Sue Dengate and family did a 15 country research trip during 2002.

Would be interested if anything has changed for the better since then?

Am not sure where you are all living? She found USA " a country in denial about

food additives - Chemical Capital of the world " . When I read through the

asprin/asthma/allergy articles in the Samters library I came to the same

conclusion, finding statements like " traditional practitioners do not thinks

food additives play a role " .It seems that food related allergies have never been

given much attention, although cross sensitivity to NSAID where known since 2000

or even before that (The Aspirin and Asthma article, 2000). With access to the

latest info via web and by belonging to Samters we will certainly find some ways

to support each other and improve our lives.

i'm lucky in that i live nyc and have access to many health food

stores as well as whole foods market. Whole foods is amazing! you can

even look at their website for lists of foods that are acceptable with

different diets (gluten free, for example.) you can also read their

company policy regarding preservatives, artifical colors, etc. it is

more expensive than " regular " grocery store food, but i really think

it is worth the extra money.

Trader Joe's is also a great store for any of you that have access to

those. There's some in several different states throughout the

country, you can go to traderjoes.com for store locations. It's not

quite as healthful as Whole Foods but they have many of their own

products that are made with organic products and many preservative

free products, etc. And on their web site, like Whole Foods, they

have a list of the different diets as well, such as gluten free, fat

free, no sugar added, kosher.

There's one pretty close to where I live, not within walking distance

but my husband drives by on his way home from work so he often stops

to pick up things. They have a lot of pre-made foods that are made

without preservatives. So if you're someone for whom time is a

factor in preparing meals (and who isn't) you can get preprepared

things that are healthier.

P.S. AND Trader Joe's is actually in general NOT more expensive than

other stores, at least in my limited viewpoint.
