artificial flavouring is bad to add for foods as it the only there as an artificial substitute for the real thing in order to make you believe you are tasting something when you are not, for example vanilla ice cream is a perfect example, and also in packets of crisps, in all the flavours, slat n vinegar, beef steak, cheese and onion, prawn cocktail, they are all artificially made using chemicals. its done for cheapness.

artificial preservatives are also bad in foods because they are there to give th food a longer shelf life and only benefit the producer of the foods not the consumer.

some types of artificial flavouring, colouring and preservative have been linked to medical conditions and hyperactivity in children etc... food we eat, even down to apples that are genetically modified to look rounder and then sprayed with chemicals to preserve them and make them look shiny, have infiltrated every aspect of the food we eat.

the bottom line is is you want to taste a particular flavour it should be natural and not manufactured chemically

There's a lot of concern around these -- there's concern that some may cause cancer, hyperactivity, athesmatic reactions, and are generally toxic for the body. Some people are allergic to them.
The concern is understandable becuase, after all, these are synthetic chemicals that we put into food to stop it from decomposing naturally. That's pretty weird when you look at it from a natural foods POV.

Such things are added to foods to impove taste, shelf life, make it easy to cook, etc. I think it started with shelf life, then snowballed from there. Sometimes, such as with sweeteners, things are added according to consumer demand. (never mind that sucralose metabolises into a poison and that aspartame causes cancer, we want low calories!)
Artificial flavouring is really cheap, thus the attraction to such chemicals.

Generally they're added for economic and marketing reasons, not for any legitimate health reasons.
