    Everyone loves to put chemical additives in their stomach for one purpose only.
    that purpose is: so big corporations can make more profit.

    Polysorbate 80 used to be my favorite, for some reason, I don't know why.

    Then later, liked the brain damaging qualities of MSG - monosodium glutamate.
    It's a dirt cheap way, for corporations to add flavor, and double their profits.

    Calcium Propionate - banned in European countries because it causes tumors.
    It's a good additive in breads, and N Americans just love it.

    Silly putty in McDonalds fries is another good one. It causes cancer.

    But my favorite has to be titanium dioxide - for color. Dunkin Donuts used to add
    it to donuts. Why they ever quit, I wonder? Is it bad or something?
