Anti Allergy, Additive and Chemicals Recipes

There are many potentially harmful or toxic chemicals present in the food we eat, whether occurring naturally, as contaminants or as deliberate additives. But these chemical substances are not necessarily harmful in small amounts; the effects they have depend upon the quantities that we consume.

To determine safe levels of chemicals in food, it is necessary to review all the information on the types of harmful effect that the chemicals may have and then to decide on the amounts that we could consume without risk of suffering these damaging effects. This process is called risk assessment and is carried out by independent scientific advisory committees who are not motivated by any commercial or financial pressures. Members consist of specialists in several types of scientific and medical expertise.
