Why are Americans fat, sick and diseased?
Sure, lack of willpower may be part of it….
But I think there is a much bigger reason.
FOOD.
The “food” we eat, and yes I have to put that in quotes.
We all know that some things we eat aren’t good for us, but you might not know that even when you’re trying to eat good food, you’re often eating things that are literally BANNED in other countries.
But they feed them to you by the gallon here in America!
It’s why you’ll often hear stories (or tell them yourself) of people who travel over to Europe and they’ll say “we ate all the time, but we never felt sick and we actually started to feel a lot better during our stay.”
Why?
Because they’re not eating all the literal poisons that are in our foods.
Allow me to explain…
Let’s start off right here with 13 chemical additives that are banned in most other countries, but still used in the USA:
I asked ChatGPT to give me a more comprehensive list and this is what it gave me — pretty mind-blowing (and depressing):
Creating a comprehensive list of 100 specific American foods and food additives that are allowed in the USA but banned in other countries on the spot is quite challenging, given the vast number of food items and the differences in regulations across countries. However, I can highlight some well-known examples to give you an idea of the types of products and additives that often face bans or restrictions outside the United States. This will not reach 100 items, but it will provide insight into some key substances:
- rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone) – Used to increase milk production in dairy cows. Banned or restricted in the EU, Canada, and other countries due to animal welfare and potential health risks.
- Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO) – Used in some soft drinks and sports drinks to stabilize the emulsion. Banned in the EU and Japan due to health concerns.
- Azodicarbonamide (ADA) – Used as a bleaching agent in flour and a dough conditioner. Banned in the EU and Australia due to potential health risks.
- BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole) and BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene) – Used as preservatives in various foods, including snacks and cereals. Banned or restricted in parts of the EU and Japan due to potential carcinogenic effects.
- Artificial Colors (e.g., Blue 1, Blue 2, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6) – Used in candies, beverages, and other processed foods. Banned or restricted in Norway, Finland, and Austria, among others, due to health concerns.
- Olestra (Olean) – A fat substitute used in some snack foods. Banned in Canada and the EU due to gastrointestinal side effects.
- Potassium Bromate – Used as a flour improver to strengthen dough. Banned in the EU, Canada, and China among others due to carcinogenic concerns.
- Arsenic – Found in some animal feeds, especially in poultry industry. Banned or restricted in the EU.
- GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) – Specific GMO crops are banned or heavily regulated in many countries, including much of the EU, due to environmental and health concerns.
- Propylparaben – Used as a preservative in various food products. Banned or restricted in the EU for use in certain foods due to potential endocrine-disrupting effects.
- High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) – While not banned in many countries, it’s subject to higher regulations and less commonly used in countries like the EU due to health concerns.
- Diacetyl – Used for butter flavoring in microwave popcorn and other foods. Restricted due to respiratory health concerns in occupational settings.
- Neonicotinoid Pesticides – While not a food additive, these pesticides used on crops are banned or restricted in the EU due to concerns about their impact on bee populations.
- Trans Fats (Partially Hydrogenated Oils) – Used in processed foods and baked goods. Severely restricted or banned in several countries due to heart disease risk.
- Aluminum-based Additives – Used in processed foods and as colorants. Restricted in some countries due to potential health risks.
- Theobromine – Used in some baked goods and to enhance flavor in chocolate products. Subject to regulation in some countries due to its effects similar to caffeine.
- Carrageenan – Used as a thickener and emulsifier in dairy and other products. Banned or restricted in infant formula in the EU due to digestive system concerns.
- Sodium Nitrite/Nitrate – Used for curing meats. While not banned, it is more heavily regulated in some countries due to potential cancer risks.
- Red Dye No. 40 (Allura Red AC) – A common food dye. Restricted in parts of the EU and associated with hyperactivity in children.
- Soylent – A meal replacement product. Banned in Canada for not meeting a meal replacement classification.
- Glyphosate-Based Herbicides – Widely used agricultural chemical. Banned or restricted in several countries due to potential carcinogenic and environmental effects.
- Meat from Cloned Animals – While not a substance, the sale of meat from cloned animals is allowed in the US but banned or restricted in the EU.
- Ethoxyquin – Used as a preservative in pet foods and some human foods like spices. Banned in the EU for certain uses due to potential health risks.
- Acrylamide – Not an additive, but a chemical that forms in some foods during high-temperature cooking. EU has stricter regulations to limit exposure.
- TBHQ (Tertiary Butylhydroquinone) – A preservative used in many processed foods. Limited use or restrictions in the EU due to potential health effects.
- Chlorpyrifos – A pesticide used on crops. Banned or restricted in the EU and other countries due to developmental risks.
- Dimethyl Dicarbonate (Velcorin) – Used in the beverage industry for microbial control. Restrictions vary due to toxicity concerns.
- Methyl Silicone – Used in non-food products but can migrate to food from treatments like antifoaming agents. Regulations vary.
- Phosphate Additives – Used in various processed foods. More heavily regulated in some countries due to health concerns related to heart disease.
- Quaternary Ammonium Compounds (Quats) – Used in food processing as antimicrobial agents. Restrictions vary due to potential health risks.
- Acesulfame Potassium – An artificial sweetener. While approved in the US, it faces more scrutiny and limitations in other countries due to safety concerns.
- Sucralose – Another artificial sweetener. Some countries recommend more moderate consumption due to potential health impacts.
- Titanium Dioxide – Used as a whitening agent in foods. Banned as a food additive in the EU due to concerns over nanoparticle effects on health.
Here’s another list…
Do you see Arsenic?
That’s LITERAL rat poison, and it’s approved for use in our food here in the USA in certain quantities:
Here’s what ChatGPT says about arsenic in our American food — my favorite part is how they work to “reduce” the amount of arsenic in baby food. REDUCE? How about eliminate and ban???
The FDA actively monitors and regulates the presence of arsenic in foods within the United States to ensure the safety of the food supply. Arsenic, a toxic element, can be present in food due to environmental contamination in soil, water, or air. The FDA’s efforts to manage arsenic levels include testing foods for total arsenic, distinguishing between organic (less harmful) and inorganic (more harmful) forms, and conducting risk assessments to understand the potential health risks associated with arsenic exposure from food. One significant focus has been on reducing arsenic exposure in foods commonly consumed by infants and young children, such as rice and rice products, because of their vulnerability to the harmful effects of these contaminants…
