saltpeter

Potassium nitrate (KNO3), a substance used in explosives (usually gunpowder) and fertilizers.

Contrary to popular urban legend, saltpeter has no effect on libido, and too many side effects (high fever, etc.) to be used even if it did.

The army doesn't want to kill our soldiers with saltpeter. They want our enemies to do it.

frankenfoods

Genetically-modified food crops, often including the insertion of genetic material that cannot be found in nature. While we're assured they are safe, little testing goes into making sure this is true.

Many countries and consumers are wising up to the hazards inherent in frankenfoods.

tofu

Very nummy bean curd that can be used a variety of ways. No, it's not really natural. Neither is most of the stuff we eat.

We had peppers and tofu stir-fried in hot sauce for supper.
