Accepted Answer

Lead is a common impurity found in cosmetic lip products, such as lipsticks, and other cosmetics, such as eye shadows, blushes, compact powders, shampoos, and body lotions. Brominated vegetable oil is a food additive sometimes used to keep citrus flavoring from separating out in some sodas and soft drinks. It's banned as a food additive in Europe and Japan. MSG, is a glutamate, or salt of glutamic acid, a non-essential amino acid. It is a neurotransmitter - transporting messages from one nerve cell to another. Because it is said to enhance flavours, some scientists believe it excites nerve endings and exhibits neuro-excitatory properties, that is the ability to stimulate neurons. It is commonly used in Chinese fast food.
