatives (prolong the shelf life of the product). Chemically sterilizing additives. Protect against microbes, fungi, bacteriophages.
E300 - E399 Antioxidants (slow down oxidation, for example, from rancidity of fats and discoloration; in effect, they are similar to preservatives
E400 - E499 Stabilizers (keep the given consistency of the product). Thickeners - increase the viscosity.
E500 - E599 Emulsifiers (maintain a homogeneous mixture of immiscible products, such as water and oil). They are similar in action to stabilizers)
E600 - E699 Amplifiers of taste and smell
E700 - E899 reserved numbers
E900 - E999 Defoamers (prevent or reduce foaming). Anti-flaming agents and other substances

Safe E

Only a small amount of food additives can be called truly (and not officially) harmless, but even they are not recommended by doctors for children under 5 years of age.

E100 - curcumin (dye), can bezvreda in curry powder, sauces, ready meals with rice, preserves, candied fruits, fish pastes

E363 - succinic acid (acidifier), found in desserts, soups, broths, dry drinks

E504 - magnesium carbonate (baking powder), can bezvreda in cheese, chewing gum, edible salt

E957 - thaumatin (sweetener) can bezvreda in ice cream, dried fruits, sugar-free chewing gum

The most harmful E - additives

The most harmful are preservatives and antioxidants.

Preservatives. In an environment in which such a drug is present, life becomes impossible and bacteria die, which keeps the product from deterioration longer. A person consists of a huge number of very different cells and has a large mass (compared to a unicellular organism), therefore, unlike unicellular organisms, it does not die from the use of a preservative (in some cases, also because the hydrochloric acid contained in the stomach is partially destroys the preservative). So, the preservative E240 (formaldehyde) can be present in canned food (mushrooms, compotes, jams, juices, etc.)

Preservatives and stabilizers act like antibiotics.

There are many harmful additives among the dyes. In particular, E121 (citrus red dye) and E123 (amaranth dye) are prohibited. They are usually found in soda, candy, colored ice cream.

It has already been scientifically proven that all three supplements can promote the formation of malignant tumors.

Emulsifiers are more often represented by mineral substances, for example: E500 - soda (sodium bicarbonate); E507 - hydrochloric acid; E513 - SULFURIC ACID

In addition to those mentioned above, there are chemical compounds that are considered not hazardous and are approved for use all over the world. However, judge for yourself how appropriate it is to talk about their harmlessness. Some of the most common are:

* E250 - sodium nitrite
* E251 - sodium nitrate
* E252 - potassium nitrate

It is impossible to imagine sausages without these additives. During processing, the sausage mince loses its pale pink color, turning into a gray-brown mass. Then nitrates and nitrites are used, and from the window a boiled sausage of the color of steamed veal "looks" at us.

Nitro additives are found not only in sausages, but also in smoked fish, sprats, and canned herring. They are also added to hard cheeses to prevent swelling.

People suffering from liver diseases, intestines, dysbiosis, cholecystitis are advised to exclude foods containing these additives from the diet. In such people, part of the nitrates, entering the gastrointestinal tract, turns into more toxic nitrites, which in turn form rather strong carcinogens - nitrosamines.

E - sweeteners

Recently, various sugar substitutes have become increasingly popular, these additives are indicated by codes

E954 - Saccharin
E952 - Cyclamanic acid and cyclamates
E950 - Acesulfan potassium
E951 - Aspartame
E968 - Xylitol

These substances, to varying degrees, adversely affect the liver.

Avoid foods containing such additives for six months after suffering hepatitis. You also need to be careful about xylitol. It can cause dysbiosis.

E 924 a-b; E 926; E 951; E 952; E 954; E 957.

Rospotrebnadzor experts consider the following additives to be dangerous: E102, E110, E120, E124, E127, E129, E155, E180, E201, E220, E222, E223, E224, E228, E233, E242, E270, E400, E401, E402404, E403, , E405, E501, E502, E503, E620, E636 and E637. E123, E510, E513 and E527 are included in the list of very dangerous, but for unknown reasons they are still not prohibited. Additives E104, E122, E141, E150, E171, E173, E241 and E477 are called suspicious.

Sodium benzoate (E 211)

The sodium salt of benzoic acid performs a rather important function of a preservative - it prevents the fermentation of juices, prevents bacteria from multiplying. It is added to soda and chips, meat and ketchup. Long-term consumption of E 211 in food can lead to metabolic disorders and cause cancer.

Aspartame (E 951)

This sweetener and flavor enhancer replaces sugar in diabetic foods. Aspartame is added to gum, drinks, canned food, condiments, etc. But for several years in America, where it is used very widely, there has been a campaign to ban E 951. Products with the addition of aspartame can cause migraines, skin rashes and impairment of brain activity.

Monosodium glutamate (E 621)

A chemical called monosodium glutamate gives the dish the flavor and smell of meat (it is added to bouillon cubes to enhance the flavor). If you exceed the norm (pour a few bags into a cup of noodles), you can get poisoned. In America, hundreds of thousands of such poisonings occur a year.

conclusions

Some additives are harmful only in large amounts, but carcinogens tend to accumulate in the body. So, over time, it will make itself felt. Any modification of the products makes them potentially hazardous to health. The use of synthetic enhancers of taste and color is a deception of your own body.

Eat organic food - fresh raw vegetables, fruits and berries.

Not buying products with a long shelf life indicated on the label is a sign that there are a lot of preservatives.

And although only an excess of additives in the body can cause harm, it is necessary to know the list of the most dangerous to health. Harmful "E" ?. List of dangerous food additives E. Not all food additives on the list are harmful. Nowadays, rarely what products come to our table fresh or freshly prepared and without food additives, directly from the garden or from the stove. This page is devoted to harmful food It is not a secret for anyone that at present environmentally friendly food is very rare. Why are “food” additives, various preservatives, dyes dangerous? Why can you get better if you eat only such products? Foods are unhealthy

It often happens that our loved ones, who have tried a new advertised miracle - a dish, complain of upset stomach and intestines, headache and general ill health. And it's all the fault of stabilizers-emulsifiers E and other dangerous food additives for health.
In order to understand which stabilizers-emulsifiers E are hazardous to health, you need to consider what they are. For example, E emulsifiers are a specific type of food additive that takes care of creating emulsions from liquids that cannot mix. Stabilizers E is also a food supplement that is famous for its anti-microbial properties. Due to this, it is used for cooking dishes, ensuring their safety, long-term storage, invariability of food and taste properties. Frequent use is noted in the preparation of sausages, since color retention is important for them. These dietary supplements cause cancer, as well as interfere with food digestion and reduce resistance to infectious diseases. Why do we love the most unhealthy foods and why do we find it so difficult to refuse them?

Stabilizers-emulsifiers E are used both together and separately. For example, take a useful, in your opinion, yogurt, Miracle, Activia, Danone. Look closely at the composition and tell me if there are similar nutritional supplements that you just read about? This means that even such foods as low-calorie and healthy yoghurts contain a high proportion of toxic substances called stabilizers - emulsifiers E. Often, it is precisely those people who tend to be overweight and therefore try to eat healthy foods so as not to gain extra pounds. What do they choose: these are, first of all, oatmeal and cereal, muesli bars, fruit juices and cocktails, punches, jelly, yoghurts and kefirs, as well as waffles and chocolate with sorbitol. In order to debunk the myths about the benefits of the products provided, just turn the product over and read on the packaging in the composition, whether there are stabilizers-emulsifiers E. It will not be difficult to notice that there are letters given there, something like this: E-110, E-311 or the same E-330. We often look at it and do not think what kind of interesting "E" it is. Our view is fascinated by the presence of sugar, fat, calories. This becomes not so important if there is a component in the composition - a stabilizer-emulsifier E. In addition to these, there are also such emulsifiers that belong to the groups: dangerous, prohibited suspicious, dangerous for the skin, stomach, intestines and many others.

Why use emulsifiers if they are unhealthy? For example, for making mayonnaise. To avoid water droplets on the surface, emulsifiers-stabilizers E are used to mix liquids that under normal conditions are not able to mix. Thus, these nutritional supplements help to mix fats, lipids, with water and obtain a valuable and well-selling product. We do not know about this fact and we buy these food products in stores to prepare salads. Just think, how many emulsifiers and stabilizers E you will eat for the New Year? One Olivier bowl contains approximately 3 packs of mayonnaise. If one is capable of causing significant harm to the human body, then what will the 3 do to it?

It is noted that these products are used not only for domestic consumption, but also for external consumption, as well as for import and export to other countries. There are emulsifiers, which are divided into three groups: "ordinary" or simple, which form foam (give the product elasticity) and stabilizers formed by the foam, that is, such emulsifiers E, which prevent the foam from falling off, its stratification.

In a woman's cosmetic bag, one cannot fail to notice day cream, night cream, balms and various gels, both for the body and for the hair. If we talk about the distribution of products, then this is a significant plus of the use of emulsifiers-stabilizers E. But they are all dangerous to health. What can the foods that we consume every day lead to? These are problems with the stomach, intestines, kidneys and liver. The gallbladder with the liver will be the first to suffer. Headache and vomiting are possible when too many products are consumed and a so-called "overdose" occurs. Children love to eat chips, crackers, drink carbonated drinks, do not think about what it might threaten. Parents, in order to please their children, gladly and generously buy them these poisonous products. Of course, I want to please the child, to show concern. But, instead, it turns out that you have to go to the doctor for a visit and complain of acute pain. These supplements are hazardous to the health of both adults and children. No one is immune from accidents, and therefore it is important to be on the alert.

Now many people cook at home to protect themselves from harmful food. For example, yogurt made from fresh homemade milk can be much healthier than all the Miracles and Bio, which promise us rapid weight loss and immunity protection. As for sausages, butter, cheese, everything is the same here. Let the sausage be not so red and look less appetizing, but the taste of real homemade sausage cannot be compared to store sausage. Save your health.

Today, the modern food market is characterized by a very wide range of choices, both in assortment and in price categories. This development is determined, first of all, by the growth of consumer demand. But does the supply justify the demand, and is the freedom of choice really as absolute as it seems?

The choice of one type of food or another is determined today by several factors:

consumer lifestyle;

his solvency;

health status and associated food restrictions.

I would like to focus on the last point. Problems associated with human health these days are not always characterized by genetic inheritance or predisposition to one or another type of disease, as well as the influence of environmental factors on the body. Recently, an increasing impact on the state of the body and its performance is exerted by food products that are part of the daily diet, or, to be more precise, their composition, which, in turn, is replete with a list of all kinds of so-called food additives, the most common of which are ingredients with index E.

Is it safe to consume such foods?

E-standards

The letter "E" on the composition label of this or that food product denotes compliance with the European nutritional standard, and the digital index - the type of additive itself. Once, the names of these chemicals were indicated in the composition of the products in full, but due to the volume of the names, they were replaced by an alphanumeric code.

Today, not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in Europe, the use of E-additives in food production is prohibited. But only a few.

The European Commission enjoys the right to ban, and inspections on the ground, that is, on the territory of food enterprises and shops, are carried out by the so-called inspection of the food and veterinary service, and even then - not everywhere.

How does this system work?

E-supplements are tested on animals and humans in accredited European laboratories. Taking into account the absence of negative consequences and effects on the body, additives are included in the list of permitted ones. Otherwise, if the inspectors of the food and veterinary services find during the inspection of food products that contain prohibited E-components, seizure is carried out. The frequency of this kind of checks is once every six months. That is, in the intermediate six months, in the absence of data on the dangers of a particular additive based on research, people do not know what they eat.

The irony of this “nutritious scenario” doesn't end there. E-components are prohibited in the presence of a threat to life, for example, those that lead to death. A large mass of others remains in the shadows, either little studied or not characterized as "dangerous". That is, if preservatives are not globally recognized as lethal for food consumption, then they may be considered non-hazardous. And this is not the only example that raises doubts, to say the least.

Complete catalog of dangerous and questionable food additives (E-additives).

Recently, researchers have carefully studied a large number of food additives and the risks of diseases they cause.

Here are some examples of similar E-elements added to today's food products:

E102- tartrazine - a dye. It is allowed on the territory of our country, but prohibited on the territory of the European Union.

Effects on the body:
- food allergy.

Foods containing tartrazine: confectionery, sweets, ice cream, drinks.

E128- red dye Red 2G with a carcinogenic effect, used in the production of sausages with a grain and legume content of more than 6% and products from minced meat, and gives a pink color to the product. It is a genotoxic compound, that is, it has the ability to cause changes in genes. E128 is prohibited for use in Russia!

Effects on the body(long-term period of manifestation of the reaction after the moment of use):
- oncological diseases;
- fetal malformations;
- congenital pathologies.

Products containing red dye Red 2G: sausages and sausages (especially cheap ones).

Effects on the body:
- food poisoning.

Food products containing this type of preservative: sweets, filled chocolates, meats, jelly-coated pates, soups and broths.

E250- sodium nitrite - a dye, seasoning and preservative used for dry preservation of meat and stabilization of its red color. E250 is approved for use in Russia, but banned in the EU.

Effects on the body:
- increased excitability of the nervous system in children;
- oxygen starvation of the body (hypoxia);
- a decrease in the content of vitamins in the body;
- food poisoning with a possible fatal outcome;
- oncological diseases.

Foods containing sodium nitrite: bacon (especially fried), corned beef, sausages, ham, smoked meats and fish.

E320- antioxidant to slow down the oxidative process in fat and oil mixtures (allowed in Russia, but considered hazardous to health).

Effects on the body:
- an increase in the content of cholesterol in the body.

Foods containing the antioxidant E320: some foods with fat content; chewing gum.

E400-499- thickeners, stabilizers to increase the viscosity of the product (most of them are prohibited in the Russian Federation).

Effects on the body:
- diseases of the digestive tract.

Foods containing these types of E-supplements: yoghurt cultures and mayonnaise.

E510, E513 and E527(from the E500-599 group) - emulsifiers that create uniformity when combining immiscible products, for example, water and oil.

Effects on the body:
- diarrhea;
- failures in the liver.

E951- aspartame - a synthetic sweetener.

Effects on the body:
- depletion of serotonin reserves in the cerebral cortex;
- the development of manic depression, anxiety attacks, violence (with excessive use).

Products containing aspartame: chewing gum, carbonated drinks (especially imported).

Prohibited E-Supplements

At the moment, it is possible to give only an approximate list of E-supplements that are prohibited in the territory of the Russian Federation on the basis of decisions based on research by the Research Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences:

E121 - citrus red dye;
E123 - red amaranth dye;
E240 - formaldehyde preservative, classifying which can be attributed to the same group of substances as arsenic with hydrocyanic acid - deadly poisons;

Analysis of the food market

Analysis of the state of the modern food market for the content of food E-components that are dangerous to human health and life has shown that most of the offered assortment contains, to a greater or lesser extent, the above substances.

As an example, we can cite a certain list of brands on the modern food market, among which E-elements have been found that pose a danger to the life of an individual:

1. Among carbonated drinks:

- "Fruittime Duchess", as well as "Fiesta Duchess", derived from the Coca-Cola company (contain E951 aspartame);
- all other subsidiaries of the Coca-Cola manufacturer;
- "Lemonade" (Greatley);
- "Raspberry" (Salute-Cola);
- "Barberry" (Assorted);
- "Citro" (Salute-Cola), etc.

2. Among the chewing gums that are especially popular these days:

- "Dirol" (contains thickener E414, which provokes diseases of the gastrointestinal tract; antioxidant E330; preservative E296; dye E171; emulsifier (as indicated on the package) E322, which is an antioxidant, as well as E321 and glazing E903);
- "Orbit" (contains sorbitol E420, which belongs to the group of emulsifiers and stabilizers; maltitol E965 (antifoaming agent-anti-flaming, and how dangerous it is - for the consumer to judge); stabilizer E422; thickener E414; dye E171; sweetener aspartame E951, etc.).

Which of these chewing gum is less dangerous and whether it is worth consuming it at all is a private matter for everyone!

3. Some alcoholic energy drinks include:

- "ABSENTER ENERGY" (contains stabilizer E414; acidity regulator, also known as antioxidant E330; preservative E211);
- "JAGUAR" (contains preservative E211; dyes);

The majority of energy drinks that do not contain alcohol can be attributed to the same group, even if the letter code "E" does not appear in the composition, MirSovetov advises paying attention to the name of the components contained, otherwise how is the "energetic" effect on the body justified ?!

4. Among chips and croutons:

"Lays" in a small package (contains aspartame E951);
- "Pringles" (contains the emulsifier E471);
- crackers "Kirieshki" (contains flavor enhancer E621, E627, E631, E551, dye E100, etc.).

5. Among fermented milk products:

- "Activia" with the addition of something, be it fruits or cereals (as part of the thickener E1442);
- “Rastishka yoghurt with fruit puree” (the same thickener E1442; dyes, etc.) is a baby food product !!!
- "Danissimo" (thickener E1442, acidity regulators).

6. Among sausages:

Sausage "Kievskiy cervelat" sausage factory "Kanevskoy" (which contains stabilizers and preservative sodium nitrite E250);
- "Amateur" boiled by the same manufacturer (contains a preservative-color fixative, as well as sodium nitrite E250);

7. Among the brands of ice cream:

As an example, we can cite the products of "La Fam", where the dye E102, E133, stabilizers E407, E410, E412, E466, E471 are found. And this is what our children eat!

8. Among the well-known chocolate manufacturers:

- "Sweet" and "Alpen Gold" (contain E476, stabilizers);
