How to start failsafe eating

Here’s a simple way to start:

  • switch to preservative free bread (Bakers Delight, Banjos or Brumbys or if possible)
  • drink water (bottled, spring, filtered or tap if it tastes OK) instead of juice or cordial
  • avoid artificial colours in lollies etc (Wethers Originals are colour free, but save lollies for treats)
  • avoid flavour enhancers (600 numbers) in noodles, Shapes etc (plain noodles, crackers like Saladas are OK)
  • avoid preservatives in processed foods SEE LIST BELOW
  • avoid synthetic antioxidants in foods and oils SEE LIST BELOW
  • avoid broccoli, tomato, citrus, grapes and their products.
  • switch to a2milk if available (see www.a2australia.com.au)
Some families see a big improvement just by cutting down. Others will get best results by doing a full elimination diet, free of additives, low in salicylates, amines and flavour enhancers (failsafe).
