ever hear of propyl gallate? or how about diactyl? i could list many more but i think your answer might be the same-no. these are some of the additives in our foods along with other chemicals, artificial colors and flavorings. it is big business. much of it is not good for us.
a non-profit research group-EWG-is trying to educate us about the potential health concerns of these additives and that many of the additives allowed in the US are banned in other countries. as one of their senior scientists recently said "with thousands of ingredients lurking in food, EWG wanted to bring attention to additives that may have implications for human health, and we wanted to expose how the food regulatory system has failed us."
if you believe that in part we are what we eat you might like further information and a list of their "dirty dozen" at www.ewg.org
