Hi thereVanilla said:Find this annoying myself as I have been on the lookout for dried apricots without sulpher for Vanilla Junior Senior to no avail. If you find any in the area, please let me know Ajapale.
And many (most?) wines, at least of those commonly sold in Ireland.Petal said:A lot of other foods contain sulphites, too.
Well if you feel that good about it then I suggest that you add it to all your food. I intend to give it a miss because I respect my body and I do not want to get cancer.ClubMan said:But we obviously don't. And my understanding is that SO2 is not necessarily hamful to most people (other than some asthmatics and/or others with intolerances to it).
I make a point of not including additives in my diet. There are lots of things that have not been proven to give you any disease but then they said that about DDT in the fifties and sixtes. Just one example of many.ClubMan said:No complaints after years of eating dried fruit containing SO2 as a preservative. Can you point me to any independent objective evidence of SO2 preservative as a primary cause of cancer in humans by any chance?
What precisely do you mean by "additives"? Are you saying that you never consume any foods with any, for example, colouring/preservative/falvouring additives? Are you saying that you avoid even additives that are regulated by the relevant Irish and EU authorities in terms of safety and limits and which represent no risk to health? Do you grow all of your own food so that you can be sure that there are no unwanted additives?woods said:I make a point of not including additives in my diet.
I don't think that DDT was ever used as a food additive but maybe I'm wrong. Anyway, getting back to SO2 I take it that you cannot point to any evidence that it causes cancer or that it represents a health risk to anybody other than some athmatics and others with an allergy/reaction to it?There are lots of things that have not been proven to give you any disease but then they said that about DDT in the fifties and sixtes.

You are correct in your assumption. I do not take any additives because I do not eat any processed foods. I try to buy as much of my fruit and veg organic (what I do not grow myself) and anything that I have to buy non organic (does not happen very often) I use Vegewash on to remove as much of the pesticides as possible. I do not use toiletries or cosmetics other than a shower wash that I get in the health food store and a crystal deoderant.ClubMan said:What precisely do you mean by "additives"?
