I appreciated this summary by Katie titled 12 Food Additives to Avoid. Read it. It will reinforce why you already try to eat more naturally, or it may encourage you to make even more of an effort to do so. I thought we were doing well, but I want to go check some more food labels right now!
For a more extensive explanation, check out msn health's article (also linked to at the bottom of Katie's post).
My advice? To keep your food budget under control while avoiding these icky substances, cook from scratch as much as possible.

Ack! This makes me want to go rummage through my cupboard right this moment! I knew about several of the food additives, but not all of them. It's especially scary now that parents are turning more to processed foods to accommodate busy schedules. Thanks for joining us this week for Thrifty Green Thursday!
Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? That will get you really paranoid about all the chemicals in your food!
I've always been a fan of reading labels, but sometimes it can be tough knowing what's okay and what's not. Thanks for that link! And thanks for the TGT tip!
