1. The ingredients listed on the label aren't the only things in the
food. Cancer-causing chemicals such as acrylamides may be formed in the
food during high-heat processing, yet there's no requirement to list
them on the label. Residues of solvents, pesticides and other chemicals
may also be present, but also do not have to be listed. The National
Uniformity for Food Act, currently being debated in the U.S. Congress,
would make it illegal (yes, illegal) for states to require cancer
warnings on foods that contain cancer-causing chemicals (such as
California's Proposition 65.)

2. Monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is added to thousands of food and
grocery products through a dozen different innocent-sounding
ingredients, imbalances endocrine system function, disabling normal
appetite regulation and causing consumers to keep eating more food. This
chemical not only contributes to nationwide obesity, it also helps food
companies boost repeat business.

3. MSG is routinely hidden in foods in these ingredients: yeast extract,
torula yeast, hydrolyzed vegetable protein and autolyzed yeast.
Thousands of common grocery products contain one or more of these
chemical taste enhancers, including nearly all "vegetarian" foods such
as veggie burgers (read labels to check).

4. ADHD in children is caused almost entirely by the consumption of
processed food ingredients such as artificial colors and refined
carbohydrates. Eighty percent of so-called ADHD children who are taken
off processed foods are cured of ADHD in two weeks.
