Ingredients To Avoid In Processed Food

Happened upon a whole slew of resource looking for the one from "Food Babe" which I eventually found. Be forewarned she is fully into organic and non-GMO. It is a lot of work getting to that point, and not everyone is going to want to. That does not detract from the usefulness of the food additive list.

She started sharing her research in 2011 which I noticed became of her postings about the health problems fields of GMO testing being done in Hawaii was creating for nearby residents (one of them was up near the Wahiwa high school, actually, teachers and students became seriously ill because of the pesticides in the GMO test fields nearby).
Since that time she has had at least two children, and written a book or two, and has gained some notoriety for her expertise, thus has been interviewed in more recent years. She has also become much healthier looking and beautiful, having started out pretty. So following her own advice shows up well.<smile>
This is not the list that provides the smoke screen synonym names. I still have not found it.
Aspartame has been advised to be avoided for many decades. It used to be the primary artificial sweetener. and through the years has collected many innocuous sounding "other" names as has MSG which many want to avoid.

At her website is are two produce lists 1) the Dirty Dozen list with the most and worst pesticides and 2) the Clean 15 list least concern about pesticides
the lists change minimally from year to year

*Dirty Dozen List: (so the suggestion is to buy these organic)
Apples
Strawberries
Grapes
Celery
Cherries
Peaches
Pears
Spinach
Sweet Bell Peppers
Imported Nectarines
Cherry Tomatoes
Potatoes
Hot Peppers

Clean 15 List:

Canteloupe
Cauliflower
Sweet Potato

Happened upon a whole slew of resource looking for the synonym list I will just leave three of them here since I spent some time looking and they might be useful to other folks too.

For a more in depth look associated with chemical effects on health these three are useful:
These can be useful to anyone with medical conditions to manage to prevent aggravating them. I have no idea if m.d.s advise any of this. I know they did not used to be concerned. Today's nutritionists are - much different from those 30 years ago.

1) https://www.cspi.org/page/chemical-cuisine-food-additive-safety-ratings
useful - however too many ads and too much clutter (not to say some of the articles may not be worth reading)
The information is underneath all of that and it has a snazzy name: "Chemical Cuisine" Additive Safety Ratings
Chemical Cuisine entries can be filtered by safety rating, purpose, or health concern. Entries are organized alphabetically, and you can choose a letter from A to Z in the leftmost column to see all entries beginning with that letter. You can also scroll the list on this page to see all food additives for which we have ratings. See the FAQ above for more information.

2) https://www.fao.org/gsfaonline/additives/index.html
Very detailed Codex and a lot of cross references - followed one additive and it warned that the problem was about being mixed with another specific ingredient.

3) https://ec.europa.eu/food/food-feed-portal/screen/food-additives/search
European Commission Food and Feed Information Portal Database
They restrict more - so if not on their list the chemical (or supposedly harmless edible ingredient) is probably restricted; if on the list limited to specific uses
