Linda's Links

Winter 2003

In this issue I will be reviewing some interesting websites that I have
found, regarding "Food additives and Preservatives."

My first link can be found at:
http://www.chemsoc.org/exemplarchem/entries/2001/anderson/preservatives.htm
This page was written by Sarah Anderson, a chemistry student at the
university of Bristol UK. It gives a very detailed description of preservatives.

My second link can be found at:
http://www.degussa-health-nutrition.com/degussa/html/e/health/eng/kh/f6.htm
Food Additives USA: Food Additives Permitted for Direct Addition to Food for Human Consumption.

My third link can be found at:

Understanding Commercial Bird Food and Their Labels
The information listed above was taken from the book
"The Consumers Guide to Feeding Birds" by Liz Palika
Howell Book House, A Simon& Schuster/Macmillan Company. ISBN 0-87605-641-9

My fourth link can be found at:

This lists the PPM of some sulfite containing foods.

My last link can be found at:
http://nutrition.about.com/cs/preservatives/
This is at "About.Com"
If you can get past all the *pop-ups,* they have some very good links.

Well, that's all for now. I hope you found the links useful, and will join
me again, next issue, for more of "Linda's Links."
