Discussion topic:
Food additives are in many of the foods we eat. They get into foods either by direct (intentional) or indirect (incidental) routes. While consumers are likely to be aware of intentional food additives, associating them with enhanced color, flavor, and/or antioxidant properties, the potential for indirect food additives is often less clear.
Explain several possible benefits that food additives provide to consumers.
Explain several possible negative effects that food additives may have.
Do you think most consumers understand and/or are concerned about food additives? How can consumers make more informed choices about foods that contain food additives?
Research at least two different additives. Provide a brief review of each and discuss their benefits and potential negative effects (if any).
Consider why Americans may or may not choose foods with HFCS, including cost, effect on nutritional status, and what other nutrients may be provided in foods that typically contain HFCS.
