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.
