Are chemicals harmful when added to food?

Greetings.  I can tell by the number of posts you've made that you're new here.  I'd like to welcome you, to this forum, and hope you're able to learn lots while here.

I've been browsing your latest posts, like everyone can:  http://www.chemicalforums.com/index.php?action=profile;u=26066;sa=showPosts  and before I answer your questions, I'd like to know where you're coming from.

You seem to ask very general questions.  Maybe you haven't noticed, but a message forum like this one, can't really be used to answer questions like that.  It would be too much typing, and few people really want to do that much typing.

I'm guessing, these are essay questions, assigned by a teacher, for creative writing, or basic science.  They want your opinions, voiced by you, that you've researched, from books, news articles, and the opinions of people around you, written in your own words, so you learn how to communicate what you think.  If we give you too much info, you may not learn how to do this for yourself.

I can't help but wonder, however, judging from the tone of your questions, if maybe none of this applies, and you've actually just come, with an "chemists are ruining the wurld, natral is better, all science evil, hur, hur" chip on your shoulder, and have actually just come here just for an argument.  If that's the case, I'd rather find out sooner, rather than later.  So I won't bother to read your posts, and their replies.  Since I won't be validating your own opinions, you won't want to hear from me, anyway.  So it works for everyone.

So please, can we get some more information from you?  What do you know?  Where have you learned it?  Grammar school?  Secondary school?  Beginning university level?  And what do you need information for?  Science class?  Creative writing class?  Or maybe you just want to know for your own sake?
