Podcast: Angst Over Additives in Our Food

The UConn Health Pulse Podcast logo.
The “UConn Health Pulse” podcast brings a variety of expertise on health topics to the general public.

In light of efforts at the federal level to restrict certain food dyes, it can be challenging to separate fact from myth when it comes to things in our food that aren’t naturally occurring.

Dr. Rebecca Andrews, UConn Health primary care physician whose roles include director of primary care, associate program director of UConn’s Internal Medicine Residency, and nationally, chair of the American College of Physicians Board of Regents, has been following the science, and joins the “UConn Health Pulse” podcast to help differentiate between the potential risks of food additives and the benefits of natural, whole foods, why we may be paying more attention to this now, and how to navigate the noise to try to make good choices.

If you make foods more attractive, more tasty, and they make us feel good, we can develop almost food addictions or unhealthy eating. &#8212 Dr. Rebecca Andrews
