When you grab a snack off the shelf the last thing you’re thinking is that it’s going to hurt you. Yet 6 out of every 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease, and The United States has one of the highest rates of cancer compared to other developed nations. While factors like obesity, and low activity levels, definitely play into this, there’s no doubt that a lot of the foods that are sold and consumed in America are not good for our health. Although we have more food abundance than almost any other country in the world and even though our stores are lined with a seemingly endless variety of colorful, flavorful, foods and snacks, the overall health of the average American man and woman has continued to decline. Coincidentally many foods that sit on our shelves here in America are prohibited in other countries due to the use of ingredients deemed unsafe for human consumption. Recently RFK jr has shined a spotlight on the Food and Drug Administration and has vowed to crack down on foods and ingredients that he blames for much of the unhealthy state of Americans, including ultra-processed foods and food additives. So today I want to go over some foods, snacks, and ingredients that you may want to avoid or at least limit because they are already banned in many other countries.
So first we have Swiss Rolls which contain certain ingredients that are banned in other countries but are in a ton of other American foods that I’m about to list off for you. Many of which you’re probably eating because you just can’t get away from these ingredients. I’m talking about synthetic food dies. Little debbie swiss rolls are banned in countries like Austria and norway due to their use of dyes, including Yellow #5, also known as Tartrazine and Red #40 also known as Allura Red. These dyes have been associated with hyperactivity in children and potential carcinogenic risks. European countries try to stay away from these synthetic dies and instead use natural coloring agents. On the other hand in the US these additives are allowed while requiring a disclaimer for potential adverse effects. The part that makes this worse is that tartrazine or yellow #5 is used in many other products other than just Swiss rolls. Almost any snack or packaged product that has a bright yellow or orange tint uses yellow #5. This includes Doritos, Cheetos, cheddar potato chips, Cheez-Its, yellow-colored sodas, many candies like M&M’s, and even macaroni and cheese mix. (1)
These foods are obviously heavily processed so it may not be that surprising to find them on this list but one food group that you’re probably not expecting on this list is U.S. Meats and Dairy Products. That’s right other countries don’t want products that come from our factory farming methods. American meat and dairy products face bans in the EU and other countries due to the widespread use of growth hormones and antibiotics. Hormones such as rBGH are used in the U.S. to increase milk production in cows. However, in Europe, these hormones are banned due to concerns about their potential links to cancer and other serious health issues. Not only are these other countries fearful of chronic health risks but they are also worried about the overuse of antibiotics in livestock leading to antibiotic resistance. If other countries have banned U.S. meat and dairy imports it’s definitely worth it to try to go for pasture-raised and grass-fed sources of meat and dairy which usually prominently display that they avoid the use of antibiotics and hormones right on the package.
Next is Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew is one of America’s most popular sodas. And while this green-looking soda might taste great, it contains bromine which is a chemical also used in flame retardants. These chemicals reduce the flammability of materials, such as plastics, fabrics, and furniture. For example, brominated flame retardants also known as bfrs are added to electronics or household items to prevent fires from starting or spreading. While they serve an important safety purpose, chemicals like bromine have been linked to health risks such as hormonal disruptions, neurological issues, and potential damage to internal organs like the thyroid and liver. This is why Bromine is banned across Europe and Japan. Meanwhile, the FDA permits it to be used as a food additive while setting specific limits. Although the amounts used in drinks like Mountain Dew are considered low, cumulative exposure over a long time is a big concern for many regulatory agencies outside of the fda. And bvo is used in many other foods and beverages…
