That's where the food industry slips in these substances. Generally, if you can't pronounce an ingredient or don't have a clue what it is, don't eat it. Granted, not everything in that group is harmful. But just about everything that is harmful IS in that group. Makes life a bit less convenient but I don't have to worry whether I'm being used as a food industry test subject. A guinea pig.
