American is gradually waking from the truth that many of the foods being sold in the US are substandard to the identical foods being sold in other countries. In fact, a lot of the foods that you are eating are BANNED in other nations.
Looking at the total overall health of Americans, which is lower as compared to other industrialized nations, you just can’t help think foods, such as ones mentioned below, may have a role in our increasing disease rates.
Here are 8 banned foods that are permitted in the U.S.
1. Ingredients: Coloring agents (yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1 and blue 2)
Found in:
Cheese, cake, sports drinks, candy, medicines, macaroni and cheese, pet foods and soda.
Why the US permits it?
According to recent studies that whenever foods are made and left with their natural colors which are frequently beige-like rather than coloring them with chemical agents, people may thought that they tasted bland even if the recipe was not changed. This can explain as to why the use of coloring agents, with popular ones being yellow 5, yellow 6 and red 40, have increased five times since 1955.
Health risks:
Previously, food coloring agents are derived from natural sources, like turmeric and saffron. Nowadays, a lot of the artificial colorings are created from coal tar, which is also being utilized to seal-coat products in preserving and protecting the shine of industrial floorings. It can also be found in head lice shampoos in killing the little bugs.
