Additive Education (AddEd) is here to help you reduce the amount of additives in your food - whether it be at home, at kindergarten, in the school canteen, in a commercial kitchen or anywhere else that food is made, sold and/or consumed. We also aim to encourage manufacturers to use safe alternatives in their foods. Why? Because some additives commonly cause behavioural problems, learning difficulties and health issues.

AddEd is run by Kathleen Daalmeyer (BA Psych) and Jenny Ravlic (Mum). We have personally experienced the effects of food additives with ourselves and our children. Our children have changed from being argumentative, defiant, teary, annoying, unfocussed children who had sleeping and health problems, to ones who enjoy each other's company, sleep well, and can focus on school work - without coughs, rashes and tummy aches. This is all because of food!

AddEd is closely associated with the Food Intolerance Network, which has over 4,800 registered members in Australia and overseas. The Network was founded by Sue Dengate. Sue's books, DVD and online support have changed the lives of thousands of parents who are now aware of the effects of additives in the foods they eat, and are therefore able to avoid these additives.
