So Irish spring is banned in Europe because it causes cancer.

Lots of food additives are also banned but used here. Can't mess up the profit margins of corp america. So what if you get sick or die. Companies need those record profits.
Medical field: don’t worry we profit off of all the unhealthy people this will create.. let’s call it a corporate assist.. they make money off of poison soap and we make money off of all the poisoned people.. corporate high five
 
Here’s a list of some of the most problematic ingredients that are banned in other countries but allowed in the US:

  1. Artificial food colorings (Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6)
    Several artificial food colorings that are banned in the EU are still allowed in the US, including Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3, Red 3, Red 40, Yellow 5, and Yellow 6. These are pervasive in the American food system, appearing in many foods including Skittles, Doritos, Pop Tarts, Gatorade, Lucky Charms, Tostitos Queso, Pillsbury Crescent Rolls, and Little Debbie’s snacks. The California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard released a report in 2021 concluding that synthetic food dyes are associated with adverse neurobehavioral outcomes in children. The safety of Yellow No. 5 was last reviewed by the FDA in 1969 and that of Red No. 40 in 1971. Red dye no. 3 is on the list of banned ingredients in California’s bill AB 418.
  2. Brominated vegetable oil (BVO)
    BVO, a chemical that is used as an emulsifier in sports drinks and citrus-flavored drinks such as Sun Drop, is banned in the EU because it contains bromine, the element found in brominated flame retardants, which can build up in the body and potentially lead to memory loss as well as skin and nerve problems, and organ damage. It was approved by the FDA in 1977.
  3. rBGH and rBST
    Recombinant bovine growth hormone and recombinant bovine somatotropin are hormones that are given to cows to increase milk production. Milk in the United States, unless marked otherwise, is treated with either rBST or rBGH, which are artificial hormones that stimulate milk production. rBGH can lead to elevated levels of IFG-1 in milk consumers which has been linked to breast, prostate, and colon cancers. They are banned in the EU but are still legal in the US.
  4. Potassium bromate
    Potassium bromate is a food additive that is used to strengthen dough and improve its elasticity. The chemical is also linked to cancer, nervous system damage, and kidney damage. It is banned in the EU but is still legal in the US. This ingredient is on the list of proposed banned ingredients in California’s bill AB 418.
  5. Potassium Iodate
    Potassium Iodate is often used as a dough strengthener. A potential carcinogen, The World Health Organization has warned against the use of Potassium Iodate in flour since 1965.
  6. BHA and BHT
    Butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene are antioxidants that are added to food to prevent spoilage. In 2011, The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services stated that BHA “is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” Suspected to be carcinogens, they are banned in the EU but are still legal in the US. Common foods like Frosted Flakes, Stove Top Stuffing, Honey Bunches of Oats, Wheat Thins, Farmer John Breakfast Sausage Links, and Rice Krispies contain these.
  7. Azodicarbonamide (ADA)
    A chemical used as a dough conditioner in breads, rolls, and other baked goods. Fun fact, it’s also used to make yoga mats.The World Health Organization reported that the chemical may cause asthma and other respiratory issues. It is banned in the EU but is still legal in the US.
  8. BPA
    Bisphenol A, a chemical used in plastic containers and can linings, is banned in the EU for use in baby bottles and sippy cups but is still legal in the US
  9. Arsenic
    Inorganic arsenic, a toxic substance that can contaminate rice and other foods, is allowed at higher levels in the US than in the EU.
  10. Carrageenan
    A thickening and stabilizing agent derived from seaweed and can have a negative effect on the human digestive system. It is banned in baby formula and organic foods in the EU but is still legal in the US. It is in popular foods like Drumsticks, Dannon Yogurt, and Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream.
  11. Olestra
    It’s an additive usually found in diet versions of chips and fries. It has been linked to gastrointestinal disease. It is banned in Canada and the EU, but still allowed in the US.
  12. Titanium Dioxide
    On the list of proposed banned ingredients in California’s bill AB 418, this additive is used for coloring in candies such as skittles and starburst as well as soups, spreads, and other foods. This substance has been shown to be genotoxic, which means it can cause DNA damage, leading to cancer and other health problems. The European Food and Safety Administration released a statement in 2021 stating that it no longer considered titanium dioxide safe when used as a food additive.
  13. Propylparaben
    Another ingredient on the list of proposed banned ingredients in California’s bill AB 418, propylparaben is commonly used as a preservative in many foods including trail mix, baked goods, tortillas, and sausages. Research has shown that exposure to propylparaben may be linked to breast cancer. In 2006, the EU banned propylparaben in the use of food and in 2015, banned it in cosmetic products. It is still allowed in the US.
 
People often get so lost in discussing the American Dream that they completely overlook.....
Medical field: don’t worry we profit off of all the unhealthy people this will create.. let’s call it a corporate assist.. they make money off of poison soap and we make money off of all the poisoned people.. corporate high five
the American reality.
 
The tail is wagging the dog and we placed the Supreme tail in charge for 4 years......

America is supposed to be run "by the people for the people" and use corporations as a means to an end...... now we're run by corporations for corporations and they use people by any means necessary......

Just disgusting

Thanks for this!
 
The red dye no.3 list is messed up most of us grew up on this knowing they were giving us cancerous food as kids.


Man there's so much shit that we've let slide and it's like wheres the line?

If it were only 1 or 2 problematic ingredients in a handful of products......maybe

But that shit is in so many things and then they're compounded in numerous items together......


Why does 1 bar of soap have 6 problematic ingredients....?

And then the same ingredients are also in our food?!!

Thanks for this educational link.

We all need a reminder of what being put in our foods and soap that we shouldn't be buying nor eating.
 
All im eating is Ice from now on
Contaminated ice can contain bacteria, chemicals, or other substances that can make people sick. It can be caused by poor handling, storage, or cleaning practices.



Causes of contamination
  • Contaminated water: The water used to make ice can contain microorganisms.
  • Poor handling: Food handlers can contaminate ice with their bare hands.

  • Dirty utensils: Utensils used to scoop or portion ice can introduce contaminants.

  • Airborne particles: Dust, dirt, and other particles can contaminate ice.
  • Cleaning chemicals: Chemicals used to clean ice machines or storage containers can contaminate ice
 
I switched from Irish Spring to Ivory Body Wash because it doesn't contain banned or suspect ingredients. But I did have some Irish Spring left over so I check the ingredients and low and behold Green 3 is not listed, but Blue 1 is, so the near full bottle of the shit I had got flushed. :rolleyes:
