Food Additives AKA: Food et al. - Episode #224

This week, Chris and Mike discuss food additives. What do all those long words on the ingredient list really mean?  How much of them are we actually consuming? Are they bad for us? Are "natural" additives better for you? Topics include: sweeteners,(Aspartame, sucralose, acesulfam, stevia), colours, flavour enhancers (MSG) and preservatives (sulfites and nitrites). We also learn that Mike is afraid of Vikings and why you shouldn't drink wine in the woods by yourself if you have asthma (or even if you don't)
