You're Eating Foods Banned In Other Countries!

It's pretty strange that food makers are using ingredients banned in other countries, and going so far to reformulate products sold abroad, but selling us the inferior ones. I guess it all comes down to profits, because these companies clearly know these ingredients are not good for us!

My brother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2019 and had a feeding tube put in when he could no longer swallow. The first ingredient was corn syrup. I fought so hard to get him on the organic feed. The insurance dietician treated me like I was stupid saying they have that to all their patients on feed tube. The insurance finally approved one week after he lost his battle to cancer. 😡 Shame on (Nestlé) and other companies for the garbage they sell to feeding tube patients

Very interesting. I am German, and i happened to have Heinz Tomato Ketchup in my fridge. On my label ist says that it is made from 174 g of tomatoes per 100 g ketchup, 50 % less sugar and 50% less salt than regular Heinz ketchup and the ingredients are tomatoes (174 g per 100 g of product, vinegar, sugar, salt , spices. Since we don't have the "serving sizes" on ours , only the kcal etc per 100 g I actually broke it down to the serving size indicated on yours, which is 1 tbsp (17 g), so here goes: Kcal:10,88 fat: 0 g total carb: 2,94 g thereof sugar: 1,87 g protein: 0,238 g salt: 0,153 g Indeed a big difference. Now on the breakfast cereals Germany looses out, we don't have all these sugary things. We have some, but very few (all american expats complain about it), we are more a "Müsli"-country, you can find so many variations of it (Müsli = granola). But mind you, many of them also have too much sugar (for Germany's standards, probably still less than American granola - I assume). But like in the US, also in Germany and probably all of Europe we have grown more and more conscious about the ingredients, flavorings, colorings, sugar etc. I think it's a good thing.

Food Babe has been amazing at getting companies in America to remove harmful chemicals and to expose all of them!

[@BobbyParrish]

yes she has!

[@singmiracles7518]

Had never heard of her. Thank you for the recommendation, @Klimt Kahlo!

[@Ryan_DeWitt]

The food babe is a quack who has been called out many times by scientist for saying extremely inaccurate things. When you point this out to her she immediately bans you instead of trying to defend her untrue statements.

[@johnsondoeboy2772]

@@Ryan_DeWitt Is it out of the realm of possibility that the scientists could be quacks themselves? I mean I've seen COUNTLESS scientists called quacks when going completely left on a mainstream narrative. Even one of my relatives, Jacques Cinq-Mars had to learn this the hard way.

[@chuckgriffith4539]

Well Bobby has once again shown how important it is to read the label...

As always fantastic video filled with fantastic eye opening and important information 👏🏼👏🏼. Thank you very much for doing the work to spread a great message with great information 🙏🏼 much love!

Interestingly, for artificial colors, the opposite happened with Irn-Bru from Scotland. They couldn't export it to the states because of a couple controversial dyes, one of which is "Ponceau 4R." Since 2002 a different formula has been available here, but the drink is still hard to find without ordering it online (or attending the Highland Games here in Portland.)

[@tracycameron2580]

The food coloring is very noticable in children. My son wasn't allowed candy until he was older. The first time he ate red licorice he projectile vomited, then I noticed that when he had a red freezy he became very difficult he was usually a very easy-going Sweet child but when he ate the red freezy he was angry and difficult from that point forward I only let him have the clear freezies and have warned other parents about the red dye. Red dye can be the cause of behavioral issues in children.

[@heatherlw13]

My daughter breaks out in hives if she has Red 40. All the colorings are bad.

Thanks for raising this important issue Bobby. I moved back to the UK last year after 15 years in Chicago (ironically in Lakeview - on Oakdale - so I get homesick for Chicago & TJs whenever I see your older videos!) I downloaded your app when I lived there, so it shocked me how many things you warn about, we just don’t have in the UK. For example, when I moved back to Oxford, I kept looking for grass-fed/finished meat - only to realise almost all meat over here is grass-fed, which is why it’s not written on the labels. It’s the default. Same with chlorinated chicken and GMO. We literally don’t allow them here. I still have to look out for many dodgy ‘natural flavourings’, oils & preservatives, so your app is open constantly - but it’s sad to know the FDA isn’t protecting its own citizens. Glad to know you are, though... :)

[@deniseherud]

This channel was key in helping me prep to get through the ‘world situation ver 1.0’ -now I keep buying those kinds of safe products, which has been easy to do since during world situation ver 2.0, people are buying all the junky foods-so all the healthy ones are still in stores. Ty for all u do guys! Going to check out Thrive Market now.

[@stanthompson9379]

Now I finally understand. Growing up in Germany Fanta was my absolute favorite drink in the world then I moved to the states and at first I didn’t even recognize the Fanta I wondered why the Fanta in Europe was a light yellow color but here it’s this dark orange color and it tastes horrible here compared to the European version so now I know it’s because the European one had natural color hence why it was so light and here it has artificial color hence why it’s so dark and the other huge difference obviously that I did know about before is that over there it’s made with sugar here it’s made with high fructose corn syrup. On the very rare occasion I drink soda these days it’s only if it’s the pepsi made with “real sugar” it’s so sad that here it has to be a selling point to say it’s made with “real sugar”. So the end result of the American Fanta being so much more synthetic is that it tastes nowhere near as good as its European counterpart which is nowhere near as synthetic.

I was raised in Germany, when I came to the US i had stomach problems every time I ate, I thought it was anxiety trying to get used to another country, I learn fast what it was, I am always skeptical but I do read labels, the FDA sucks 😞

[@witchinthenorth4735]

I am so happy I found your channel. Now I actually read ingredients before I buy anything. Thank you for keeping us informed. I share your videos with my friends all the time as well. I think people need to make some lifestyle changes ASAP especially the American consumer.

[@reaheslick6923]

I'm from the UK but now live in France, when I visited the USA I thought things tasted weird but I couldn't put my finger on it, now I know why. Great video let's hope the powers that be might make the same changes in the USA that they have here. They already know how to do it

Well done! Lots of great info here. Keep bringing it to us...you are saving lives!

[@anesarivera1174]

Thank you! Thank you! Finally someone did a video on this. Could you do another video for other foods that seem healthy but contain those harmful ingredients? A lot of the things are junk foods, and I think most people who follow/subscribe to your channel probably don’t eat/drink that. Keep up the great work!!! I really appreciate your efforts in educating and warning us about the constant food traps we have to maneuver and try staying ahead of the new ‘IT’ harmful ingredient used in our foods. :)

[@leighannchace3120]

Thank you for all the videos! The videos are very helpful and informative. Since 2015, I had my left kidney removed do to cancer. I looked at the labels and had no idea what to look for, but now I do. For the most part I stay away from boxed, canned, frozen foods, sodas and sports drinks. Now I realize I need to check condiments, and personal care products as well.

[@maysanatomy]

I learn so much from your videos. It is so upsetting how all these things are banned elsewhere but still here because they cut costs and that a lot of people don't realize it. After watching this video I noticed one of my work snacks had BHT. The snack I am eaten is commonly given to kids in school. So frustrating

The European motor oil standards are also higher than ours. And they say pasta in Italy is made with healthier flour than pasta we buy here.

Bobby which foods are good for long term storage in long-term food preps? Could you please do a video on that?

If you purchase coke soda just purchase the ones in the glass bottles that come from Mexico and they are still made with sugar and in CA they are easy to find.

In Canada they just mention "Colour" on sports drinks. Another way to hide the ingredients.

Awesome video. We need to spread more awareness to people of what they’re eating and drinking!! The fact that they allow these harmful chemicals in our food is absolutely sickening (literally) thanks for sharing! Always love your videos! ❤️

[@piupau4984]

About 10 years ago in Finland they didn't sell cherry or vanilla coke regularly on the finnish stores. In some stores we had the "american section" of foods that were imported from the USA, with the original ingredients. Once I bought a vanilla coke from the US section and it took me less than 10 minutes to have a really upset stomach after drinking it. I'm sure it was because of those additional colors and flavorings.

I try to educate my parents but they always fall back on the excuse that they are old and live on social security, so they choose cheap "foods". A lot of times I will take my own food to their house if I am staying for a few days. I would pay you to call my dad and educate him on vegetable/canola oil; he doesn't listen to me.
