Quite often crafty marketing and clever labeling from the food manufacturers leads us to believe we are making a healthy choice for our children.  But really, a lot of the time, the products contain a whole host of artificial additives, which have been linked with many health problems including ADHD, asthma, eczema, depression, anxiety, kidney and liver failure and even cancer. At Additive Free Kids our goal is to help you beat these dodgy food manufacturers at their own game and learn how to no longer fall for their sneaky tricks, how to find the good food manufacturers who are genuinely using real food in their products and doing the right thing by us. And also to find easy and affordable additive free options for your family in a way that can be fun, colourful and tasty without the use of ANY harmful additives.  Because choosing to live an additive free lifestyle does not mean that your children should ever have to feel like they are missing out on the fun stuff!  As consumers it is up to us to send the message to food manufacturers that we will not continue to allow unnecessary chemicals in the food we eat and feed to our children!

Tegan's Story

Tegan is a full time mother of 2, the Co-Author of the much loved book “Additive Free Kids Parties” and is a strong advocate for chemical free foods for children and adults. Her passion for additive free foods has come from a personal struggle with her oldest daughter's ADHD symptoms. Although Tegan says that Amelia’s ADHD is never really “cured” it is managed through her diet and Amelia now leads a normal, healthy life and has gone from being violent, unable to focus and non compliant to being a polite, enthusiastic class member in school and is even in the advanced groups in her class! Since having such great success with her own daughter, Tegan is on a mission to help all parents become more aware of what is really in their children’s food and how to avoid all of the nasties, so that all children can overcome these issues, start to reach their full potential and be a part of a happy family again.

To help combat the serious issues of chemical overload in children, 20% of the profit from all copies of Additive Free Kids Parties sold goes directly to the Mindd Foundation. A non-profit organisation which is having huge success helping children with neurological disorders overcome their challenges without the use of medications.

Tegan Benfell has featured in stories in The Sunday Times and some local newspapers, as well as talking on radio and appearing on ABC’s Stateline and Today Tonight. You can also watch Tegan once a month on the Foxtel Aurora channel show “The Couch” as she hosts her segment called “healthy choices”.
