POLITICS: 368% more animals in the UK tested with food additives

[Guest guest]

All UK Citizens in Native Nutrition

368% more animals in the UK tested with food additives:

The trend for healthier eating has led to a huge increase in the

number of laboratory experiments conducted on animals for food

additives, sweeteners and health supplements in 2006 (4,038) compared

to 2005 (862). In fact, food products are being tested on animals

even though they are already being used by consumers.

These tests, when they involve natural ingredients such as raspberry

juice and cabbage, cannot be for safety purposes. Health benefits of

such foodstuffs are well known and any further information that might

be obtained can be easily researched from human volunteers if this

was deemed necessary.

Early Day Motion (EDM) 4, calls on the UK Government to stop granting

licences for experiments for additives and other foodstuffs.
