Dodgy ingredients, please can you add to my list?

I am getting a bit tougher on "crap stuff" being found in our day to day products/food etc. Latest bugbear is sweeteners, I know another thread about the new name for Aspartame is elsewhere, but I wanted to try and get a list together both of dodgy sweeteners/ingredients as well as the horrors that go into soaps and shampoos.

Please can you help me?

I'll kick off with the sweeteners I am aware of...

FOOD
Aspartame (now called Aminosweet)
Acesulfame K
Saccharin
Sucralose
Stevia
Tagatose
....

SOAPS

Parabens
SLS (?)

Thanks

Fluoride - In majority of Water supply in USA and Bottled Water (UK included - check your labels!)

Fluoride is the main ingredient for 'Rat Poison' as well as in tap water! Fascinating video - check it out.
