However we need to distinguish between good fat and [...]
Artificial Sweeteners The culprits - Aspartame, Acesulfame K, Saccharin, Sucralose and Neotame.

Antibiotics The culprits - Penicillin, Tetracycline, Erythromycin… Sound familiar? They should.

Thats Sunset Yellow. Red [...]

They are also found naturally in wine and many foods and have very little effect on a majority of the population. Only about 2% of the population has a sulphite sensitivity which may result in skin rashes, headaches, irritable bowel [...]
