Question:

Are all natural additives good for you?

There has to be some that aren‘t, surely? For example some of them could be linked to hyperactivity or rashes or other things? HELP! It‘s for my coursework, please give source information.

Answer:

I don't think it's the case that natural additives are good for you, more that they're possibly not harmful in the way some unnatural additives are.
Salt is a natural additive, it is toxic if eaten in large amounts, it willl dehydrate and kill you.
No. Just because something is natural does not mean it is good for you. Dog poop and cyanide are natural, but hardly good for anything. Natural simply means it is not synthetically grown. Scorpion venom is natural, so are snake bites, but they are not things the human body is designed to assimilate. Any additive can cause a number of allergic reactions or body responses, natural or otherwise.
