http://www.buzzfeed.com/ashleyperez/8-foods-we-eat-in-the-us-that-are-banned-in-other-countries
This is just a list of the eight. Each one has a couple of paragraphs explaining it:
1. Artificial food dye: Makes your food pretty and inhibits nerve-cell development.
2. Olestra (or Olean): Lowers calorie counts while causing vitamin depletion and anal leakage. (I haven't seen something with Olestra in a long time.)
3. Brominated vegetable oil: Makes food dye stick to liquid, but also may cause birth defects and major organ damage.
4. Potassium bromate (or bromated flour): Great for impatient bakers, bad for your kidneys and nervous system.
5. Azodicarbonamide: Bleaches flour, plastic, and induces asthma as an added bonus.
6. BHA & BHT: Waxy preservatives linked to cancer and tumors.
7. Synthetic growth hormones rBGH and rBST: Harm cows and can give humans breast, colon, and prostate cancer.
8. Arsenic: Basically this ish will slowly kill you.
:tos:
I AM Telling YOU that the first person who makes an emu joke somewhere in this thread will receive a right good bashing with a folding chair. Don't Do It! :nono:
