For Dr Laurent Chevallier, “the effects of these synthetic products are insufficiently studied in terms of their impact on health and nothing is known about their possible interactions when they are used in cocktails. “Under the precautionary principle, the nutritionist advises limiting products containing the following additives:

E249 and E252, classified in group 2A (probably carcinogenic to humans).
E102 and E104.
