Inge Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 I am sure we are all aware of additives and their effects they may have, but one I was not aware of until today is found in bread... which many of us serve regularly to the children. E282 Calcium propionate (mould inhibitor) Found in: bread products Linked with: aggression, hyperactivity and stomach ache. this explains the behavour of one of our children, everytime he has toast at snack time. We noticed it within a week of him starting with us, and after eliminating all other food products felt that bread was the cause of his behaviour change. No one believed us, but he always has a behaviour change after eating toast. i am now off to check the bread we use and change brand if I can find one without it to try it out. More information onthis and other additives which can be useful can be found here GM.TV (this is a website which changes articles regularly so after time may not be available) Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inge Posted February 23, 2005 Author Share Posted February 23, 2005 our children come from varied backgrounds and for some it is their breakfast!! hence the bread , we decided it better than biscuits, we do have crackers and other foods too sometimes but they always ask where is the toast? Cannot imagine making bread for 40 children every day, I do at home but I know my limitations and costs need to be considered. Inge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
