Too much crap

So many colors and crap! Needs to be more simple!!! Please!!!

Seems like a wealth of info on food additives

Our grand kids are on restricted diets related to many additives supposedly greatly affecting attention and ADHD. I've had some doubts about some of "information". Controlled studies are not as confirming of that, but the anecdotal reports of some zealous groups can be persuasive to some. Hopefully this is Will give me a more independent reference to check on what's known and what's in doubt from another source.

Some things are not easy or simple. There's a lot of additives on the list here, but I also see a lot of food additives listed as ingredients on things we have in the fridge that aren't on the list yet. Keep up the good work.

Thank you.

Missing Migraine Triggers

Bought this app for family allergy & sensitivity & breezed past migraine section. I've had migraines since adolescence & they are a common problem in my family. Weather & hormone fluctuations are unpredictable, but food & additives we avoid. This list comes up short. Missing very common triggers-

Tannins (like red wine & walnuts)
MSG
Sodium Nitrate
Sodium Benzoate
Potassium Sorbate
