Not all food additives are harmful; some have nutritional value
Thread Content
Some food additives can improve flavor and texture as well as enhance the stability of products, so there’s no need to be afraid of them just because they are called ‘additives’. As long as food additives are used reasonably, they are harmless to the human body.
This is certain; the most obvious example is infant formula. Apart from the milk powder itself, everything else added to it can basically be considered an additive, but these additives are all nutrients.
