There's actually a lot of photo chemistry in prepared food, particularly the
ingredients of hypo clearing agent like EDTA, sodium bisulfite, sodium citrate,
etc. Will it make us archival?

Subject: [pure-silver] Hydroquinone - would you like fries with that?
Feeling sub optimal the day after eating a large packet of McDonald's french
fries, I decided to check out their ingredients. Did you know McDonald's use
a
hydroquinone derivative in the oil used to cook their fries ? It's used as an
antioxidant to reduce rancidity, and known as TBHQ.

The temporary dip in my well being might have been coincidental, but even the
idea of eating so many unusual ingredients makes me want to stay far away from
them!
