Annotated Bibliography #1

For my upcoming research project, I am covering Food Industrialization. One of my main focuses will be on food additives, and how they play a role in food industrialization. I feel that they play an important part of this issue, and they are simply in almost everything we eat. Below I will list my first three sources for this paper. Each of which will relate to this specific topic.

“Evaluation of Certain Food Additives.” WHO Technical Report Series.956 (2010): I,V,VI,VII,VIII,1,3,53,55,57,59-77,79-80. ProQuest. Web. 23 Feb. 2014.

This above source shows the globalization of food additives. It shows how they originated in the United States, but are quickly growing to other parts of the world. This falls right into line with food industrialization as additives are a way to achieve that.

Clemens, Roger, David Schmidt. “Conflicts of Interests in Approvals of Food Additives.” JAMA Internal Medicine. Feb. 2014. Web 23 Feb. 2014.

The above source is about the experts who judge the safety of food. These experts are trained medical professionals who regulate what is added into food. Despite this fact, many negative additives are placed in food that should not be placed there.

Guiltkin, Faith, Duygu Kumbul Doguc. “Allergic and Immunologic Reactions to Food Additives.” Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology. Volume 45 Issue I, pg 6-29. Aug 2013. Web 23 Feb 2014.

The above source is about the many issues that food additives possess. One of the biggest being allergies caused by these foods, as well as immunities caused by them as well. With something so common, like additives, it is highly likely that these issues can be directly traced back to these additions to food.
