I always get asked, "What ingredients should I avoid in my food?"
This is why I included this "Ultimate No-No List" of food additives to avoid in the Food Babe Kitchen cookbook, along with a complete grocery shopping guide:
If you don't have Food Babe Kitchen yet, I'm happy to report that it's nearly 50% off right now on Amazon. Only $15 bucks! This is the best price I've seen yet.
Here's what's really interesting. Many ingredients on this "No-No List" are not used in other countries...
- You won't find BHT in cereals in Europe, but you will in America.
- You won't find Yellow 5 and Red 40 in European fruit snacks, but you will in America.
- You won't find High Fructose Corn Syrup in European ketchup, but you will in America.
- You won't find Dimethylsiloxane in European french fries, but you will in America.
I could go on.
Companies like Kraft-Heinz, Kellogg's, McDonald's, and PepsiCo reformulate their products without these ingredients to sell overseas. Meanwhile, they continue to sell inferior versions of the same products to Americans.
Why don't these companies just sell the same, safer, products everywhere?
I'll tell you why.
Europe takes a "precautionary principle" approach towards food additives that are POTENTIALLY risky. They ban or add warning labels to these additives for their citizens.
The U.S. doesn't do this. Unless there is a big lawsuit or petition.
Americans are lab rats.
The U.S. government allows food companies to largely police itself, deciding which ingredients, chemicals, and additives are "safe" to use in their products. This clearly isn't wise – is it?
If a company can get away with using cheaper ingredients, they will.
Given a choice, they'll opt for the cheaper flavor enhancer, the cheaper color additive, and the cheaper preservative, and the cheaper GMO ingredient…
Even if these cheaper alternatives have a negative impact on our health and weight.
The truth is that nobody is watching out for us. When they tell you they know their processed foods are safe, they are telling you a lie.
This is why getting off processed food is one of the ABSOLUTE best things you can do for yourself!
