additives
Many food additives don't seem to produce adverse reactions and are possibly safe. The unintended consequences and risks can be unpredictable.
Some block absorption of nutrients. Some are carcinogenic. Some cause allergies. Some produce uncomfortable sensations like palpitations which lead to panic reactions. Some disrupt hormones which interferes with mood and intellectual activity.
Oestrogen mimics, especially in plastics packaging, disturb foetal sexual maturation and hormones and lead to a range of illnesses and uncontrollable mood swings. .
Some metals that leach out of cooking utensils disrupt neural transmission, hormones and energy systems affecting health and mood.
Glutamates like MSG and related excito-toxins including some TVP extracts act like speed. They make food delicious and life exciting but drive neurons to death through exhaustion, which in the long run leads to loss of brain mass and intellectual capacity.
preservatives
We used to begin to decay hours after death. Now after a lifetime of eating preservatives it can take weeks.
Preservatives inhibit biological activity. Depending on the way they do this they can slow down or disrupt all sorts of physiological processes. Our biochemical activity is suppressed. We are embalmed alive.
In my experience most people who eliminate preservatives from their diet eventually after a few months or years find them noticeable and unpleasant.

water
Countries that add fluoride and the accompanying toxic metals from the waste products of industrial processes to tap water have had no more reduction in tooth decay than those that don't. They have unsurprisingly experienced significantly more health problems (including tooth damage and delayed eruption) as Fluoride and the other toxic metals are biologically active and in significant dosages. Effects include fluorosis and fluoride accumulation in the Pineal gland.
Water sitting in copper water pipes especially in long lengths heated by the sun can bring dangerous levels of copper into the kitchen. Copper and other heavy metals leach into water the longer it sits in copper pipes. This is enhanced by the chemicals added during fluoridation. Running water through the pipes before using it internally or on the skin reduces the possibilities of harm.
