Some foods commonly consumed in the US contain ingredients that are banned in other countries. The European Union has banned artificial colors like yellow 5, yellow 6, and red 40 due to potential health risks, especially for children. GMOs are allowed in the US but not in most of Europe. Trans fats found in products like Ritz crackers and Pillsbury biscuits are banned in several European countries. BHT, a chemical found in wheat thins and frosted flakes, is banned in the UK, Japan, and parts of Europe. The FDA has strict guidelines and regularly reviews food additives. It is recommended to choose foods that are closer to their natural state and consider whether they come from a farm or a factory.

I'm getting groceries for our trip to Europe. Check out the color of Fanta here—it's quite different from the bright orange we see in the U.S. That's because they can't use artificial colors or dyes; this version is made with 100% orange juice. No chemicals mean you can enjoy it without worrying about weight gain. It's a stark contrast to American food, which often contains additives.

Texas should ban Kellogg and similar companies from public institutions due to their sale of less safe cereal versions in the U.S. compared to other countries. Kellogg uses artificial dyes and preservatives in the U.S. for higher profits, despite having safer options. Over 450,000 signatures have been collected for a petition urging Kellogg to provide safer products. Kellogg refused to engage, claiming American children prefer the brighter colors. Recently, California passed a bill banning six artificial food dyes in public schools, including Froot Loops. Texas should take similar action to improve public health. There is an opportunity for Texas to lead in removing harmful ingredients from food and reversing this trend.

The speaker met with major food processors and producers and addressed food dyes, claiming they are not used in other countries and are associated with diseases like cancer, behavioral issues, and neurological problems like ADHD. The speaker stated that many companies produce the same products with vegetable dyes in Canada, Mexico, and Europe. The speaker asked the companies to make the same products for the US market. According to the speaker, the CEO of Pepsi, which owns Doritos, said consumers like Doritos to be very red, and they have not yet found a vegetable dye that matches, but they are working on it. The speaker gave the companies two years to remove the dyes. The speaker also met with Tyson's Foods, who said they are down to one dye, a caramel used in some meat products, and are working on removing it quickly.

Americans are dying younger than people in comparable countries, a trend that started in the 1990s with a rise in chronic diseases. A major cause is our diet, where harmful substances are government-approved and end up in our food. Take yellow dye number five, or tartrazine, found in many foods, including those marketed to children as healthy choices. Originally derived from toxic coal tar, it's now made from petroleum and linked to tumors, asthma, and neurological issues. While other countries restrict it, the U.S. allows it in everything from snacks to vitamins. Removing such chemicals would lead to immediate health benefits: fewer sick days, better focus, less anxiety, and longer lives. While some progress has been made, with eight chemical additives banned in the past sixteen years, more needs to be done to stop the poisoning of American children and make America healthy again.

The speaker says they want dyes removed from food, noting that products like Froot Loops contain dyes in the US but not in Canada or Europe. They are launching a review of Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) standards, which were adopted in 1958 to avoid testing common foods like flour, dairy, and eggs. The speaker claims industry took advantage of GRAS to add chemicals to food without review, resulting in 10,000 ingredients in US food compared to 400 in Europe. They state the US has the worst chronic disease burden globally. The plan is to eliminate GRAS standards for new products, review old ingredients for safety, and encourage companies to remove harmful ingredients.

I'm in a store in Sweden, where food regulations are strict. I found a section with American products, including Airheads. On the back of the packaging, there are warning labels indicating that it contains a substance that can negatively affect a child's behavior and concentration. This highlights the differences in food labeling between the U.S. and Europe.

In the US, Skittles contain 11 ingredients, including harmful substances like dimethylpolysiloxane and artificial dyes, while the UK version has only 3 ingredients and optional salt. The US version includes 10 artificial dyes and titanium dioxide, banned in Europe for its potential DNA damage and links to cancer. Gatorade in the US uses red 40 and caramel color, whereas Germany opts for natural colors from carrots and sweet potatoes. Doritos in the US contain multiple artificial dyes and MSG, while the UK version does not. General Mills recently launched a dye-free version of Trix in Australia, highlighting the disparity in food safety standards. This motivates the push for equal treatment of American consumers by food companies.

In the 1980s, there were 700 approved food ingredients in America, compared to the current 10,000. Europe still uses approximately 700 ingredients. The speaker questions why American factories use 10,001 ingredients for American products, while using a different set of ingredients for the same products, such as Froot Loops, sold in Canada. The number of ingredients is presented as one component of a larger issue.

The speaker asks if there's a plan to address food additives from the top down, rather than state by state. The other speaker says one of the first groups they met with after being sworn in was major food processors and producers. The meeting went very well, and the speaker believes these companies see the "writing on the wall." Food dyes are considered the most egregious additives because they aren't used in other countries and are associated with cancers, behavioral issues, and neurological diseases like ADHD. The speaker claims these companies often make the same products with vegetable dyes in Canada, Mexico, and Europe.

On February 14th, President Trump signed the MAHA order to create a commission. The commission has 100 days to put out a report and another 60 days for a list of deliverables to end the problem. A top concern is the 10,000 ingredients in US food, compared to only 400 in Europe, with many US ingredients banned in Europe. The US will get rid of petroleum-based synthetic dyes, switching to vegetable dyes like Canada and Europe. Froot Loops in Canada use vegetable dyes, unlike the chemically dyed US version. Food processors use cheaper, more vibrant chemical dyes in the US because they appeal more to kids, while Canada prohibits them. Softeners are added to US food so people chew less. Because the brain measures chewing to determine fullness, people can eat more without feeling full. These chemicals are designed to make people insatiable. Pesticides and other residues in food are designed to kill plants and animals, and are harmful to humans.

US versions of Skittles, Froot Loops, and M&M's contain high-risk additives not found in their European counterparts. Skittles in the US contain titanium dioxide, which is banned in Europe. Froot Loops in the US contain yellow six lake, red 40, blue one, and butylated hydroxytoluene, which are not in the European version. US M&M's have yellow five lake, yellow six lake, and Red 40 Lake, which the European version does not. The EU has stricter regulations than the US, leading to these ingredient differences. A California bill aims to ban harmful substances, potentially leading companies to reformulate products without ingredients like titanium dioxide and red dye three.

The speaker questions why the American version of Froot Loops contains artificial dyes and BHT, while the Canadian version does not. The Canadian version is made in the US with a different formulation, lacking red 40, yellow five, yellow six, and blue one. The speaker suggests two reasons for this discrepancy. First, natural food colorings are more expensive than artificial dyes derived from petroleum. Second, manufacturers acknowledge that natural food colorings are less bright and therefore less appealing to children.

Is red dye 40 causing ADHD in kids? Maybe. There's been a few studies now that I've come across that are pretty strong that show a connection between this dye that is very controversial, red dye 40, it's in a variety of products and foods, and ADHD and different disorders in kids. It's already been known that allergies and headaches and things like that, that's pretty well established. But now they're even thinking that the ADHD, the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is connected with red dye 40. So I wouldn't let my kids have it if I were you.

The speaker discusses the food industry and its questionable practices, particularly in targeting children with products like Lucky Charms. They highlight the concerning ingredients in Lucky Charms, such as Trisodium Phosphate (TSP), which is a cleaning compound. The speaker also mentions the negative effects of Red 40, including hyperactivity and behavioral changes, and the risks associated with Yellow 5 and 6. They conclude by stating that Yellow 5 should not be allowed in foods, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest.

The US has twice as many toxic chemicals in the same products compared to other high-income countries. For example, US Quaker Oats, Mountain Dew, Heinz ketchup, and Doritos contain ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, yellow 5, brominated vegetable oil, and artificial colors, which are absent in their UK counterparts. The reason for this is that the same shareholders own the food and healthcare industries. Top shareholders of companies like Pepsi and Kellogg's also have major stakes in the healthcare industry. This creates a system where the population is poisoned through food, leading to increased healthcare needs and financial dependence, especially since the US spends the most on healthcare without universal coverage. These same entities also own major media outlets like Sony, Disney, CNN, Comcast, PBS, and Fox, enabling further manipulation of consumer behavior.

The speaker contrasts United States Froot Loops with Canadian Froot Loops, noting that US versions "contain artificial synthetic food dyes. Red 40, Yellow five, Yellow six and Blue one." "All of these food dyes have been linked to behavioral issues in kids, hyperactivity and attention deficit symptoms." Canadian Froot Loops are colored with more natural dyes. Kellogg's makes both products, and "There's no reason that Kellogg's couldn't sell this type of Froot Loops without these artificial synthetic dyes, which are pretty clearly associated with all kinds of behavioral issues and potential allergies in kids with asthma in The United States." They sell us these Froot Loops, the "Hyper Neon Froot Loops" that are "very addictive and very desirable to your kids." The speaker claims this is a driver of sickness in the United States, and concludes, "The solution is simple: eat unprocessed meat, unprocessed plant foods like fruit and vegetables."

Many popular sodas and snacks in America are sweetened with high fructose corn syrup, while the same products in the UK often use real sugar. These products include Coca-Cola, fruit snacks, and ketchup. High fructose corn syrup is used because it is cheaper and sweeter than cane sugar, allowing companies to use less of it. It is also highly addictive, which encourages repeat purchases. High fructose corn syrup and corn syrup affect the brain similarly to drugs or opioids. The speaker advises consumers to read ingredients and avoid high fructose corn syrup.

Americans are dying earlier than people in comparable countries, and chronic diseases are on the rise. A big part of the problem is the U.S. diet, where the government approves poisons in food that end up in every supermarket aisle. For example, the harmful yellow dye tartrazine (Yellow Dye #5), originally made from coal tar, is found in many foods, including those considered healthy, like popcorn, mac and cheese, and even vitamins. Tartrazine is linked to tumors, asthma, developmental delays, neurological damage, ADD/ADHD, hormone disruption, gene damage, anxiety, depression, and intestinal injuries. Other countries restrict or require warning labels for tartrazine. Tartrazine is just one of at least a hundred chemical poisons allowed in children's food. The combined effects of these chemicals have never been studied. Removing these chemicals could lead to immediate health improvements. The government has banned eight chemical additives that cause similar conditions, all under President Trump. The speaker claims that Democrats have allowed these poisons to remain in food, benefiting big food, big ag, and big pharma. The speaker and President Trump plan to stop the mass poisoning of American children and make America healthy again.

Artificial food dyes are debated. Colorants from fruit are used in the Canadian version of a product, which is less bright than the version with artificial dyes. Food companies like Kellogg argue children prefer the brighter, artificially dyed version. The speaker equates this preference to a preference for cocaine over sugar, implying that children's preference does not justify the use of artificial dyes.

A doctor stated that many children on behavioral medications may only be reacting to artificial food dyes, which are ironically present in many of those medications. A two-week dye-free period can reveal a food dye intolerance in emotionally disrupted children. Food dyes are found in obvious and hidden processed foods, restaurant food, theater popcorn, prescription and over-the-counter medications, mouthwash, toothpaste, fluoride treatments, shampoo, conditioner, and lotion. Identifying them requires reading the ingredients list. Any child with emotional disruption should be checked for an artificial food dye intolerance.

The speaker claims the U.S. has 10,000 food ingredients due to the FDA's GRAS standard, which presumes chemicals are safe until proven guilty. Europe, in contrast, has only 400. Kellogg's Froot Loops in the U.S. contain red, blue, and yellow dyes, unlike the version sold in Canada, which uses vegetable dyes. A U.S. McDonald's French fry has 11 ingredients, while the same product in Europe has three. The speaker believes companies are mass poisoning American children due to their influence over regulatory agencies and asserts they are the only one who can stop it.

15 million pounds of artificial food dye are added to food annually, much of it marketed to children. These dyes are linked to behavior problems in kids, including ADHD and autism. One speaker has observed links between dyes and diseases in their kids and patients, such as allergies, inflammatory diseases, and behavior problems. Data suggests food coloring may cause behavioral disorders. The FDA acknowledges red number three as a known carcinogen, yet it is still approved for use. Red number 40, yellow number five, and yellow number six are also important to note.

US Froot Loops contain artificial synthetic food dyes, including Red 40, Yellow five, Yellow six, and Blue one. These dyes have been linked to behavioral issues in kids, such as hyperactivity and attention deficit symptoms. Canadian Froot Loops use more natural dyes. Kellogg's makes both versions, implying they could sell the naturally dyed Froot Loops in the US. The speaker claims the hyper-neon, addictive US Froot Loops contribute to Americans being fat and unhealthy. The speaker suggests eating unprocessed meat and plant foods as a solution. Food companies are allegedly making us sick, but the speaker believes we know how to get healthy.

The attorney general announced an investigation into Kellogg's for advertising their product as healthy while using petroleum crude tar, which requires a warning label in Europe due to concerns that artificial food dyes harm children's brains. There are currently seven million children in the US diagnosed with ADHD. Kellogg's also uses the preservative BHT, which is linked to cancer and endocrine disruption. These ingredients have been removed from Kellogg's products sold in Europe, Canada, Australia, India, and Korea. The demand is for big food companies to serve the healthier versions already produced for other countries. The attorney general in Texas is holding one of the major food companies accountable, with the expectation that many other states will follow suit.
