Pros and cons of Food Additives Checker app for iPhone and iPad

Food Additives Checker app good for

Lets you distinguish curcumin from sulfuric acid in your food ;)
After a friend of mine was treted for cancer and it came back with a vengence she looked for all alternatives to help her. Shes not going to make it to 40 sadly. Her illness has brought a lot of awarness to those of us around her. She found out about all of these chemicals being added to our foods. She has stopped eating the foods that contain any of these chemicals and some of her tumors have shrunk substantially. The doctors cant figure it out but we know why! Our childs cereals contained BHT and I found out my FAVORITE food has both BHT and BHA in it! Look these chemicals up first and save your own children! This app will save your life! Another point - i found that the bigger the company, the more chemicals are in their foods.
Everything is working fine. Best E app for shopping. Waiting Russian lang.
