Interestingly, that's how we look at labels in our family. If it's unpronounceable, it's probably not good.

Only if you are making a public speech about them and get embarrassed by your pronunciation. Ingredients come from all over the world and so their names may seem a trifle exotic -- give the pronunciation a try, start slowly, syllable by syllable. Or are you referring to chemical additives? If so, look up each one on the net if you are worried.
