Great trial from Bronwyn and the Food Intolerance Network. Excellent results! And of course, not at all surprising. This is exactly what we experienced when our boys were young. Please share to help other families.

See what happens when a whole primary school goes additive-free for...

The first thing that comes to mind is WHY? 🤷‍♀️ Why does chilli oil even need ingredients like vegan chicken stock and MSG?

Loving the Nuffin dips. No nasty additives, no nasty plastics and Australian made and operated. They taste great too! 🎉

Sulphite sensitivity can be challenging to manage, especially when sulphites (and other additives) don't always need to be listed on labels (depending on the amount present in the product). It's great to see that medicine labels are being improved to make it easier to see if problematic ingredients are present in the product (this also includes herbal supplements, vitamins and minerals). Medicine/vitamin labels will start looking different over the next few years as manufacturers implement the updated labelling requirements.

This if one of my favourite ice-creams. It's a dairy ice-cream treat for me when I go to Hoyts Cinema at Chadstone - Ben & Jerry's Mint Chocolate Chunk. No nasty colours! Beautifully white with big chunks of dark chocolate, yum :)

Symptoms of ADHD can be managed to varying levels of success by avoiding nasty food additives. Whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, ADHD can be successfully treated with dietary changes. Many families have seen improvements in ADHD symptoms by eliminating food additives and, in some cases, other problem food chemicals. It's always great to see this recognised in the media. As more people are aware of this, more families can be helped.

ADHD is the most common mental health condition in children but diagnosis and treatment with drugs remain controversial.

Do you need additive-free dairy-free yoghurt options? I love the Nudie Dairy Free Coconut yoghurts (Natural is my favourite). I also love to make my own yoghurt using the Green Living Australia Non-Dairy Yoghurt Culture. You can make use it with soy, coconut or almond milks. It contains no additives and you can add your own ingredients to vary the flavours - honey, fruit puree, maple syrup, pure vanilla essence etc. Yum!!!
