Is natural safer than artificial?
Can we tell by looking at a label which additives are natural and which are man-made?
Aren't all additives chemicals?
Yes but everything in the world, including the human body, is made up of chemicals. The issue is whether additives are safe and whether they serve a useful purpose. All additives are stringently safety tested and are only used where they are needed to help keep food safe or improve its quality.
Why don't we just use natural ingredients?
