EveryMite has NO Additives;
Why?
We don’t want them in our body
or
our childrens bodies.
We don’t believe that they are good for you
We believe that they can cause harm.
Francine Bell from Additive Free Kids explains:
Why are kids more susceptible to additives?
Kids may be more susceptible to the effects of additives as they have a higher relative exposures as compared to adults (due to greater dietary intake per kg). Their detoxification systems are still developing and their key organ systems are still undergoing big changes and maturing.
Which additives impact our children’s health?
Artificial food colours, that are known to exacerbate attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder symptoms
Nitrates and nitrites, that are known to interfere with thyroid hormone production and may cause cancer causing N-nitroso compounds
Other impacts can include:
• Aggressive behaviour
• Asthma
• Behavioural problems
• Depression
• Gastrointestinal ailments
• Headaches
• Hyperactivity
• Learning difficulties
• Eczema
• Sleep disturbances
How are food additives regulated in Australia?
Food additives are regulated by Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ).
What is FSANZ’s stance on additives?
We know that some additives are harmful for children’s health, studies have backed this up.
The UK Food Standards Agency funded a study at the University of South Hampton to investigate whether artificial food additives could cause hyperactivity in children.
This trial found that colourings and preservatives significantly increased ADHD type behaviour in children. Researchers estimated, that if additives were banned, 6.6% of children in the UK aged 3 to 12 suffering from ADHD would be reduced by 30%.
As a result of this study, the UK FSA banned six artificial food colours – 102, 124, 110, 122, 104 and 129.
These food colourings are considered safe by Australia.
THIS IS SCARY
The European Union implemented labelling of these six colours stating
“may have an adverse effect on activity and attention in children”
