Food additives E-numbers, are they all bad? - Or are any E-numbers good for you?


For example "E476" has no known harm effects and is simply derived from castor oil. Surely some E-numbers could be good? Or not?

Presuming all chemicals are bad, I would answer yes to your question

However, as even vitamins have E-numbers, one could find that due to E-numbers having a bad press, the beneficial E-numbers like vitamins are named rather than putting the E-number code to describe it. Report It

don't think any are good some may not harm you but as far as i know none do you good

e-numbers are not god for you, they are a type of additive n yes some additives are good for you but this type is not there are loads of different types of e-numbers and they are all not god for you

e numbers are given to un-natural substances or chemicals, because there is no name for them. Hence, how can they actually be any good for you, or better than a natural substance. Some may do no harm, but no good either.

the E in e numbers actually stands for european and came around when the EU said that all addatives in food had to have an official E-number.

this means that all E-numbers are bad, even vitamins have E-numbers, you will usually find though that due to E-numbers having a bad press the beneficial E-numbers like vitamins are named rather than putting the code in
