Sue Dengate's bestseller Fed
Up opened the eyes of thousands of desperate parents to the adverse effects
of synthetic additives and natural chemicals in foods. Based on groundbreaking
research, Fed Up showed that learning difficulties, behavioural problems
and minor chronic illnesses in children and adults can all be the result of
intolerances to food chemicals. Now, in this comprehensive Failsafe
Cookbook, Sue has written and compiled hundreds of new and improved recipes
for all kinds of occasions, as well as detailed information about the science
of food intolerance and low chemical elimination diets.

'Are you affected by
food additives?'
What we eat has changed dramatically
over the last 30 years, and so have our children. Behaviour and learning
problems, asthma, depression, youth suicide and teenage violent crime are all
increasing. Many parents find that raising children is not the joyful
experience they were expecting, and I was one of them.
When my first baby was born, my life
revolved around trying to get an unsettled baby to sleep. Then she grew into
the terrible twos and never grew out. On good days she was charming, adorable
and clever, but on her frequent bad days she was demanding, dissatisfied,
grouchy, easily annoyed, argumentative, defiant, took hours to get to sleep and
woke frequently. We had expected her to do well at school but she struggled
with schoolwork.
For 11 years I did the rounds of
doctors, baby-health nurses, psychologists, teachers, school counsellors,
alternative practitioners, tutors, physiotherapists, dietitians and many more.
I was told I was a bad mother; to use better behaviour management; to pour
myself a stiff gin; to learn to live with it; that I needed medication; that
she needed medication. After years of sleep deprivation, my marriage was at
breaking point, and so was my sanity.
Of all the remedies we were offered,
most helped a little. We tried various diets, for six years avoiding additives,
sugar and dairy foods, but it wasn’t until she did a 24-hour water-only fast in
hospital at the age of 11 that I finally saw the daughter I’d always wanted.
Under our eyes she became settled, calm, polite, interesting, intelligent and
fun to be with. ‘That’s the child I want!’ I said. Our paediatrician finally
believed that her problems were food-related, and we started a three-week trial
of a low salicylate diet.
