Controversies in Additive
sweeteners
- a study by Italy's Independent Ramazzini Foundation revealed that aspartame is linked to several types of cancer in rats at doses close to current ADI
- EFSA reconfirmed that aspartame is safe, reviewed the study and decided that the current ADI was acceptable
flavourings
- MSG can be safe at normal levels but is linked with headaches, fatigue, depression
- they improve nutritional intake because stimulated tastebuds trigger important digestive and metabolic functions
- the addition of MSG makes it taste better and it tends to be added to high calorie foods resulting in obesity
