Are there any food additives in coffee besides beans and water?

When you buy a cup of coffee at a store or at a gas station, what do they put in the coffee besides coffee beans and water? For example, I have heard that they put preservatives in coffee sometimes. Can coffee contain any vegetable oil products (such as mono-and-diglycerides?) When I eat things with vegetable oil I am convinced I have an adverse reaction, which I think I can get to a slighter degree from drinking coffee, which is why I asked. I am convinved vegetable oil is very unhealthy.
It disgusts me that I have to ask this question.

Pure bean coffee, can have two basic types of bean in them. The purest coffees have Arabica, but a related plant that make a bean that is similar smelling is Robusta. Arabica in its pure form is very drinkable, has a mild amount of caffeine, but Robusta was not consumed by humans until the late 1800, when coffee rust destroyed Java and other plantations. This caused a panic in the coffee industry and a search for a plant that can be used as a substitute, or for cross pollination. Robusta is now used in 30-40% of coffee blends and thee coffee manufacturer can still present it as coffee.

Almost all retail coffee have this and unless marked so do 100% instant coffees. Add to that that other additives can be added to instant, and even ground coffee, the most common being chicory (which is a root vegetable), and it is possible.

Stick to specialty coffees, and you may find the side effects you have disappear, since these are normally pure shade grown Arabica bean based.
