Don't forget high fructose corn syrup and other corn products--all the calories of sugar, without the same sweetening power--so eat more!
The Big Four in my mind are MSG, artificial sweeteners, HFCS and hydrogenated fat. Behind the Big Four are preservatives, dyes and artificial flavorings. Somewhere in there are hormones, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers. Oh, and let's not forget waxes and other petroleum products.
People have to start somewhere, though, and if I had to pick just one, it would be a battle between MSG and artificial sweeteners, both having neurotoxic properties.
