You can look up those hard-to-pronounce ingredients and find out what they're all about. I looked up an easy-to-pronounce one and this is what I learned:
"RED 40 ... Artificial coloring: Soda pop, candy, gelatin desserts, pastry, sausage. The most widely used food dye. While this is one of the most-tested food dyes, the key mouse tests were flawed and inconclusive. An FDA review committee acknowledged problems, but said evidence of harm was not "consistent" or "substantial." Like other dyes, Red 40 is used mainly in junk foods. Ref : Center for science in the public interest. Banned in Denmark, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria and Norway."
