Ingredients - Dwight Eschliman

We've all read the ingredients label on the back of a tin, box or bag from the shop. But what do all those mysterious chemicals and additives actually do - and are they really safe to eat? Focusing on 75 of the most common (and controversial) food additives and 25 ordinary foods that contain them, acclaimed photographer Dwight Eschliman and science writer Steve Ettlinger demystify the problems of processed food. Together they reveal what each additive looks like, where it comes from, how and why it is used and whether you should be worried about it.
