"Why 160 Countries Banned These American Foods"

"The food you eat every day is banned in 160 countries. We're talking about what's in your bread, your candy, your kids' cereal right now. Potassium bromate in your bread. Azodicarbonamide, the same chemical used to make yoga mats, baked into your sandwich rolls. Titanium dioxide, the white pigment used in paint, sitting in your candy and gum. Red 40 in almost everything your kids eat, while European labels warn parents about it and American labels say nothing.

In this video we look at real people who left America and watched their health change. French teachers who gain fifteen pounds every school year in America and lose it every summer back home. People who lived abroad for years with zero stomach problems and came back to the US and felt sick within days. A two year old who grew up eating in France and came to America and spit the food out. Just people describing what happened to their own bodies.

Then we get into the actual ingredients sitting in your pantry right now. Banned in the EU, Canada, China, Brazil. Some of them banned for thirty years. The science has been there for years. Researchers have been publishing it. And American grocery store shelves look exactly the same.

So how is any of this still legal. The answer goes back to 1997, when the FDA handed food companies the legal right to decide for themselves what is safe to put in your food. No independent review. No oversight. The companies decide. Publicly traded corporations that answer to shareholders."
