I eat fresh meat, cheese, eggs, well-washed fresh or frozen vegetables, fresh or frozen fruit, fresh bread and fresh grains. I drink milk, orange juice, tea and wine. Sounds fairly additive free...
Wait, wait, wait! There's BHT in my cereal. (Who wants stale cereal?)

Not that I eat horribly or an completely ignorant of nurtrition but I would go out on a limb and say I have eaten a estimated 1,768 (1 a week for 34 years, give or take) McDonalds cheeseburgers in my life. Now, that must have cumulative effect on a living organism. I just can't get myself all worked up over a flu shot, at this point.
