A food chemist that I met retired after finding out that many of the things that can now slip under seasoning or spices are addictive drugs and have mind altering effects. Remember when cigarettes were loaded with addictive substances, now they just find new ones and call them seasonings or preservatives when that is not their purpose. Best not to eat processed food. Unfortuneately they are now trying to get laws to irradiate and do other things to fresh whole foods to effect those who try to go the whole food route.
