Shocking list of US foods that are BANNED in other countries for containing dangerous chemicals
If you enjoy snacks and drinks like Mtn Dew, Chex Mix, Hungry Man frozen dinners, or roughly 80 percent of all the packaged foods sold in your average, American grocery store, you may want to sit down before reading this.
Many of the chemicals found in America's most common foods are considered to be so unhealthy that they're actually ILLEGAL in other countries.
A new book on nutrition first highlighted by BuzzFeed lists six food additives that are found in a wide range of popular groceries sanctioned by the Food and Drug Administration, but foreign governments have determined to be too dangerous to allow their citizens to consume.
One of the most common 'Bad Boys' is different variations of food coloring, which actually is made from petroleum and is found in everyday items like soda, sports drinks, mac and cheese, cake, candy and several other common, American products.
The chemicals used to make these different dyes have proven to cause various different cancers and can even potentially mutate healthy DNA.
European countries like Norway, Finland, France and Austria all have banned at least one variation of petroleum containing food coloring. is Olestra, which essentially is a fat substitute found in products that traditionally have actual fat.
For example, low fat potato chips like Ruffles Lite, Lays Wow and Pringles fat free chips all contain Olestra which is shown to cause the depletion of fat soluble vitamins. Different brands of fat free ice cream and mayonnaise at one time also contain the chemical.
Olestra has been banned in several countries, including the United Kingdom and Canada.
In 2003, the FDA lifted a requirement forcing companies that use Olestra in their products to include a label warning consumers that the food their eating could cause 'cramps and diarrhea,' despite the fact that the agency received more than 20,000 reports of gastrointestinal complaints among olestra eaters.
Other products made from bromine: chemicals used to keep carpets from catching on fire and for disinfecting swimming pools.
Other food products made from brominated vegetable oil include New York brand flatbreads, bagel chips, Baja Burrito wraps and other bread products.
Of brominated vegetable oil, the FDA says it is approved 'for flavoring oils used in fruit flavored beverages, for which any applicable standards of identity do not preclude such use, in an amount not to exceed 15 parts per million in the finished beverage.'
Then there's things like Hungry Man frozen dinners, which will fill you up with azodicarbonamide, a chemical used make things like bleach and rubber yoga mats.
Most frozen potato and bread products like different varieties of McCain brand french fries contain the chemical, as well as several store brand bread products. and most other European countries. If you were to use it as a food ingredient in Singapore, you could face up to 15 years in prison and a $500,000 fine.
According to the FDA, Azodicarbonamide is 'approved to be a bleaching agent in cereal flour' and is 'permitted for direct replica Van Cleef & Arpels wedding ring addition to food for human consumption.'
The final chemicals on the list butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are found in everyday products like Post, Kellogs and Quaker brand cereals, as well as Diamond Nuts, Chex Mix and gum brands like Wrigley's, Trident, Bazooka and Bubble Yum.
Both BHA and BHT are waxy solids made from petroleum and are known to cause cancer in rats. It's banned in Japan, England and several other European countries.

The 1950 Senate campaign of Richard Nixon against Helen Douglas reached an unequaled low
The California campaign for governor has dredged from political memory the infamous Senate race of 1950 between Richard M. Nixon and Helen Gahagan Douglas. Former San Francisco Mayor Dianne Feinstein has compared a television ad aired on van cleef and arpels jewelry replica behalf of her opponent in the Democratic primary, Atty. Gen. John Van de Kamp, to the smears against Douglas. Nixon's charges against Douglas purposely strayed toward character assassination. He questioned her loyalty, her "communist sympathies," her Jewish husband's loyalty and her votes in Congress, which were printed in the famous "pink sheet" that matched Douglas' Van Cleef & Arpels Replica Jewelry "yes" votes with those of radical New York Rep. Vito Marcantonio.
Nixon's campaign strategist, Murray Chotiner, explained his campaign philosophy this way: "The purpose of an election is not to defeat your opponent, but to destroy him."
In those frigid days of the Cold War, Nixon not only impugned Douglas' loyalty, but called her the Pink Lady, Van Cleef & Arpels gold diamond pendant replica "Pink right down to her underwear." Press editorials dubbed Douglas "the darling of the Hollywood Parlour Pinks and Reds."
Early versions of Nixon's "dirty tricks" habits were sprinkled throughout the campaign. When Douglas appeared on the USC campus, a hay wagon full of initiates in the Skull and Dagger fraternity sprayed her with seltzer water and doused her with hay. Members of this fraternity turned up later as prominent Watergate characters Donald Segretti, Gordon C. Strachan, Dwight Chapin and Herbert W. Kalmbach.
The infant dirty tricks campaign against Douglas escalated, with Nixon surrogates doing most of the work. Smith toured Los Angeles radio stations exhorting voters to reject this woman "who sleeps with a Jew."
A telephone campaign followed. When a voter answered the phone an unidentified voice would say, "Did you know that Helen Gahagan Douglas is married to a man whose real name is Hesselberg?" Douglas' husband, actor Melvyn Douglas, was the Hesselberg in question, having taken a new last name for his career.
In the final weeks of the campaign an estimated 500,000 calls were placed. Promises to those who answered included "PRIZES GALORE!!!! Electric Clocks, Silex coffeemakers . . . General Electric automatic toastes . . . etc." All voters had to do was pick up the phone at the right time. However, when the phones did ring, there were no prizes, just anonymous callers who would say, "Did you know Helen Gahagan Douglas was a Communist?" and hang up.
Nixon denied asking for any such help and refused responsibility for the tricks.
Reeling from the attacks, Douglas said that she felt she "was standing in the path of tanks." She remembered the final days of the race: "The worst moment, a sight I couldn't shake, was when children picked up rocks and threw them at my car, at me."
Returning to the present, Feinstein's charge stems from a Van de Kamp commercial holding the San Francisco mayor accountable for shortfalls in the city budget and in police and fire protection.
So for Feinstein to suggest that Van de Kamp's TV commercials are reminiscent of Nixon's campaign against Douglas is at best an error in judgment. A darker interpretation would be that she is attempting to tar her opponent with "guilt by association," a favored Nixon tactic.

My American friend James and I were watching soccer at a restaurant in Queens, but I couldn't stop reading a story about Ratko Mladic's trial at the Hague. There were two pictures with the story: One showed him smiling as he listened to his indictment at a pretrial hearing, and another of a mass grave he created.
"What's that?" James asked.
I wanted to tell James how personal this was. "It's the modern day Nuremberg trial," I said, wishing I could explain better.
I grew up in Bosnia, and fled to America in 1993, at the age of 13, after my family was exiled. A 31 year old survivor of the war, I am one of the 5,000 Bosnians living in Astoria, Queens. Not long ago, I went back to visit my hometown for the first time since we fled. Vacation for other guys my age means partying, or hanging out with old friends. I spent two weeks visiting graveyards.
On the runway at JFK, I sat between my brother Eldin and my 72 year old father, Senahid, nervous to return to the land after so many years.
"Which day are we going to the cemetery?" my father wanted to know.
"Which cemetery?" I asked as the plane took off.
The next morning in Brcko, the town of my birth, I climbed into the back seat of our rented car wearing a tank top, jeans and sneakers. My brother Eldin shook his head. "You're not going like that, exposing your tattoo." He gestured to the bright blue and yellow coat of arms of the historical Bosnian Flag on my arm. He did not want any trouble.
We were going to see the karate coach, Pero, who betrayed us. Our goal was not to pay respect. It was to see for ourselves that the bastard was dead.
But I'd waited 20 years for this; I would not back down so fast. "Let's stop so I can get two bottles of water," I said.
"Why?" my brother asked. "So you can piss on Pero's grave?"
Eldin knew me too well. As we parked, I felt his body temperature rise, along with his anxiety.
This was a Serb cemetery. We didn't belong here. As I walked by the black marble markers and crosses amid the bitter scent of candle wax, I was conscious of sour looks and muttered profanities. How dare I walk over their sons' graves with that ink on my left shoulder. In 1992, I would have been shot dead.
As I stood over Pero's grave, I recalled how my brother and I were his favorites in the karate club. He helped me become the youngest brown belt there. One happy evening, my mother invited him over for stuffed peppers.
After the war broke out, Pero was put in charge of the city's special police unit. I was shocked when he arrived in front of our building in an army van to cleanse the building of non Serbs like us. We were given an hour to leave, or be killed. My father and brother were thrown in a concentration camp while my mother and I stayed behind.
Pero turned my second home, the sports complex hall where he'd once coached me in karate, into a torture center where corpses of my neighbors were dismembered and stored, my father learned from fellow inmates. Five months later, I passed by Pero standing with a girl holding an AK 47. He pointed his finger at me and laughed. We later heard he was killed by one of his own, a Serb soldier, over a different girl.
"He's gone, we're alive and they still have to live next to us," my brother Eldin tried to console me at Pero's grave. His time came before ours. At least he had a funeral, unlike many of his innocent victims.
The second cemetery, for Bosnian Muslims, was located on the other side of the city. My Grandpa Suljo was buried there. The hatred and bitterness in the city spread to gravesites: Even the dead were split among ethnic groups. When the fighting began, the burial ground became the frontline, and the place was pummeled in order for Serb soldiers to have an unobstructed view. Horses and tractors ripped up and carried away the remaining headstones. Suljo's tombstone was sliced in half. Reconstructed, it was glued back together at its base, just like we were.
I also found the grave of my great Uncle Sabit. He passed away a few months before our arrival. I had been hoping to go trout fishing, like we used to.
When the Serbs stormed his apartment, he hid behind a bookshelf. His sister, my Great Aunt Fatima, lay in the grave next to him. She sacrificed herself in 2003, jumping in front of Van Cleef & Arpels pendant replica a cab to save her granddaughter. Her husband, Smajl, mysteriously died in the hospital during the war. We never found out what really happened. In my final memory he was offering himself to the military police to distract them from finding Sabit and my father, who were hiding.
Last, we visited my Grandmother Emina, who passed away after holding services for the sixth month anniversary of my mother's death. Heartbroken, it was a no brainer that she'd go into cardiac arrest.
"Your tattoo looks amazing," the undertaker said, waving as he walked away.
We belonged here.
We visited two more cemeteries. One contained 556 fighters from our side. Another was a burial ground for both Bosnian soldiers and civilians, a six hour car ride away.
"Hey, you have to see this guy, he's not one of us," I yelled to my brother as I read the Serb name of a soldier buried there: Goran. He was a Serb who fought in the Bosnian Army against his own people; he fought for the good side, despite what he had been born into, and his family put him to rest among his Muslim neighbors. In my book, Goran deserved the most respect. His ethnicity didn't matter because he saw the war through the same Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra Necklace copy eyes as everyone else who landed here. If I'd died in my homeland, this would be the place copy Van Cleef & Arpels necklace I'd want to lay.
"You'll never catch me dead flying over Bosnia," my mother Adisa used to say after we'd escaped to the United States.
It had been four years since we'd been to see her in Enfield, Connecticut, where we'd promised to spread crushed marble stones on her grave.
