Brit Reacts to American Foods That Are Banned In Other Countries

[@reindeer7752]

I've been eating American food for 75 yrs. I've never been overweight, don't have diabetes or high blood pressure or cancer. I did quit drinking soft drinks over 20 yrs. ago and I don't eat candy except for dark chocolate. About every 10 yrs. the experts say a particular food is bad and then completely reverse the advice. I no longer pay attention. I think moderation is the answer and exercise is more important than food.

[@NerdyNanaSimulations]

While there are some things in our food that are not good, like high fructose corn syrup. We do have a law here that requires every single ingredient to be labeled. This is not true in most other countries, which is why our ingredients are so long, while other countries only have to label primary ingredients. Just an FYI, if the flour has multiple grains they can't just say flour they have to list each one. Salmanila outbreaks are unfortunately not uncommon in the US. Then the coke, when it was made with sugar it was better but with high fructose corn syrup as the sweetener it is 100X worse not just for taste but your health as well. If you ever get a chance to drink a coke made with real sugar take it, the difference is amazing. I grew up on the sugar version, much more flavor... less like syrup. Great video!

No joke! Amazing what else you can argue being unfit for consumption and/or dangerous. Not sure if it's true or urban legend but some kids science project argued how dihydrous oxide was deadly and dangerous, therefore should be either regulated or banned. Dihydrous Oxide is a mangling of chemical naming for dihydrogen oxide, AKA H2O, AKA Water

If you read all of the ingredients in Kelloggs cereals at least in the U.S. maybe not other countries. You can find small traces of things like arsic and different concrete types of compounds. Like I said, do your own research on the ingredients lists. Also in regards to grated "paremesan cheese" in the green plastic container. I'm not talking about the fresh stuff. In recent years, there has been testing that found that the primary ingredient in it is actually wood shavings, aka sawdust to use as cheap filler. Supposedly, some companies were ordered to change that after it was found out. However, I'm not sure if there was ever any follow-up to make sure they actually changed it like they were supposed to.

A well-documented European product banned in the US Kinder Egg. The white container is considered a "food additive" because it's covered in chocolate. Instead, there's this "kinder surprise" that has the toy in separate container adjacent to the candy.

[@TheLordTash]

It's not an "additive" so much as inedible objects hidden within food is illegal. It's mainly to stop people from putting something in food that someone might accidentally eat without realizing it's in there. The Kinder Eggs are banned out of sheer technicality, since it does TECHNICALLY hide an inedible object within food. Similar products in the US have since figured out that it's extremely easy to make your product legal under that law just by putting a small hole in the chocolate shell where people can see the plastic underneath. But the actual kinder eggs have such a nasty reputation for being choking hazards (mostly rumor) that the US branch isn't willing to even risk trying to release the normal products here.

I live in the U.S. and I like shopping at Aldi's because they have a lot of European-imported food that doesn't have all the crap the U.S. allows in the food. Plus, I won't eat corn unless it's organic because, if it's not organic, it's a GMO and I don't trust it.

[@revgurley]

I tried to find you some Karo syrup and pecans so you could make a pecan pie (you'd have to add eggs), but Karo isn't available. (I think because it's corn syrup, which is highly regulated). Maybe I'll put those in a regular box and send it in the New Year. Pecan pie is yummy all year. There was something else that was a "staple" product in American kitchens, but now I can't remember what it was, and it wasn't available in the UK. By the way, did a 450+ mile drive today. "Over the river and through the woods..." for Christmas is a lot farther away! Can't comment on the exact dye thing, but back in the 1970s, M&Ms were light and dark brown, orange, and yellow. No red, blue, purple. That was because the dyes they wanted to use were banned back then. Pretty sure they found formulation that wasn't toxic, and all the colors showed up. (Just looked it up, FD&C Red #2 was banned for being carcinogenic in the 1970s.) The only time I've had steak tartar was in a restaurant. It's "cooked" with an acid. Still raw, but better. Mixed with other ingredients, it's a nice appetizer. Tuna tartar is also a common seafood restaurant offering (tuna "cooked/acid" with lemon juice) Yes! Coke did have a little of the stuff early on, but it disappeared before the 1930s. I live in the home of Coca-Cola. My uni, Emory, is basically funded by Coke (their founders). If you can find a small can of salted peanuts, get a bottle of Coke, take a swig, then put a few peanuts in the neck of the bottle. Drink/eat away! I honestly don't remember anything about my uni graduation except it was crazy hot outside on the quad, and drinking peanut-neck Coke. A tradition there, maybe at Georgia Tech, too.

[@ladiwilliams9739]

Here's an interesting fact. They say that Mountain Dew has a crap ton of caffeine that causes hyperactivity. But if you read the label both standard Coke and Pepsi have more.

[@katy5467]

What makes any soda, not just coke bad are to things. 1) carbonation stretches your stomach and 2) drinking several a day is the sugar constantly passing through your teeth that causes dental issues. As for the Carmel coloring, I’m not sure what current studies say.

[@TheDustyPeaches]

Most of these studies that ban ingredients are because they are unable to prove that it doesn't cause health issues. Most notably the Skittles dye has no actual evidence that it does cause DNA damage but rather they are unable to prove that it 100% does not cause DNA damage additionally these things about hyperactivity can be explained by the large amount of sugar in the products and in the case of Mountain Dew the large amount of caffeine so much so that Mountain Dew was classified as an energy drink rather than a soft drink however by that logic Coffee should also be more heavily regulated because it causes hyperactivity. The issue with the Bread is very misleading the way they speak about it suggests that the bread utilizes yoga mats in its production however it would be more accurate to say that many yoga mats utilize a food product in production. A more obvious example to understand this misleading statement would be Maple Syrup is made from Maple Tree Sap and has minute amounts of plant based cell structures within it and as a result is "made from trees", Paper is also made from trees utilizing much more wood solids. Making the statement Maple Syrup is made with an ingredient used in toilet paper production not entirely untrue but very disingenuous. Another thing some things used in Europe can easily be said in a way that makes them sound dangerous for example, "Many cakes, Biscuits, and Ice creams contain Vanilla Flavoring AKA Vanillin. Vanillin is a product extracted from crude oil."

[@circedelune]

Yeah this whole video is misleading. Most things they say can cause cancer or the like would have to be consumed in ridiculous quantities to even increase the likelihood of endangering your health by 1%. Of course they don’t say that.

I wonder how many people here are old enough to remember the lead-up to Nutrasweet being the "new" miracle diet sweetener. Prior to aspartame, it was saccharine. In the year leading up to that change, there was at least one article a week in newspapers and on the news about how "saccharine causes cancer"! It was SO obvious that I pointed it out to co-workers and predicted some "new and improved" product. Sure enough, suddenly there are articles and news reports about some scientist who mixed some chemicals and "accidentally" tasted it and realized it was sweeter than real sugar. And, shocker, these chemicals were "all natural". Turns out the studies on saccharine were force feeding insane amounts of the stuff to rats. Of course it caused health issues! Now go look at the side effects of aspartame consumption. The stuff gives me an immediate headache and nausea. I'd rather have saccharine. At least I could tolerate that.

Tartrazine, also known as FD&C yellow #5, is a synthetic azo dye that is lemon yellow in color. It is water soluble and is derived from coal tar. Tartrazine is used in many foods, cosmetics, and medications. Red dye 40 is a synthetic food dye made from petroleum. Research has shown that it is linked to certain ADHD symptoms, such as hyperactivity, and may also cause other neurobehavioral effects in children. I wonder why these are the dyes they discuss. You spent time on that, well worded.... rather conspiratorial! Do research, or if you don't accept actual facts (or are actually an oil lobbyist, lol), tell me where I can locate this knowledge as to why these are not bad for you to consume.

I personally get sick a lot in the US, but can basically eat all kinds of foods outside of our nation. The first thing that always happens when I get back to the US is I get sick with my first meal no matter what it is. Also, the USDA organic label is basically a bought and paid for lie.

The US has rules that you have to list all components of all ingredients. For instance, in the UK a list of ingredients might include enriched flour.

It has a lot of sugar, a lot of additives, and will last on the shelf for literally months. If I bake bread here at home we get maybe 4 days before it molds, because of the lack of shelf-stabilizing additives. OTOH, chance of major digestive upset is much lower with the homemade. Yup, stopped eating commercial pork years before I stopped eating it all together (the family is processing 2 pigs this weekend, small farm raised, spoiled happy piggies, no drugs).

Cocs cola syrup over ice is a stomache cure. That's how it became a soda

[@dawnscheerhoorn9583]

No stop! I love skittles 😢

[@iamorangehat]

Enjoyed this.

The red food dye can cause hyperactivity. It's an allergy. The son of a friend of mine was allergic to red food dye.

L3WG you are so right everything will kill you. So eat and be merry. Love From Michigan and again it's an unusual warm Evening temp is 40 degrees.

The Us has occasional outbreaks of salmonella tbh lol we definitely hear about them here. Also I’ve been watching a new KZbin channel of a guy from the uk who moved to FL and he said our coke doesn’t taste the same as in the UK so be ready for disappointment 😂

[@Nitehawke]

I saw an ad for Coke one day. Four people sitting around a board game drinking bottles marked "Coke" that looked like lightly colored water, lol. I thought "must be European Coke".

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

The coke in a lot of different countries tastes different because they use actual sugar in them instead of the fructose/sucrose/corn syrup junk they put in everything here.

[@deidres100]

In the Original 1900's Coca Cola Yes. But It doesn't in there any more

[@vladyvhv9579]

Best steak is well-done. No pink.

[@thebug410]

it was funny to see you react to steak tartar lol. rich people are weird

[@boomhaur626]

Most of these "studies" are performed by people who want to reduce or outright ban sugary snacks and highly caffinated drinks because they feel they know better than you, and very few are at all conclusive. as far as raw meat I personally love the stuff as much as i like sushi. and yes coke used to have cocaine in it.

[@TjMurby-wp9it]

You said that like it changes the fact these chemicals are highly toxic. So smallbrained🤡💀🤣🤣🤣

[@matthewlingelbach4761]

Sugar , Caffeine, Cocaine; What's it matter which drug you choose? ohhhh one yeah only one is supposedly bad for you and.... I wonder why?

[@KamCA8301]

Not exactly. Artificial/added sugar is legitimately horrible for you and can practically be considered as a drug and there been plenty of conclusive tests to prove this.

[@matthewlingelbach4761]

@KamCA8301 Although absolutely correct. It is easier to state that anything in large enough quantities is toxic to us. Oxygen is great and all. See what happens when you get too much of it, though.

[@robertlowther6979]

Anything and everything is bad for you if you overindulge, but the human body is resilient towards everything they mentioned in this video. Like Skittles used to be my favorite candy for years, I just outgrew the taste as I got older, but I used to eat at least 2 bags a day. The video just highlights what I call helicopter politics, it's the same principle of helicopter parents just on a national scale.

[@Maggiemoo88487]

4:05 well gosh it makes me not want to eat bread 😂

[@karenwilson4322]

I've been drinking Mtn. Dew all my life. It's my go to like you and Coke. So good but lots of caffeine and yes, Coke's original recipe did include cocaine

[@stanleyarmstrong2898]

The original Coca Cola has been changed from the lees of cocaine to a good shot of caffiene since about 1898.

[@ProsperingWoman]

There hasn't been any coca leaves in the manufacture of coca-cola for 100+ years....

[@petepuchalski3253]

Everything we eat is a crapshoot

[@MicahMann]

My ex BF was a Mt Dew drinker and he was annoying AF. 😂😂😂

[@bevinboulder5039]

Fun fact: Scotland is the only country in the world where Coke is sold but it is not the best selling beverage. Scots favorite soft drink is Irn Bru. God only knows why. I've tried it and it's awful.

[@trashall23]

Well they like haggis, so....

[@Gizmo42Rodeo]

Mountain Dew is also different in Canada than it is in the US. Canada considers Mountain Dew to be a clear soda and by law all clear sodas there must be c affine free.

[@barbparknavy9119]

Our everyday pre-sliced sandwich bread and regular hotdog & hamburger buns are a little freakish in that they have a ridiculous shelf life and seem to never go bad. It doesn't form mold and stays soft for extended periods. You get a nice artisan loaf and it'll start forming mold in 3 days...but I forgot about hot dog buns for 3 months and there was no discernable change in them from the day I got them, which can't be right!

[@catherinesearles1194]

Believe me when i say you can make one helluva sandwich on french or Italian bread

[@penniea9098]

Mountain Dew has a lot of caffeine in it

[@BionicDance]

I prefer Pepsi.

[@stevencampbell1603]

I make freeze dried skittles, sooooo goood
