Another thing most people don't know about: in the list of ingredients, if an ingredient comprises less than 2% of the product, they don't technically have to list it. That's why you often see lists of ingredients that end with "Contains less than 2% of the following..." They're basically saying, 'see, we don't have to put these things on here, but we are because we're good guys.' All you have to do is look at the number of things that come after that line to realize how much crap other companies might be putting in without telling you. Especially food or ingredients that are sourced from foreign countries.
