This article exposes the fact that some common food additives are estrogenic, and

therefore able to alter human hormones. This article applies to my article because itdemonstrates one way in which food additives are added to our food and have veryharmful effects on the consumers. This article also demonstrates how chemicals in our

food, whether to make the food look more appealing or have a better flavour, aredetrimental to our health. Jessica Knoblauch is a freelance journalist who has many

articles published inEnvironmental Health News andMother Nature Network.Knoblauch has a very strong background in the field of environmental issues, and

therefore knows an extensive amount of information on the subject of different chemicalsthat are used as preservatives in food. She is not a biased source as she is stating the facts

about preservatives in food and relaying the information regarding the studies that havebeen conducted to prove the points in this article. As a result of her extensive knowledge,

she is a very reliable source regarding this topic.
