In some cases it is thought that food "additives" can be harmful or unhealthy. In the case of Soda Pop the ingredient Aspartame has been (in some research) been linked to increased incidences of cancer.
The majority of foods contain chemical additives.
Food additives seem to be in everything we buy at the store. They can be avoided with the help of conscious shopping. This is done by reading all of the ingredients of every product of interest, and putting back anything that has additives in it.
If a processed food is labeled "100% organic," any additives it contains must be 100% organic. If a food is labeled "organic" 30% of the ingredients, including additives can be the same as those used in non-organic foods.
Organic food does not contain the additives and preservatives that non-organic food does. It is also grown without using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. At the very least, organic foods help you to avoid substances that may be harmful to your health and at best it makes you healthier.

Non-organic food is not necessarily bad for you, though it can contain GMOs, preservatives, artificial food colorings, and other additives that are bad for you.
People who are concerned about foods that contain additives and preservatives, the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, and want to avoid GMOs consume organic foods.
