80% of Processed Foods in US Are Banned in Other Nations
I write a lot about the dangers of processed foods when it comes to wreaking havoc on our health, but even I was surprised to find that 80% of pre-packaged foods sold in the United States are actually banned in other nations. And for good reason.
Whether it’s toxic soda brands like Mountain Dew, or sugary artificial cereals and carcinogenic ‘potato’ chips, around 80% of the processed food variety within the US actually contains ingredients that are banned around the world in countries like Canada and the United Kingdom. As a matter of fact, sometimes they’re banned throughout the entire European Union. The FDA, however, seems quite alright with these disease-linked substances lurking within the food supply.
And the USDA? Oh, well they also went ahead and approved the very same toxic pesticide that the EU banned just days earlier over significant health concerns and links to the destruction of the bee population — a population which we need in order to generate a staple crop supply for the entire globe.
Banned Ingredients In Your Food
According to a report in Yahoo Sunshine, a team of researchers actually went in and discovered the percentage of items banned based on the examination of ingredients the products contain that were banned across the globe.
From substances like Olestra (used in low fat products and linked to gastrointestinal disorders and of course increased weight gain ironically enough) to thyroid-decimating brominated vegetable oil, hundreds of thousands of products were found to be utilizing these disease-riddled ingredients that the rest of the world shuns due to health concerns.
Meanwhile, Americans are being sold these ‘food’ products throughout the nation via deep discounts and heavy promotions through their local grocery stores. And what does the government have to say?
The same government that cracks down on raw milk and natural supplements. Well, the US government goes ahead and allows for Big Food corporations to unleash their entire medley of health-crushing ingredients within the food supply, and then uses phony corporate science to say that it’s ‘unscientific’ to criticize these companies for their complete lack of concern for public safety.
The bottom line? Ditch any processed food you may be consuming, and don’t be fooled by phony Big Food corporate science. Over 80% of what’s considered food here in the US has been banned in other nations, and citizens there would never dream of eating the yoga mat chemicals that we call chicken nuggets here in the USA.
Freaking amazing! Anthony kudos for your investigative work and team
Look up ILLUMNATI ……on U TUBE or hit other link i put in below when you are finished watching the one below look to right of screen click on KILL LIST……………
Thanks Ginger! To me it's amazing how blatant much of the food supply corruption is, it's amazing to see how little US government agencies and mega food corps actually care to shield their disregard of public health!
Thank you Anthony! I am European (Austria), since 1995 in the USA and could not believe, that well known food from Europe tasted so different! I also found out, that the same, NATURAL food we have in Europe is for Import <laced> with "Preservatives" and a Official is standing by, to make certain, that Stuff gets into the Food-Product! Milk here does not taste like the Milk I know, who comes from farmraised Animal, who feed in the Summertime in the Alps, free running (they still have the Cowbells!) Pork is from Animals, who get decent mixed food…sometimes mixed with Leftovers from Restaurant, that is collected…back to the roots! and so on! We not have our Folk killed by Pharma-Controlled Government and Greedy Corporates! We fight, that this so called food does not come on our Dinnertables! How come, that Ex-Corporate Members are now decide, what is allowed in our Food???…The Fish starts to stink on the HEAD!!! Thank you for educate America! Thank you for telling, what is so wrong to nice People in this Country!
What foods are they? How can you say something like that and not tell us what the list is?!
The list of the actual products is in the hundreds of thousands and the researchers didn't publish them. However, a list of the internationally banned ingredients that can help you while shopping is:
– Red 40, Blue #1, Blue #2, Yellow #5, Yellow #6
– Olestra/Olean
– Brominated Vegetable Oil
– Potassium Bromate
– Azodicarbonamide
– BHA and BHT
At the end of the day, I always recommend buying organic whenever possible and from a trusted source, as other ingredients lurk in processed junk (including GMOs!). Hope that helps.
Please show the evidence for this 80%. Its good talk but in the arguement the evidence must be presented. Your article is worth nothing when writing to my senator for it gives no documentation. Also I have been told that many foods exported to other countries are gmo labled… and there was no evidence for that either. We need much more detail. If companies are already gmo labeling for export then it will cost them nothing to gmo lable here.

Hello Mr. G., Than you for your work. It helps those of us who look for answers in places where there should be answers, clarity and full disclosure but all too often not provided. I share your information in my little place on our world in the hope those who watch me begin their own search for these concerns provided by you and others as in Dr. Betty Martini. Ginger Ferrer
Ginger, spreading the word is key to overall success — and thank you for really making the difference. I just work to expose the information through content. Without seriously informed activists like you, the content would be worthless! Thanks for your kind words and spreading the word.
Keep it simple, if it has more than 5 ingredients and you don't know how to pronounce them you probably shouldn't be using them. We are an intelligent society and we should get back to basics to save our food and soil.
Well said, Kathryn. Preparing your own food also helps. If your package of cashews has 12 ingredients it's time to realize you're not eating cashews anymore.
cashews and peanuts… are treated with fungicides and other chemicals… because they 'grow' a very toxic mold. ALL OF THEM HAVE TO BE TREATED IN THE USA.
I think our society has always been more focused on the simple 'right' to life, rather than the quality of it. There are many things we are force-fed that we should be questioning, but we have become so comfortable it's much easier not to question. I think awareness is definitely the first step, but the blatant disregard is rampant. It's unfortunate that nowadays that there is surprisingly a more negative stigma against this sort of activism and advocacy. It disrupts the routine, it's not given the thought it deserves. People roll their eyes at this sort of thing as they continue to stuff their faces with arsenic-laced fried chicken. I think real change in this sort of thing will happen when people are no longer afraid of socially accepted commodities. There are lots of things to consider, healthier food is harder to come by. Socio-economic status certainly plays a roll in how people operate and choose what they do off the shelves. It would make much more sense, that the pure simple foods would be more readily available. At least they are available, and there has certainly been progress. Your articles are fascinating, thank you!

some of these studies on cancer (by the gov.)are BS…. !!! n the last three years, of 11 friends I have 5 have breast cancer, and the amount of prostate and ovarian cancer is also astronomical… of each 10 people, 4 or 5 have or will get cancer.
where did you get the stats from?
works well for people with the money, for the working poor the crap on the shelf is all they can afford…..if that………
Blah Blah Blah, we’re all doomed from reading your comment.
I think it’s cost cutting and a way to increase profit, but death through disease just happens to be the consequence.
