Is preservative 223 safe?
Preservative 223 Preservative 223 or sodium metabisulphite (a bit of a mouthful we know) is often found in dried fruit, frozen vegetables, fruit juices and alcoholic beverages. Even though it’s in the everyday foods we consume it has a multitude of harmful effects – think respiratory irritation, headaches and nausea.
Is glucose-fructose syrup better than sugar?
The difference is very small and not particularly relevant from a health perspective. Of course, if you compared regular table sugar and HFCS 90, which has 90% fructose, regular sugar would be far more desirable, as excessive consumption of fructose can be very harmful.
Citric acid 330 is black mould: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6097542/
Colour 120 is bugs, how pretty, though.
Carmine (/ˈkɑːrmən, ˈkɑːrmaɪn/) – also called cochineal (when it is extracted from the cochineal insect), cochineal extract, crimson lake, or carmine lake – is a pigment of a bright-red color obtained from the aluminium complex derived from carminic acid.[1] Specific code names for the pigment include natural red 4, C.I. 75470, or E120. Carmine is also a general term for a particularly deep-red color.
You want me to keep going? Best people start doing their research on the ingredients they shove into their mouths. It’s babylonian food that is killing us by the millions.
Mould, bugs have chitins in them, which the human digestive system does not dissolve. This is not food for us.
Convid woke us all up to many of things. I repent ever eating one of these toxic concoctions!

Who remembers helping their mum or their grandma with the making of cakes as a child in the 60’s and 70’s?
They used cochineal as a food colorant all the time, for making pink icing, homemade coconut ice, pink cakes and other desserts.
Gluten is another poison that causes many illnesses. You don’t have to be coeliac to be gluten intolerant. Most people are intolerant and don’t even know. Cut out or cut down out of your diet and you will notice the difference. Its not that hard to go gluten or almost gluten free.
As for cherry ripe and tim tams… they are always on sale as well as the other junk sugar foods, but fruit and veg keep going up…that should tell you something.
They have been poisoning us for decades. Read your labels, do your homework.
I loved the Cherry Ripe but stopped eating them when I noticed they used to make my heart race. I’m not sure what ingredient exactly, but it was enough to put me off.
Most packaged foods contain the emulsifier ‘soya lecithin’. That means it’s likely genetically modified soya.
Genetically modified foods are known to have caused tumours in animal studies.
Try and buy some packaged food that doesn’t have soya lecithin in it.
That’s one way to go cold turkey.
If you want food to be your medicine, it wont come in a packet.
Ive been a food label reader most of my life – I pretty much wont buy anything without reading the label. Safe way to shop for clean food.
I follow a very simple rule – if there are more than 3-4 numbers in the ingredients list I surely do not buy it… Besides the original sugar-researcher was John Yudkin who wrote the: “Pure white and deadly”…. in 1972-86 – I find the rest just copied him…
They are trying to export this shit everywhere as traditional Aussie tucker, well “Australia’s Favorite Cookie” was invented in Belgium and named after a horse in Kentucky and is foisted onto chocolate addicts via half price sales and multiple flavours, personally I detest them, I think the filling is toxic, I bet the Belgian ones are better

Cochineal has been around for decades.Always knew it was made from insects and it didn’t worry me….pink colouring for cakes and icing.
A very handy little book is ” The Chemical Maze” by Bill Statham.
First published in 2002,I was horrified when I first read it…you would stop eating altogether if you could.
However ,I have come to the conclusion that anything in moderation is ok.We have to eat, just be careful of WHAT you eat and HOW MUCH!
There is no storyline in it, it is just a book of tables telling you what is in each item of food
It tells the food name, its number related to the food,
function, code, possible health effects, food uses and other uses.u
e.g.ASPARTAME…artificial sweetener, code is two scowling faces, health effects are cancer, asthma, MS like symptoms, headache, hyperactivity, migraine, anxiety, memory loss, depression, memory loss, impotence, impatience, epilepsy, blindness, diabetes,neuralgia, plus at least 80 others.
Aspartame is found in DIET DRINKS, LOW JOULE FOODS, CHEWING GUM ,CONFECTIONARY ,BREWED DRY SOFT DRINKS, PLUS ANYTHING THAT IS SAID TO BE SUGAR FREE…OVER 5,000 ITEMS.
It seems most artificial sweeteners are similar to this.
This is one item I have refused to eat or drink since reading this,because using it every day could be damaging to your health over a long period.
I have used dextrose instead….sugar with the fructose taken out and bought at any shop selling beer making ingredients.
In 2002 the book cost about $9.You can get it Kindle…..E bay might have it.
The only bug I will eat is if my cockroach wins first place in the Karratha Cockroach Cup. The 29th annual KCC will be run this June 2024. Let’s hop Albo wins the cup. But to get the money, you do have to eat the bug.

Everything in that product is unhealthy for the human body. Mother Nature gave us healthy sweets that are good for the body called fruit. My favourites are Medjool Dates, they taste better than any confectionery or bars or biscuits I’ve tasted. Not that I’ve eaten those sort of things for many years thank goodness.
One ingredient is VEGETABLE FAT. What they should say is Trans-fatty acid made from seed oil.
Fructose is very harmful. Should anyone want to know the real deal on sugar and fructose, David Gillespie’s Sweet Poison is th ebook to go to, as he has researched the stuffing out of that subject: https://davidgillespie.org/home/books/
If you want sugar, dextrose, the sugar used to make beer is the go, as it is pure glucose, ans so not too harmful at all.
Sweet Poison will fully inform you of the perils of sugar.
