Citric acid and artificial flavours in soft drinks contain potent brain toxin that can harm the kid’s mental development. Caffeine in soda drinks also upsets the normal balance of neuro-chemistry in developing brains of children.

Artificial flavorings in food products are behind the epidemic level of allergic and flu like symptoms in USA and population across the world. Allergy and Flu were negligible about a hundred years ago. People were more fond of natural home cooked meals then and artificial flavorings were non-existent in that era

Your rum 'flavoured' pudding has probably never been near a brewery. Bees are attracted to bananas. The scent of pineapples can be synthesised directly from components found in vomit (Butyric acid) and alcholic beverages (ethanol). Why all the random junk you may ask? Be patient, they are all connected by those wonderous chemicals called 'Esters'. Esters are the things that create aromas (although aromatic rings like benzene will do that too) and they are all very similar as they may be manufactered from organic acids (i.e. ethanoic acid which is vinegar), and different types of alchol (and I'm not talking about the difference between beer and vodka here. For those without a chemistry background; they all have the same active ingredient ethanol).

But why do bees like bananas? They both contain the chemical 'Isoamyl acetate' , which as you may have now gathered is an ester (and will also attract and provoke bees). Which finally, brings me to the question: If I filter, distil and brew up some drunks' vomit (with a little sulfuric acid), will it smell like pineapples?
