What's really in our food?!

This series deals with the question what kinds of chemical additives are used in our food and what risk to our health is carried by them.
Almost every peace of food is somehow treated, enriched and altered. This circumstance can easily be proven by checking the ingredients of the particular food product. We are often not aware of the fact that the main purpose of these processes are not to guarantee the consumer's well being but rather to make money. But this doesn't mean that there is no healthy food out there. Thus raising the awareness of the existence of additives and giving the necessary information to locate the ones which are harmful can be considered as the main goals of this series.
