"""Chemicals in Our Food: What's Really on Your Plate?"" by Kevin B DiBacco is a comprehensive guide to understanding the chemical composition of our food and its impact on our health and the environment. The book begins by introducing readers to the basics of food chemistry, explaining how even natural foods are made up of chemical compounds.

DiBacco explores various aspects of food chemistry, including:

1. Food additives and preservatives, discussing their purposes and potential health effects.

2. Pesticides and herbicides used in agriculture, and their presence in our food supply.

3. Allergens and food sensitivities, explaining how certain chemicals in food can trigger adverse reactions.

4. Environmental contaminants that find their way into our food chain.

5. The impact of food packaging on food safety and quality.

6. The debate surrounding organic food and its purported benefits.

7. Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) and their role in modern agriculture.

8. How different cooking methods affect the chemical composition of food.

The book also covers important consumer information, such as how to read and understand food labels, and provides an overview of the regulatory framework governing food chemicals. It addresses emerging concerns in the food industry and looks at the future of food production and consumption.

Throughout the book, DiBacco uses a conversational tone to make complex scientific concepts accessible to the average reader. He includes real-world examples, case studies, and practical tips to help readers apply this knowledge in their daily lives.

The author's goal is not to alarm readers but to educate them, enabling them to make informed choices about their food. By demystifying the science behind what we eat, ""Chemicals in Our Food"" empowers consumers to navigate the modern food landscape with greater confidence and understanding."
