The Dark Side of Food Ingredients

Do you really know what is in your food?

Sometimes it may be sweeteners that were discovered completely by accident in a pharmaceutical laboratory. Other times, it may be a petroleum product. In yet other cases, it may simply be fats or cooking oils disguised by another name.

In general, modern food products are made with a variety of chemicals meant to enhance a food's flavor, improve its appearance, or extend its shelf life.

If this is news to you, don't worry: the real and, sometimes, mysterious contents of various items on your supermarket shelves will be explored in these pages.

That is why these pages will provide real actionable advice for people just like you, people who are looking for healthier ways to cook, eat, and live.

This book will give you information about healthy alternatives to today's over-processed foods.
