Answer 3

-Aspartame

-Hydronated Oil

-High Fructose Corn Syrup (more sweet than table sugar, can cause diabetes and obesety)

-MSG (its a filler... makes you addicted to foods too, AND used to make rats obese)

-Blue 1, Yellow 5 (used to add coloring to foods)

-Nitrates (found in hotdogs... can cause cancer)

hmm those are the ones i could think of right now, but im sure there are more out there :S and maybe some of them are still not known yet :S

best thing is to make foods from scratch, or to ALWAYS look at the labels (especially the top 5 ingredients.. which are the ones that are added the most i think).

Answer 4

aspartame ...in artificial sweeteners ... links to cancer

Answer 5

I'd say High Fructose Corn Syrup.

Most disgusting is Cochineal, a red dye derived from the cochineal insect, Dactylopius coccus.

Answer 6

I agree with aspertame.

I also think that high fructose corn syrup is bad news. It causes weight gain, irritability, headaches among other negative effects.

MSG - monosodiumglutimate

Added to a lot of Asian Cuisine here in the states.

High fructose corn syrup, it's in everything  here yet it's banned in Europe!

Hydrogenated oils are pretty bad, too. They convert to those nasty trans fats that clog up your pipes.

Hydrogenated oils
