## Resource

A new Consumer Reports investigation reveals alarming levels of additives and contaminants in 40 popular processed foods and drinks—over a third of them contain concerning amounts when both additives and contaminants are considered. With no requirement for companies to disclose exact levels, daily consumption of these products could pose hidden health risks. Some brands are responding by removing artificial colors or titanium dioxide, but for now, experts urge consumers to read labels closely and rethink their regular purchases.
