I didn't know California is going through a ban with Red Dye 3, but I will say my nephew is literally restricted from it by his Doctors because it affects his seizures.

[@honeysuckle]

Oh man I didn’t even know about red dye 3 until we did this video! Have def heard about red dye 40 more. Terrible!

[@Zetsumeii]

@@honeysuckle Absolutely. Hopefully we can come up with better (and still delicious) alternatives. ♥ Great video.

[@faylinameir]

unpopular opinion but we shouldn't have to dye our food or healthcare products -_- I'd rather have clear stuff anyways

[@KJDogluv]

No it doesn’t

[@amberlindsey7112]

My daughter was allergic to Red 40 when she was younger. She grew out of it luckily. But hers was a serious allergy. Whole body would be hives and she would have to have breathing treatments. I didn't realize how much they put that in things that weren't even something you would think normally. We were on vacation and just wanted to get something quick and easy so we ran to the grocery store to just get some hotdogs. For some reason I checked the ingredients and of course it had Red 40. I was so glad I had checked. The crazy thing is that we got lucky figuring out she was allergic to it too. She had been having this reaction and couldn't find what she could be allergic to. She was only about 9 mo old. Well she had been eating some fruit loops and happened to spit one out and it was sitting on her arm. Next thing you know this huge welt from where it was touching her skin.

[@christinaz.271]

In the EU, we have a lot of American snacks but they are made differently, so that they pass the regulations.

[@KonahaAliana]

Definitely. From an outside view, the stuff that is allowed to be called food in America is shocking! Edit: oh man, that chicken looked absolutely vile! I have never seen chicken meat like that.

[@christinaz.271]

its crazy how vivid the american pez colors are, the eu ones are almost white and only have a hint of the colors🍬

[@vukkulvar9769]

Capsaicin is literally the thing that make food "burning hot spicy" The best remedy against that is cold milk. The sugar, fat, and protein in the milk will help wash away some of the capsaicin. Swish the milk like a moush wash.

[@pony26]

milk isnt actually that great as its actually, on average, 87% water. Believe it or not, key lime pie is the best remedy for heat. Or a mix of drinking a lime simple syrup with honey and then a spoonful of peanut butter.

[@teacozy]

incorrect. the best way to actually neutralize capsaicin is acid. try a squirt of lemon.

[@Scribdoodle]

My dad swears by olive oil. I've tried it a few times when i overestimated my spice tolerance and, idk, maybe we're just fooling ourselves but I think it works?

[@andrewzelitt]

@@ScribdoodleI can see oil making sense since the capsaicin is soluble in oil.

[@marimirallesc]

As someone who is obsessed with the type of Buldak stew and eats one every month, I can say that the best thing to help with the spicy is something acidic like pickles, that’s why most mukbangers have something pickled in their videos.

[@skypuppeteer]

1:57 Part of the reason they likely say it may not cause harm is because we can't do testing on humans, and sometimes rat and mice studies are wrong! Not in that they contain incorrect findings, but that they sometimes are not applicable to humans. It's important to remember still we are two (or three) separate species, and there are differences in our morphology that will create different results in tests. I was in a behavioral and neuro genetics class this past semester, and we were shown an actual example of how these rat/mice studies may not be accurate to humans, as the example we saw the results for humans and mice were complete opposites of each other. (If people have any interest in that study, I can go back through my notes and see if I can find it from there)

[@cheekymeeple5494]

The reliance on rat testing is difficult. Rats are more susceptible to cancers and allergens than the average human or many other species.

[@devilstear1840]

Lol, my country banns everything 😂 we do have very strict food controls, though, for which I'm honestly glad. They also control if companies try to lie with their consumables. Like, when they say their olive oil is extra virgine, they literally test it if it's true. They even control the labels etc. Like, if the company says their olive is from some specific province in Italy, they check the legitimately. I ordered some twinkies to test from amazon before though..lol. But, you can get other products from hostess in special shops that sell stuff from around the world.

[@honeysuckle]

The olive oil story is crazy but I’m so glad there are checks!!

[@figz6]

that is what america (& everywhere tbh) should do

most states have already banned hormone pumped food, so don't get deceived by just the label "no hormones added" and look at the other things labeled. Food education is just as important to financial education, everyone take care of yourselves as must as you can! :)

[@leoirias3506]

For real, it literally just got banned for being too spicy

[@cheekymeeple5494]

A little known fact for US chicken consumers. Chicken raised and sold are not allowed to be on hormones. As is with any US farmed poultry. No hormones is a marketing thing. They were banned being used in to 50's. Articles and even in the USDA FAQ this information is seen.

[@ghostgirl6970]

My boss's son was having severe psychological issues and eventually out of desperation they cutout red dye after his wife read an article of an experiment in I think Australia. His issues went away almost completely. That stuff is not good.

[@coffeegirl18]

My issue is that they won't replace Red Dye 3 with beet extract or annatto and will replace it with Carmine or cochineal extract (those are cheaper). That's crushed up bugs that live on the agave plant (the same one for agave sweeteners and tequila). I have an epi-pen for it because the allergy is that severe to it and wasp stings.

[@ammysasmr8159]

And when you find a brand that does use beet and annatto, it's some waspy organic extra expensive health food brand that charges 20 dollars for a package of 6 cookies.

[@TabbyWithMittens]

Will they do it for food? I know they use to crush beetles for makeup but I think many don’t do that anymore (at least newer ones).

[@saoliath5000]

capsaicin isnt that much of an issue. you are a lot more likely to just have some stomach issues at worse rather than any sort of identifiable nuerotoxic effects.

[@ayamasakya4196]

[@pedrohenriqueviadanna8918]

About the chicken: it is added a lot of saline water in the cheaper one that you bought, that’s why have that looks. It is not because of the chlorine wash.

[@BeckGho]

It can also be from the machine that cut it from the ribs. Usually saline water is used with frozen bagged chicken.

[@MsShinchanlover]

Kraft stated changing their formula years ago since buying yellow 5 and yellow 6 got more expensive. Kraft is trying to get rid of food dye from their products. The only reason i know this is my sister is allergic to all these dyes. She gets an anaphylactic reaction

[@eirrenia]

The BHT being banned doesn’t surprise me. I’ve always felt a bit sick after eating anything with it.

[@omiai]

so i live in scotland, irn bru is amazing, one of my favourite drinks. my dad used to clean carpets for a living and he hated having to do irn bru stains because they were the hardest to get out. once they dry in, there's so little chance of getting it out XD

[@honeysuckle]

Oh no!!!!

[@fylimar]

I get everything on that list, but the hot noodles with Capsaicin. I mean, they warn you, that they are hot. By that logic, every spicy food should be banned and that would be pretty sad. I had the three times hot noodles once, they had a package with powder and that sauce, which was nearly black. I used all of the powder (it was mostly flavor and not very hot) and just a third of that sauce package and that was pretty spicy, but ok. I gave the rest to a colleague, who loves really spicy food.

[@Tara_Masika]

I'm in the UK. I remember always wanting to try Twinkies. Until I read the ingredients. GMO preservatives, syrups, tallow and bioengineered oils. How they even make it to the shelves as food is beyond me. If you don't know what the ingredients are, DONT eat it!! ❤

[@Poofwaah]

Try South african iron brew. Yum!

[@ranmisael]

this is a great idea of a video. keeep them coming

[@_GhostTea]

There are so many American products banned in Canada due to health and safety concerns. It's funny how we're neighbours but can vary so widely. I once went to a grocery store here in Canada and over the poultry section they had a sign painted which said something like "unlike American chickens, Canadian chickens never have growth hormones added to their feed!". Apparently growth hormones for meat, poultry and dairy are almost entirely banned here save for a few exceptions for cows.

[@Fabdanc]

The x2 spicy is so good. Sometimes, I save up the sauce packets to use more 🤣

[@taykudo]

I've also learned that some states are allowing lab grown chicken. So when checking the chicken look for "Hatched" labeled somewhere on the package

[@Moon_Presence]

This makes no sense, because some states are banning vegan meats they make in labs.

[@cicilyly6027]

Omg I love all the foods you shown here and ate most of them! Now I’m reconsidering buying them from now on!

dude capsaicin just makes it spicy, it does not actually kill anyone as long as you are not allergic to it or hypersensitive to spice. It's not harmful.

[@theuncalledfor]

Why do they need so much time to reformulate some basic food dyes? Just replace them with non-banned alternative dyes. When the dye is even needed in the first place.

[@gracetheday]

7:16 the way you said that so funny

[@WhiteSheepwillbeBlac]

Banning buldak for containing capsaicin is a bit weird to me. What might be usefull is a warning that it might be too spicy or can cause nausea if not used to spicy foods. I tried to find capsicin concentration compaired with chilli peppers but could find it (if someone soes please share). It is true that capsaicin is a "neurotoxin" because it can reversibly inhibit pain receptors. reversibly means they need a while but they get their full function back. Capsaicin is used to numb neuropathic pain (pain caused by nerve damadge) but it needs quite a few applications and the pain comes back after one to a few months. So what I am trying to say is I doubt that these noodles are more dangerous then a very hot pepper.

[@ranellexposed]

BHA and BHT are in a fair few dry breakfast cereals too 🥣

[@heyionna]

I'm so glad that they're banning those garbage chemicals. No wonder I have a million health issues - I grew up on that crap. Now I'm disabled & I cook everything from scratch...but I may be too far gone.

[@tiredishere]

Hi! Canadian here! You can find Irn Bru here, but it's imported and a bit more expensive than your typical bottle or can of fizzy drinks.

[@coffeegirl18]

I was curious about that. I was planning on trying some different drinks for a video.

[@ayamasakya4196]

Any import products are more expensive.

[@kristidaemon4709]

I think the point of boxed mac and cheese is that you don't need to do any extra steps, if you are in a rush or too tired. Can do a regular mac and cheese otherwise :) thank you for spreading awareness of those toxic dyes! (and other ingredients). We eat Spicy noodles, but only 1 - spicy, 2 spicy would be too hot for me.

Water spreads capsasin so you feel more hot when you dring water instead dring cold milk (it dosent make the spicy dissapear but it helps)

[@LovingGodLovingOthers]

I'm sitting here with my Dr. Pepper and had to check the ingredients, no BVO in it thank goodness. I'll never understand Stovetop Stuffing, I won't eat it again after becoming violently ill after the only time I tried it. My Son was born with migraines but we didn't get an official diagnosis until he was 4. I had to be a wise shopper when buying ingredients to make our meals. Of course, his grandparents would give him food he was supposed to avoid which caused some friction between the in-laws and myself. Now he's an adult and he knows what to avoid but he still makes poor food choices.

[@honeysuckle]

That’s good news!! Maybe they’re starting to phase it out! So sorry for your loss hear about your son. It’s so concerning and sad what is in our food these days!

I love most of these foods (some I haven’t heard of though)
