Food Colouring Contamination

Food colourings have long been looked upon by those in the natural health fields as the enemy of good wellbeing, particularly that of young children. A recent story on Today Tonight on channel 7 has highlighted the threat these are to the health and wellbeing of us all. The full story can be read here http://au.todaytonight.yahoo.com/article/7607377/none/colour-contamination I applaude this news coverage and it is high time these things were bought to the public’s attention.

The most alarming aspect of this report to me is the lack of action taken once again by the Australian Food standards authorities in implementating a total ban of these products and ingredients due to so called inconclusive research! Strangely enough our European allies have found it research enough to proect their citizens! I applaud ALDI’s stane on removing from their shelves anything containing the colourings quoted in the article and their committment to furthing this action.

Our authorities are pathetic! Wake up, catch up and start getting this poison off our shelves. I personally have seen many clients who suffer from sensitivities to such ingredients and far more as well such as flavourings and sweetners which are still covertly added to many foods. The real story here is how useless and slow our authorities are at getting vital information out to the public and taking action to remove threats. makes you wonder why??

Read all labels folks, stay away from artifical sweetners, flavourings and colourings and you will be a country mile in front with your wellbeing. Do read the article and also further on aspartame here http://www.naturalnews.com/aspartame.html learn all you can about what this stuff does to you and your family and avoid it.

Until next time.
