BREAKING NEWS July 2009: Fed Up With Sleep Disturbances? Sue Dengate is trialling a free
on-line web seminar on Wednesday July 8 at A Canadian whistleblower says that if Australians want to eat as safely as
Europeans, they need to ban the five major contaminants of modern industrial
food production. Visiting microbiologist Dr Shiv Chopra, a fellow of the
World Health Organisation and former senior scientific adviser to Health
Canada said it was not the job of the public to prove additives are harmful:
"The onus should be on the government and big business to prove that
these substances are not harmful, because they're the ones who are making
money from them. Unless they can prove that these substances aren't harmful,
we should be telling our governments that we don't want them in our food
supply." http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,25197,25686749-23289,00.html
June 2009: SUCCESS! All 14 artificial colours to go. ALDI will become the first Australian
supermarket chain to remove six food colours proven to cause hyperactivity
and other disorders in children from its range of own-branded products. It is
also removing preservatives and a further eight food colourings it has
identified as undesirable. "We chose not to wait for it be legislated in
Australia as we believe the findings are enough to demonstrate this is the
right thing to do," said Aldi Stores managing director Michael
Kloeters. He said the colourings would
be replaced with natural alternatives or, some cases, "nothing at
all". http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/business/story/0,28124,25618332-36418,00.html

Hello everyone
Apologies for the delay in this newsletter: the
disastrous
Meanwhile food additives are in the news: see diet and
behaviour studies in the latest newsletter and our additive free netball team
trial soon on the SBS show Food Investigators. One failsafer wrote: “
Also in the latest newsletter, some fascinating reader
reports including diet and morning sickness, reactions to sorbates, depression
due to the Western diet and many more.
And finally, thank you to everyone who has written
with success stories. I especially liked this reader’s comment: ‘I think every
mother should be discharged from hospital with their baby under one arm and
your book under the other arm!’ - see the story below.
