Basic nutritional supplements. Food additives safe for health

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 assigning 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 products.

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

In Europe, the additive number is preceded by the letter "E", while in Australia and New Zealand additive numbers are indicated without a prefix. In our table of nutritional supplements, “E” is written everywhere, but when searching the page, it is better to enter only the number (this way you will definitely find the supplement you need).

Food additives banned in Russia E

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

As for the mechanism for banning / permitting food additives in Russia (the Customs Union of the EAEU), everything is quite simple here:
when making decisions on the permission / 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 laboratory of food toxicology of the well-known Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences does not directly participate in the procedure for assessing the hazard / safety of food additives.

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

"Masking" food additives harmful to health

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

Therefore, when shopping, it is highly desirable to have either a phone with you, or a phone with a camera, or at least a pencil and a piece of paper. Well, even better - a smartphone with Internet access, because then you can check the safety of any nutritional supplement on our website right in the store, "on the spot" so to speak ...

How dangerous are nutritional supplements?

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 carefully monitor the change in the list of nutritional supplements E, it becomes 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:
"The food additive 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 allowable daily intake, as well as the maximum content of the substance in a particular product. And in theory, this should protect a person from fatal intoxication. But this often does not happen!

After all, the average inhabitant of our planet during the day eats more than one or two "improved" products. The modern food industry is literally permeated with food additives (the number of allowed 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, every nutritional supplement poses an even greater threat to the least resilient and protected among us - children, the elderly and allergy sufferers. For them, all food additives E are a kind of "Pandora's box", from which poisoning, allergies, disorders and malfunctions of internal organs, oncology and even death can come out.

By and large, research into the potential harms of dietary 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 an E code! Well, if you can’t completely exclude 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 modern world there are practically no people left who would eat only completely natural food. 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 nutritional supplements (E-supplements). Every consumer should know that they can be in almost any product and take this fact into account.

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

In order to properly answer the question of how to treat the use of food products with nutritional supplements, it is necessary to recognize 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, processing various chemicals, in simple terms - this is harmful to your health. And at certain doses of use, it becomes already dangerous.

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

It is also impossible to believe blindly that the truth was written on the label. It is not uncommon for manufacturers to add additives "by eye" which can result in a product that is dangerously over-concentrated. And it happens that the manufacturer deliberately exceeds the norm in order to hide the shortcomings of the product (staleness, poor quality of raw materials).

Unfortunately, the exact composition can only be found in specialized modern laboratories. The task of the buyer is to collect available information about the product and draw the right conclusion. The more experience and knowledge in determining the quality of a food product, the more likely it is to buy a benign product.

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

Learn to live with nutritional supplements

You don't have to fanatically avoid all foods with additives, just as you don't have to be a chip and Coke eater. To minimize the harmful effects of chemicals on your health, take the following helpful tips:

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

Do not use chemicals 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 chemicals in a certain limited amount. When the norm of the use of chemicals is exceeded, human health can be undermined and fail.

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

Avoid subjecting food stuffed with chemicals to heat or other forms of processing, which may result in the formation of hazardous substances. If you still need to heat (frying, for example), then first study the composition of the product and the possible reaction of their ingredients. The 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 about nutritional supplements - a weapon in the hands of the buyer

Each supplement has its own acceptable daily intake (ADI), which must be taken into account 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 DSD figures will not bring any benefit to the average consumer.

Good to know: the list of all ingredients of the product (including food additives) indicated on the package is compiled in descending order of their number. In other words, the product has the most ingredient listed first and the least ingredient listed last.

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

Pay special attention to the additives that are highlighted in red in the table - they are very dangerous and forbidden. If you find any in the composition of food products, immediately refuse to buy. Avoid products with hazardous additives marked in yellow. The average level of danger should alert the buyer to insecurity. Do not experiment with "suspicious" and unapproved additives. Pay special attention to additives that are highlighted in red - they very dangerous and forbidden. If you find any in the composition of food products, immediately refuse to buy. Avoid foods with hazardous additives marked in yellow. The average level of danger should alert the buyer to insecurity. "Suspicious" and unapproved supplements should also not be experimented with.

Remember that the negative impact of a substance on human health takes place if it is not used in moderation. There are no absolutely safe and dangerous food additives. For example, salt and sugar are considered safe additives, but when used in excess, 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 nutritional supplements can be designated differently on the product label: by coding, by the full or partial name of the substance, or 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 search for a nutritional supplement in the table, use the keyboard shortcut "CTRL+F". Just dial the number or name. The table is constantly updated with new data.

Food additives and their effect on the body

Unlike our ancestors who visited the village market every day to buy fresh food for dinner, we make it easier for ourselves by buying food that is stored in the refrigerator for several weeks, and sometimes months. We don't want to settle for products that look less vibrant and less tasty, so we process them with flavors, preservatives, and colors.

Today, there are hundreds of nutritional supplements. Along with enhancing flavor, they make food easier to use and extend its shelf life. (Can you imagine a bottle tomato sauce with an expiration date of only three days?) Sometimes supplements contain additional nutrients such as vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and fiber.

The presence of additives does not automatically mean that the food is unhealthy (excess fat, salt and sugar also make food unhealthy). However, this is usually an indication that the food has been processed to make it cheaper to produce. Health food experts are advising consumers to read labels and choose products with a list of simple ingredients and fewer artificial additives. In other words, the product should be as close to homemade or natural food as possible.
Did you know that of all the ingredients added to processed foods, sodium chloride (table salt) is considered the most harmful to most people.

But is the food advertised as "natural" actually true? The presence of this word on the packaging helps us feel that we are eating right, but such products are not automatically healthier or cleaner. Candies may contain natural colors such as fruit juices and concentrates, and large amounts of sugar, which is also "natural" but not healthy at all. But psychologically, the word "natural" on the package kind of gives parents permission to give their children these particular sweets. Similarly, the phrase "no artificial additives" does not mean that the food does not contain a lot of fat, salt or sugar, because all these ingredients are also natural. Therefore, such statements by manufacturers should not be considered as a guarantee of the health benefits of the product.

As long as we continue to live in a rapidly changing world, it will be more convenient for us to shop once a week and get food that stays fresh for more than a few days. And we continue to prioritize food that doesn't spoil for a long time and choose quick and easy meals that require minimal time and effort to prepare.

While experts advise striving to eat healthier foods, it's important to remember that all nutritional supplements go through a rigorous government approval process. For most people, taking supplements is not a problem unless they have a sensitivity to them.

Where is the harm?

1. Dyes.

Red, yellow and blue dyes can cause a reaction, especially in children. First of all, these are annatto (160b), tartrazine (102), sunset yellow (110), amaranth (123) and brilliant blue (133).

2. Sulfites.

Common in dried fruit and wine. Many preservatives cause a reaction in sensitive people, but sulfites do this especially often.

A 2005 study showed that some people, especially children between the ages of two and five, actually consume more than the recommended daily allowance sulfites (numbers 210-213). What are possible reasons this? These preservatives, used to process dried fruit, can also be found in muesli and other breakfast cereals and snack foods, many of which are marketed as healthy foods. Therefore, even if you and your children follow a healthy diet, you are still not immune from side effects sulfite abuse.
Sulfites are not a new additive. They have been used for centuries in the manufacture of, for example, wine. Today, you can get a serving of these preservatives not only with a glass of alcohol drunk at night, but also with snacks consumed during the day.

3. Flavor enhancers.

They are added to salty snacks and sauces. The best known is monosodium glutamate (MSG). The most harmful to health are glutamates with numbers 621-635 (monosodium glutamate itself is indicated by the number 621).
Glutamates occur naturally in many foods, being the building block of proteins and enhancing the flavor of food. That is why foods high in them, such as tomatoes, mushrooms and cheese, are used as the base of many dishes. Snacks, dressings and various sauces most often contain flavor enhancers.
The number of products with flavor enhancers has increased significantly over the past decade. Yes, and we began to eat them much more often, especially as part of fast food.

Symptoms of intolerance:

Food coloring - the most common behavioral problems in children and headaches or of course indigestion in adults.
- sulfites and flavor enhancers - asthma symptoms, headaches, shortness of breath, as well as intestinal upset.
- other additives - the range of possible reactions is very diverse: recurrent urticaria, edema, sinusitis, mouth ulcers, nausea, unusual fatigue for no apparent reason.

Good news

In most cases, the presence or absence of a reaction to a supplement is determined solely by the doses you use it. If you can't completely avoid a particular supplement, just cut back. Be careful not to eliminate entire food groups from your diet, or you risk causing key nutrient deficiencies.
If you are concerned about your possible sensitivity, use an elimination diet under the supervision of a nutritionist. It consists in eliminating all potentially problematic foods for a certain period of time, and then gradually introducing them into the diet. This method helps to identify which supplements you are reacting to.

Answers to common questions

Q: Are all additives harmful?

No, in fact, some may even be useful. Vitamins and minerals are added to some foods. Vitamin D, essential for bone, muscle and brain health, is added to some dairy products.

Folic acid is included in the composition of cereals. It is essential for metabolism, but is especially important for pregnant women because of its ability to protect the fetus from neural tube defects.

Vitamins E and C, which are powerful antioxidants, not only help support your immune system, but also keep foods fresh. These vitamins are added to margarines, sauces, juices, breads and cereals.

Q: How toxic is monosodium glutamate?

Monosodium glutamate (or glutamate) (621) has a bad reputation for often causing reactions such as irritable bowel syndrome and migraines. In fact, glutamates are one of the most widely used groups of flavor enhancers, added to many packaged foods such as soups, flavored noodles, Asian sauces, and snacks.

For most people, MSG and other glutamates are harmless. However, some may still run into problems, so if you are sensitive to these substances, check the labels for flavor enhancers with numbers 621-635 and try to reduce their consumption as much as possible.

Q: Do diet soft drinks cause cancer?

No. It has been experimentally proven that saccharin and aspartame do not cause cancer. However, a small number of people with the rare condition phenylketonuria simply cannot digest aspartame. Nowadays, many carbonated and light drinks are supplemented with natural flavors derived from the stevia plant.

Q: Do dyes cause hyperactivity?

In fact, children consume less than five percent of the allowable daily intake of dyes with food and drink (even those who abuse products containing them). In rare cases, however, people have individual sensitivities to some of them. Thus, in some children, nighttime wakefulness has been associated with the use of tartrazine (102).

Additives banned abroad

Sometimes we see that a certain additive used in our country is banned abroad. This is often misleading and alarming. In fact, there may be several reasons. In some cases, manufacturers in other countries never use an additive simply because they have alternatives that they prefer. Sometimes supplements are not approved due to unique conditions in a particular country. And some ingredients were banned many years ago, and since then scientists have long proven their safety. Pre-2009 approved or banned additives are currently being re-evaluated.

Four ways to cut down on supplements

1. Stay away from packaged foods with long ingredient lists and lots of chemical names or codes. These are soft drinks, chips, cornflakes, flavored noodles, soup mixes, simmered sauces, salad dressings, lined food, colored candy and marmalade, muesli, biscuits, biscuits, pastry mixes, puddings and instant desserts.

2. Cook your own using herbs, fresh vegetables, meat, fish, a small amount of butter, flour, or low-fat yogurt. Make your own pasta and salad dressings, sauces and marinades.

3. Be interested in the composition of products. Read the list of ingredients on the back of the package. Familiarize yourself with codes that are potentially dangerous for you. You can even keep a list of them in your wallet so you can have it with you whenever you're at the supermarket.

4. Give preference to "classics". Compare two products and buy the one with the shortest ingredient list and, of course, the fewest additives. As a rule, this simple, neutral version is called "original" or "classic".

Here is a list of the additives that most commonly cause reactions in sensitive people.

1. Dyes:

Artificial: 102, 107, 110, 129, 122, 132, 133, 142, 151, 155;
- natural: 160b (annatto).

2. Flavor enhancers:

Glutamates: 621-635 (in soups, pasta, sauces, Asian sauces, curry pastes and snacks).

3. Preservatives:

Sorbents: 200-203 (in juices, processed cheeses and sauces);
- benzoates: 210-218 (in liqueurs, fruit drinks and sauces);
- sulfites: 220-228 (in wine, pickled onions and dried fruits);
- nitrates, nitrites: 249-252 (in dried meat, bacon, ham and salami);
- propionates: 280-283 (in confectionery, bread and biscuits);
- antioxidants: 310-312, 319-321 (in spreads, sauces, mayonnaise and salad dressings).

Nutritional supplements have long entered our lives - then it needs to be sweetened, or maybe diluted with sourness. Then add pepper and adjika for spiciness. That annoy someone. The chemical industry has adopted our expectations - it can give insipid food any taste, artificially keep food fresh. Is it just us from this benefit or harm? Let's figure it out.

What is food additives?

It is a misconception that food additives are chemical synthesis, products based on genetically modified proteins. Salt, sugar, spices are the most harmless additional components to food, which make the products “tasty”. People who gave up salt and realized that the taste of natural products became more pleasant. After a couple of months, tea and coffee without sugar reveal to the taster the original bouquet of aromas that was previously killed by the food additive, which received the nickname “white death”.

"Innocent" sugar, salt, pepper brought to life a galaxy of chemicals, without which food workers cannot imagine their work. Thus, numerous supplements were “born”:

• dyes;
• flavor enhancers;
• stabilizers;
• preservatives;
• emulsifiers;
• sweeteners.

The use of food additives in Russia is regulated by sanitary rules and international standards.

Video: The most harmful and safe food additives

Danger with the letter "E"

Food additives are denoted by the letter "E" with dozens of indices. They give the products taste, texture, color.

It is useful to know that "E" is the short name for Europe. Three-digit indexes "hide" various chemical substances. The first digit indicates which group of additives the chemical equivalent belongs to. Code 1 in the index does not mean the degree of danger. This is the dye indicator. Further (2) - preservatives. Three indicates antioxidants. Four is a stabilizer. The emulsifiers responsible for the consistency of the product go under the number 5. The six is ​​responsible for the taste. Sugar substitutes, wax, anti-foam additives are indicated by nine.

Intimidated by the media, people read product labels. Seeing the indexing "E" instantly return the goods to the shelf. Be aware that not all E's are dangerous. In the line of additives - useful, harmful and dangerous components.

The notorious monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer that “deceives” food receptors, is found in natural products. To him we owe the taste of meat, fish, cheese, mushrooms and some vegetables. Chemists studied the natural composition of these products and synthesized an artificial flavor enhancer. A magical additive makes edible sausages, dry broths, chips, instant mashed potatoes, instant dishes. Researchers have proven that monosodium glutamate in its pure form is harmless: it does not lead to diseases. The cause of diseases is in the composition of "pseudo": meat, broth, crab sticks. Therefore, these products, instant food, should be avoided, and not be afraid of the “E” marking with indices 621, 627, 631. This is an encoding of synthetic glutamate, identical in composition to natural. Nutritionists have classified glutamate as a harmless supplement.

• sugar dyes - E-150 (a, c, d);
• malic (E-296), acetic (E-260), lactic (E-270), citric (E-330) acid;
• baking soda (E-500);
• chlorophyll (E-140);
• coal (E-152);
• agar-agar (E-406);
• wax (E-901, 902, 903);
• plant pigments (E-163) anthocyanins;
• vitamin E synthetic (E-307).

Out of a thousand additives, experts classified 36 synthetic food additives from the “E” classifier as safe.

Harmful and "very dangerous"

A common misconception is that E-substances cause cancer, damage the immune system, and provoke allergies. Everything is individual. The body of a particular person reacts selectively to synthetic additives. But the amount of "chemistry" in the daily intake will lead to a health disorder.

Exploring 9 Dangerous Food Additives. The harm is scientifically proven, but the food industry does not remove these substances from production. Remember the "enemies" of health and do not buy products with this label.

1. Experts attributed the dye synthesized from coal tar to harmful food additives E. This is amaranth E-123. Previously, it was used in the confectionery industry, cosmetology. Experts have proven the carcinogenicity of the chemical dye..
2. E-124 crimson food coloring is present in sausage, muffins, ice cream, seafood. Strawberry, cherry, grape compotes, juices are stained with a purple substance. Causes cancer.
3. E-102: poisonous dye tartrazine adversely affects the body. Proven experimentally. Russian food workers continue to use the dye for confectionery purposes: ice cream, jelly, sweets. It is present in yellow carbonated drinks.
4. E-171 titanium dioxide restores product color lost in industrial processing. Contained in crab sticks, breakfast cereals and powdered milk. Affects the digestive organs.
5. Next in terms of danger are emulsifiers. Ammonium chloride, also known as ammonia E-510, is dangerous to health - chlorine vapor calls for respiratory arrest.
6. E-527 is a relative of the previous additive: ammonium hydroxide. Dangerous for the liver and digestive organs. In Russia, they are added to cocoa, chocolate, and instant products.
7. Sulfuric acid E-513 is dangerous for the body - a severe effect on the respiratory system. Makes a person aggressive. In Russia and Ukraine it is allowed for use in the food industry.
8. E - 1442: a preservative with an unpronounceable name belongs to the group of modified starches. Add to yogurt, fast food, ketchup, ice cream. "Hits" the pancreas.
9. Sodium Benzonate E-211: A carcinogenic preservative that keeps the product for a myriad of times. Used in the production of margarine, mayonnaise, canned food, sweet soda. Experts are sure: in combination with other chemical additives, it makes children mentally retarded.

Hyperactive kids are stuffed with "E"

Food danger in the form of chemical additives lies in wait, first of all, for children. The most harmful food additives - E-dyes - are used in baby food:

• sweets;
• carbonated drinks;
• juices;
• dry breakfasts;
• glazed curds;
• yogurt;
• cookie.

Doctors "suspected" these dyes in the hyperactivity of children, answering the question of grandparents why grandchildren are associated with uncontrollable elements. Babies haunt their parents. The preschoolers go into hysterics. Schoolchildren are restless, they do not know how to concentrate, they get “bad luck”.

A scandal erupted over the use of five synthetic dyes. The involvement of nutritional supplements in the inappropriate behavior of children and adolescents has been found out. The pharmaceutical industry responded to the consequences of "color chemistry" - created medications for the treatment of childhood hyperactivity syndrome. Prohibition Russian authorities on the use of dyes in baby food is still not.

The list of the most harmful food additives can be supplemented indefinitely. Food workers have learned to introduce the entire periodic table into products, "planting" the population on harmful, but beneficial products. Not all additives are listed on food labels, so it's hard to blame a particular "E-product" for causing harm to health.

Learn to choose your food wisely, and not just painstakingly study the "E-list" on the packaging.

A few tips:

1. Don't be fooled by the bright color of sweets, pink ham and amber canned fruits in glass jar. Guarantee that dangerous dyes are "inherited" there.
2. Feed your kids organic food. If desired, cook some types of sweets and “cockerels on a stick” with your child yourself.
3. Replace sweet soda with freshly squeezed juices, homemade compotes.
4. Prevent food addiction in children.

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 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 prevent them from being eaten.

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 throughout the world as preservatives and stabilizers, flavor and aroma enhancers, thickeners and leavening agents. All this is necessary to improve the nutritional properties of the product, as well as increase its shelf life.

Why is a table of harmful food additives needed, 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 lives are 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 manufacturers, almost all additives are artificial, and therefore potentially dangerous. These are synthetic chemicals. 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. They often get around with general phrases like "does not contain artificial colors and flavors." 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 can guarantee that it does not contain prohibited products. Perhaps this will allow you to look at the goods in supermarkets in a different way, because, despite the attractive appearance, almost all of them contain preservatives.

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

Below we will consider 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. All preservatives start at 2, the number 3 stands for antioxidants - they are used to slow down or prevent spoilage of the product. All 4 are stabilizers, substances that help maintain the consistency of the product in the required form. The number 5 stands for emulsifiers, they work in tandem with stabilizers and preserve the structure of the product. The flavor and aroma enhancers that create the notes and shades we love so much start at 6. Some products contain special substances that prevent foaming, they are marked with the number 9. If you have a four-digit index, then 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 nutritional supplements "E"

This label can hide quite harmless and even useful substances, for example, plant extracts. This is the well-known acetic acid (E260). Relatively safe additives E can be considered baking soda (E500), or ordinary chalk (E170) and many others.

However, there are many more harmful substances than useful ones. You are mistaken if you think that only artificial additives are included in their number, natural ones also sin negative impact on the body. Moreover, the more often they are used, the stronger and more pronounced their impact will be.

Useful Supplements

You should not immediately return the product to the shelf just because it contains E. You need to look and analyze what substance is hidden behind it. The following table of harmful and beneficial 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 health supplements are curcumins, or E100 - these substances help control weight and are actively used in the manufacture of fitness products. E101 is the usual one, which is famous for the fact that it synthesizes hemoglobin and is involved in metabolism. E160d - it helps to strengthen the immune system. E270 is a powerful antioxidant that is widely used in pharmacology. To enrich products with iodine, the additive E916, that is, calcium iodate, is used. We must not forget about E322 lecithin - this supplement supports the immune system and improves blood formation.
