[A'dan Z'ye Gıda Katkı Maddeleri: Fark Etmeden Yediklerimiz]
translates to: "Food Additives from A to Z: What We Eat Without Realising"
Prof. Dr. Fatih Gültekin
Food additives have been a topic of constant discussion in recent years. Unfortunately, there is a great deal of misinformation in this area, and the information available is often unsatisfactory and inadequate to meet people's needs. As a result of this lack of accurate information, many questions remain unanswered in people's minds. These questions mainly concern whether additives are harmful and whether they pose a problem in terms of our beliefs.
Food additives are associated with many diseases, ranging from allergies to migraines, hyperactivity and cancer. In addition, there are many additives derived from animal sources that are important in terms of our beliefs and individual preferences.
If you want to learn more about the approximately 400 additives permitted for use in our country, their functions, the products they are used in, how they are produced from which sources, and which ones pose health risks, this work, written with a scientific approach and consumer awareness, will be useful to you.

Technological advances are also evident in the food industry, with more and more ready-made foods appearing on store shelves every day. While these products appeal to our eyes and taste buds, they also pose a risk for many diseases due to the additives they contain.
In today's world, where finding products without additives is almost impossible, we must learn more about these additives, which are both risky for our health and may not be halal according to our beliefs, and choose products that do not contain them when shopping.
In this book, hundreds of products have been virtually created to reflect the contents of products on the market and evaluated for you in terms of food additives. Our aim is not to direct you towards specific brands or products in a positive or negative way. On the contrary, our goal is to help you develop the ability and habit of evaluating product contents.
If you want to learn how to distinguish between healthier food products and those that are more in line with your beliefs and personal preferences, this book will be useful for you.
