Sue Dengate is an author and consumer activist focussed on the effects of food on children and adults health, behaviour and learning though the Food Intolerance Network at www.fedup.com.au. The Food Intolerance Network consists of over 12,000 families, mostly in Australia and New Zealand but with members in USA, UK, EU, Canada and several other countries. A grateful member just summarised what we do as "helping families and taking corporations to task". We'd say that's exactly what we do.

The Network provides

•	independent information about the effects of food on behaviour, health and learning in both children and adults, and

•	support for families using a low-chemical elimination diet free of additives, low in salicylates, amines and flavour enhancers (FAILSAFE) for health, behaviour and learning problems.

The Network is run as a free service and is an unincorporated body whose costs have been met for the past 24 years from the sale of Sue Dengate's books and by giving talks. The business entity is Sue Dengate, registered for GST and Australian Business Number ABN 72 705 112 854. The mailing address is PO Box 718, Woolgoolga NSW 2456, Australia.

The Network has an active Sue Dengate Facebook page with over 12,000 members, sends a quarterly electronic newsletter to more than 12,000 families, arranges talks to more than 3,000 people a year, lobbies Ministers and food regulators and runs an active website which has seen nearly 10 million hits since 1999, with often more than 5,000 visits per day.



Sue Dengate is a psychology graduate and former high school teacher who became interested in the effects of food additives after the birth of her first child 20 years ago. Since then, Sue has focused on the effects of food chemicals on children's behaviour, health and learning ability. She is author of the bestselling Fed Up series, published by Random House Australia. In 2001, Sue completed a round the world 'supermarket tour' to compare the use of food additives in 15 countries. Her groundbreaking study about the behavioural effects of a common bread preservative was published in a medical journal in 2002. Sue, helped by her husband Dr Howard Dengate, a food scientist, runs the Food Intolerance Network through the website www.fedup.com.au. Sue was an Australian of the Year finalist in 2009.
