I wouldn't call that "A lot more". Many whole cheeses contain
ingredients other than just milk, it's what gives them their
individuality. I don't think anyone ever suffered any ill effects
from ingesting a bit of potato starch, cellulose, or calcium sulfate,
which is a very common chemical in foods that is used as a desiccant,
it is also used as a coagulant in products like tofu. There are a lot
more chemicals to be concerned with in a ham sandwhich.
