[h=1]8 Foods We Eat In The U.S. That Are Banned In Other Countries[/h]
[h=2]1. Artificial food dye: Makes your food pretty and can inhibit nerve-cell development.[/h]
Found in: Practically everything we eat: cake mixes, sports drinks, cheese, candy, and even MACARONI AND CHEESE.
Why it’s dangerous: Artificial dyes are made from chemicals derived from petroleum, which is also used to make gasoline, diesel fuel, asphalt, and tar! Artificial dyes have been linked to brain cancer, nerve-cell deterioration, and hyperactivity in children, just to name a few.
Where it’s banned: Norway, Finland, Austria, France, and the U.K.
[h=2]2. Olestra (or Olean): Lowers calorie counts while causing vitamin depletion and anal leakage.[/h]
Found in: Fat-free potato chips, corn chips, and French fries.
Why it’s dangerous: Created by Procter & Gamble as a substitute for cooking oil, Olestra robs your body of its ability to absorb vitamins. Fun side effects include cramps and leaky bowels.
Where it’s banned: The U.K. and Canada.
[h=2]3. Brominated vegetable oil: Makes food dye stick to liquid, but also may cause birth defects and major organ damage.[/h]
Found in: Sports drinks and citrus-flavored sodas.
Why it’s dangerous: Bromine is a chemical used to stop carpets from catching on fire, so you can see why drinking it may not be the best idea. BVO is linked to major organ system damage, birth defects, growth problems, schizophrenia, and hearing loss.
Where it’s banned: In over 100 countries.
[h=2]4. Potassium bromate (or bromated flour): Great for impatient bakers, bad for your kidneys and nervous system.[/h]
Found in: Wraps, rolls, bread crumbs, bagel chips, flat breads.
Why it’s dangerous: Derived from the same harmful chemical as brominated vegetable oil, brominated flour is used to decrease baking time and reduce costs. Only problem is, it’s linked to kidney damage, cancer, and nervous system damage.
Where it’s banned: Europe, Canada, and China.
[h=2]5. Azodicarbonamide: Bleaches flour, plastic, and induces asthma as an added bonus.[/h]
Found in: Breads, frozen dinners, boxed pasta mixes, and packaged baked goods.
Why it’s dangerous: Used to bleach both flour and foamed plastic (yoga mats and the soles of sneakers), azodicarbonamide has been known to induce asthma.
Where it’s banned: Australia, the U.K., and most European countries.
[h=2]6. BHA & BHT: Waxy preservatives linked to cancer and tumors.[/h]
Found in: Cereal, nut mixes, gum, butter, meat, dehydrated potatoes.
Why it’s dangerous: Used to keep food from becoming rancid, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are known to cause cancer in rats. And we’re next!
Where it’s banned: The U.K., Japan, and many other European countries.
[h=2]7. Synthetic growth hormones rBGH and rBST: Harmful to cows and linked to increasing tumor development in humans.[/h]
Found in: Milk and dairy products.
Why it’s dangerous: Growth hormones are bad for cows and people, potentially causing infertility, weakened muscle growth, and a whole array of cancers.
Where it’s banned: Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, and the EU.
[h=2]8. Arsenic: Basically this ish will slowly kill you.[/h]
Found in: Poultry.
Why it’s dangerous: Used in some chicken feed to make meat appear pinker and fresher, arsenic is poison, which will kill you if you ingest enough.
Where it’s banned: The EU.

Pizza rolls are awesome! You are missing one of the greatest things in life. Nothing light a plate full of greasy pizza rolls and a big glass of ice cold milk...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
esp. on weed............. dbl. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Jalapeno krunchers kick ass too.
Edit: course I guess greasy pepperoni chunks and cold milk would probably get you exiled to vegan purgatory or something..
You should be good with the krunchers tho. only potatoes and peanut oil there, with a liberal amount of japapeno powder and an odd assortment of preservatives.
Vegan friendly though I think

Go back to sleep; this thread is just for people who are awake. You're not one of the ones to whom this thread is directed if you don't "get" it. Nothing to see here; move along.

I'd say step up to Captain Crunch, but I guess even these days his credentials aren't holding up.

i still say cap't crunch cuts the roof of your mouth unless you let it soak in the milk until soggy.
buy hey thats why its not called cap't soggy you know.
Yep, people are eating industrial chemicals, preservatives, GMO's, pesticides etc. on a consistent basis and wonder why all these diseases are on the rise. I only eat organic and mostly raw fruits, vegetables, superfoods, cocoa, nuts, seeds. I would still eat sprouted whole grains but gluten (and most if not all grains) are terrible for health and digestion especially, plus cause rapid weight gain.
