Food additives tested on over 300% more animals in the UK

[Guest guest]

All UK Citizens in Health and Healing

 

The trend for healthier eating has led to an increase of more than

300% 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.

 

Please ask your MP to sign " Early Day Motion (EDM) 4 " , which calls

on the Government to stop granting licences for experiments for

additives and other foodstuffs.
