you missed the number one most dangerous food additive of all.
High Fructose Corn Syrup
"High-fructose corn syrup starts out as cornstarch, which is chemically or enzymatically degraded to glucose and some short polymers of glucose.
Another enzyme is then used to convert varying fractions of glucose into fructose...High-fructose corn syrup just doesn't exist in nature."[10]
Since HFCS is present in a "staggering" amount of food in the US, and in most foods marketed to children, there are doubts as to whether it can be
consumed in moderation:
...unless you're making a concerted effort to avoid it, it's pretty difficult to consume high-fructose corn syrup in moderation.
HFCS is a poison to diabetics and since it came on the market the rates of obesity and diabetes have skyrocketed
At temperatures above 45 °C (113 °F) HFCS rapidly forms hydroxymethylfurfural, which is toxic

All food with HFCS as a ingredient that has been cooked above 45 °C (113 °F) contains large amounts of hydroxymethylfurfural
And most children's foods like cereals meet this and people wonder why ADHD and ADD are so bad.
Its from there central nervous system neurological effects of this C**P
