Hello Dr.rafe, Is there an additive epidemic in the U.S.? Our grocery shelves are riddled with additives that Europe has already banned, restricted, or tightly controlled.
Artificial dyes linked to hyperactivity in kids, preservatives associated with cancer risk, emulsifiers suspected of disrupting the immune system or fertility… the list is long, and exposure levels in the U.S. are dramatically higher than anywhere else.
Take store-bought bread: a typical U.S. loaf contains an average of 6.2 additives, compared to 2.9 in Canada, 2.3 in France, and just 1.3 in Italy 🚩
Our new video breaks down how this regulatory gap formed, and how industry influence on our food regulatory system keeps risky additives on the market.
Watch our full investigation below to understand what's in your food, why it's allowed, and how we as consumers can join forces to hold the industry accountable. |
