For example E number E621 defines  Monosodium glutamate created in 1908 by Japanese Chemist  Professor Ikeda Kikunae. E954 Saccharin  the first artificial sweetener synthesized in 1879 by Remsen and Fahlberg. E250 Sodium nitrite is one of many preservatives used to extend shelf life of food and drinks. Wars by land and sea ( French Navy 1806 ) stimulated the necessity to invent methods to preserve food and drinks by canning to sustain soldiers fighting ability over longer geographical distance. Vacum sealed Cans were invented 1873.

Addiction. 2010 study conducted by scientists at Scripps Research Institute (SRI) in Florida found that rats given free access to artificial processed foods had brain activity and function mirroring those occurring in the brains of drug addicts. http://www.scripps.edu/news/press/2010/20100329.html

6.  Addiction. Sugar. Neurobiology research shows food causes serious addiction, the kind that addictive drugs do. Dr Nicole Avena and colleagues The department of Psychiatry, University of Florida, report the consumption of sugar not only alters brain function and behaviour, it also elicits the same type of withdrawal symptoms like opiate drugs do. Sugar affects the opioid receptors in the brain, which are recognized by natural (endogenous or not) opioid substances. Foods rich in fat affect the brain in a different way, they cause withdrawal-type symptoms as well. Studies show there is a unique relationship between emotional balance and fatty acids.

7. Addiction. Psychological “High”. 2011. Researchers at both the University of Texas in Austin (UT) and the Oregon Research Institute found prolonged consumption of junk foods results in reduced activity in the striatum, a section of the forebrain that registers reward the same as with illicit drugs, those addicted to junk food require ever-increasing amounts to get the same "high." www.naturalnews.com/034478_junk_foods_addictive_brain_chemistry.html

8.  Addiction. Fat. Study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation in 2011 tested the effects of fat consumption in healthy people while experiencing experimentally induced sad feelings. Within minutes the sad feelings were significantly alleviated and the subjects reported improved mood, while MRI scans confirmed the expected brain response. This study is important as it shows fat does not have to be properly digested to modify brain functions. The presence of fat in the gut triggers the release of gastrointestinal hormones, which regulate neurological and emotional responses within minutes. http://www.jci.org/articles/view/46380
