Deep dives

The Impact of Toxic Food Ingredients

Many people are unknowingly consuming foods that contain harmful chemicals, which may contribute to chronic health issues in America. The U.S. permits around 10,000 chemicals in food, far more than the 400 allowed in Europe, raising concerns about food safety. Notably, ingredients like acetone and benzene can be found in American food products without substantial safety checks prior to approval. This lack of regulation can allow potentially dangerous substances to enter the food supply, leading to adverse health outcomes that are often overlooked in public discourse.
