ARTICLE TAGS

Americans are slowly waking up to the sad fact that much of the food sold in
the US is far inferior to the same foods sold in other nations. In fact,
many of the foods you eat are BANNED in other countries.
Here, I’ll review 10 American foods that are banned elsewhere.
Seeing how the overall health of Americans is so much lower than other
industrialized countries, you can’t help but wonder whether toxic foods
such as these might play a role in our skyrocketing disease rates.
BANNED FOODS
#1: Farm-Raised Salmon
If you want to maximize health benefits from fish, you want to steer clear
of farmed fish, particularly farmed salmon fed dangerous chemicals. Wild
salmon gets its bright pinkish-red color from natural carotenoids in their
diet. Farmed salmon, on the other hand, are raised on a wholly unnatural
diet of grains (including genetically engineered varieties), plus a
concoction of antibiotics and other drugs and chemicals not shown to be safe
for humans.
This diet leaves the fish with unappetizing grayish flesh so to compensate,
they’re fed synthetic astaxanthin made from petrochemicals, which has not
been approved for human consumption and has well known toxicities. According
to the featured article, some studies suggest it can potentially damage
your eyesight. More details are available in yesterday’s article.
Where it’s banned: Australia and New Zealand
How can you tell whether a salmon is wild or farm-raised? The flesh of wild
sockeye salmon is bright red, courtesy of its natural astaxanthin content.
It’s also very lean, so the fat marks, those white stripes you see in the
meat, are very thin. If the fish is pale pink with wide fat marks, the
salmon is farmed.
Avoid Atlantic salmon, as typically salmon labeled “Atlantic Salmon”
currently comes from fish farms. The two designations you want to look for
are: “Alaskan salmon,” and “sockeye salmon,” as Alaskan sockeye is not
allowed to be farmed. Please realize that the vast majority of all salmon
sold in restaurants is farm raised.
So canned salmon labeled “Alaskan Salmon” is a good bet, and if you find
sockeye salmon, it’s bound to be wild. Again, you can tell sockeye salmon
from other salmon by its color; its flesh is bright red opposed to pink,
courtesy of its superior astaxanthin content. Sockeye salmon actually has
one of the highest concentrations of astaxanthin of any food.
#2: Genetically Engineered Papaya
Most Hawaiian papaya is now genetically engineered to be resistant to
ringspot virus. Mounting research now shows that animals fed genetically
engineered foods, such as corn and soy, suffer a wide range of maladies,
including intestinal damage, multiple-organ damage, massive tumors, birth
defects, premature death, and near complete sterility by the third
generation of offspring. Unfortunately, the gigantic human lab experiment is
only about 10 years old, so we are likely decades away from tabulating the
human casualties.
Where it’s banned: The European Union
Unfortunately, it’s clear that the US government is not in a position to
make reasonable and responsible decisions related to genetically engineered
foods at this point, when you consider the fact that the Obama
administration has placed former Monsanto attorney and Vice President,
Michael Taylor, in charge of US food safety, and serious conflicts of
interest even reign supreme within the US Supreme Court! That’s right.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is also a former Monsanto attorney,
but refuses to acknowledge any conflict of interest.
#3: Ractopamine-Tainted Meat
The beta agonist drug ractopamine (a repartitioning agent that increases
protein synthesis) was recruited for livestock use when researchers found
that the drug, used in asthma, made mice more muscular. This reduces the
overall fat content of the meat. Ractopamine is currently used in about 45
percent of US pigs, 30 percent of ration-fed cattle, and an unknown
percentage of turkeys are pumped full of this drug in the days leading up to
slaughter. Up to 20 percent of ractopamine remains in the meat you buy from
the supermarket, according to veterinarian Michael W. Fox.
Where it’s banned: 160 countries across Europe, Russia, mainland China and
Republic of China (Taiwan)
Since 1998, more than 1,700 people have been “poisoned” from eating pigs
fed the drug, and ractopamine is banned from use in food animals in no less
than 160 different countries due to its harmful health effects! Effective
February 11, 2013, Russia issued a ban on US meat imports, slated to last
until the US agrees to certify that the meat is ractopamine-free. At present
, the US does not even test for the presence of this drug in meats sold. In
animals, ractopamine is linked to reductions in reproductive function,
increase of mastitis in dairy herds, and increased death and disability. It
’s also known to affect the human cardiovascular system, and is thought to
be responsible for hyperactivity, and may cause chromosomal abnormalities
and behavioral changes.

#4: Flame Retardant Drinks
If you live in the US and drink Mountain Dew and some other citrus-flavored
sodas and sports drinks, then you are also getting a dose of a synthetic
chemical called brominated vegetable oil (BVO), which was originally
patented by chemical companies as a flame retardant.
BVO has been shown to bioaccumulate in human tissue and breast milk, and
animal studies have found it causes reproductive and behavioral problems in
large doses. Bromine is a central nervous system depressant, and a common
endocrine disruptor. It’s part of the halide family, a group of elements
that includes fluorine, chlorine and iodine. When ingested, bromine competes
for the same receptors that are used to capture iodine. This can lead to
iodine deficiency, which can have a very detrimental impact on your health.
Bromine toxicity can manifest as skin rashes, acne, loss of appetite,
fatigue, and cardiac arrhythmias.
Where it’s banned: Europe and Japan
According to the featured article:
“The FDA has flip-flopped on BVO’s safety originally classifying it as ‘
generally recognized as safe’ but reversing that call now defining it as an
‘interim food additive’ a category reserved for possibly questionable
substances used in food.”
#5: Processed Foods Containing Artificial Food Colors and Dyes
More than 3,000 food additives — preservatives, flavorings, colors and
other ingredients — are added to US foods, including infant foods and foods
targeted to young children. Meanwhile, many of these are banned in other
countries, based on research showing toxicity and hazardous health effects,
especially with respect to adverse effects on children’s behavior. For
example, as reported in the featured article:
“Boxed Mac & Cheese, cheddar flavored crackers, Jell-O and many kids’
cereals contain red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6 and/or blue 2, the most popularly
-used dyes in the United States. Research has shown this rainbow of
additives can cause behavioral problems as well as cancer, birth defects and
other health problems in laboratory animals. Red 40 and yellow 6 are also
suspected of causing an allergy-like hypersensitivity reaction in children.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest reports that some dyes are
also “contaminated with known carcinogens.”
Where it’s banned: Norway and Austria. In 2009, the British government
advised companies to stop using food dyes by the end of that year. The
European Union also requires a warning notice on most foods containing dyes.
In countries where these food colors and dyes are banned, food companies
like Kraft employ natural colorants instead, such as paprika extract,
beetroot, and annatto. The food blogger and activist Vani Hari, better known
as “Food Babe,” recently launched a Change.org petition2 asking Kraft to
remove artificial dyes from American Mac & Cheese to protect American
children from the well-known dangers of these dyes.
#6: Arsenic-Laced Chicken
Arsenic-based drugs are approved for use in animal feed in the US because
they make animals grow quicker and make the meat appear pinker (i.e. “
fresher”). The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has stated these
products are safe because they contain organic arsenic, which is less toxic
than the other inorganic form, which is a known carcinogen.
Where it’s banned: The European Union
The problem is, scientific reports surfaced stating that the organic arsenic
could transform into inorganic arsenic, which has been found in elevated
levels in supermarket chickens. The inorganic arsenic also contaminates
manure where it can eventually migrate into drinking water and may also be
causing heightened arsenic levels in US rice.
In 2011, Pfizer announced it would voluntarily stop marketing its arsenic-
based feed additive Roxarsone, but there are still several others on the
market. Several environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against the FDA
calling for their removal from the market. In the European Union, meanwhile,
arsenic-based compounds have never been approved as safe for animal feed.
#7: Bread with Potassium Bromate
You might not be aware of this, but nearly every time you eat bread in a
restaurant or consume a hamburger or hotdog bun you are consuming bromide,
as it is commonly used in flours. The use of potassium bromate as an
additive to commercial breads and baked goods has been a huge contributor to
bromide overload in Western cultures.
Where it’s banned: Canada, China and the EU
Bromated flour is “enriched” with potassium bromate. Commercial baking
companies claim it makes the dough more elastic and better able to stand up
to bread hooks. However, Pepperidge Farm and other successful companies
manage to use only unbromated flour without any of these so-called “
structural problems.” Studies have linked potassium bromate to kidney and
nervous system damage, thyroid problems, gastrointestinal discomfort, and
cancer. The International Agency for Research on Cancer classifies potassium
bromate as a possible carcinogen.
#8: Olestra/Olean
Olestra, aka Olean, created by Procter & Gamble, is a calorie- and
cholesterol-free fat substitute used in fat-free snacks like chips and
French fries. Three years ago, Time Magazine3 named it one of the worst 50
inventions ever, but that hasn’t stopped food companies from using it to
satisfy people’s mistaken belief that a fat-free snack is a healthier snack
. According to the featured article:
“Not only did a 2011 study from Purdue University conclude rats fed potato
chips made with Olean gained weight, there have been several reports of
adverse intestinal reactions to the fake fat including diarrhea, cramps and
leaky bowels. And because it interferes with the absorption of fat soluble
vitamins such as A, D, E and K, the FDA requires these vitamins be added to
any product made with Olean or olestra.”
Where it’s banned: The UK and Canada
#9: Preservatives BHA and BHT
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are
commonly used preservatives that can be found in breakfast cereal, nut mixes
, chewing gum, butter spread, meat, dehydrated potatoes, and beer, just to
name a few. BHA is known to cause cancer in rats, and may be a cancer-
causing agent in humans as well. In fact, according to the US Department of
Health and Human Services, National Toxicology Program’s 2011 Report on
Carcinogens, BHA “is reasonably anticipated to be a human carcinogen.” It
may also trigger allergic reactions and hyperactivity, while BHT can cause
organ system toxicity.
Where it’s banned: The UK doesn’t allow BHA in infant foods. BHA and BHT
are also banned in parts of the European Union and Japan.
#10: Milk and Dairy Products Laced with rBGH
Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) is the largest selling dairy animal
drug in America. RBGH is a synthetic version of natural bovine somatotropin
(BST), a hormone produced in cows’ pituitary glands. Monsanto developed
the recombinant version from genetically engineered E. coli bacteria and
markets it under the brand name “Posilac.”
It’s injected into cows to increase milk production, but it is banned in at
least 30 other nations because of its dangers to human health, which
include an increased risk for colorectal, prostate, and breast cancer by
promoting conversion of normal tissue cells into cancerous ones. Non-organic
dairy farms frequently have rBGH-injected cows that suffer at least 16
different adverse health conditions, including very high rates of mastitis
that contaminate milk with pus and antibiotics.
Where it’s banned: Australia, New Zealand, Israel, EU and Canada
“According to the American Cancer Society, the increased use of antibiotics
to treat this type of rBGH-induced inflammation ‘does promote the
development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, but the extent to which these
are transmitted to humans is unclear,’” the featured article states.
Many have tried to inform the public of the risks of using this hormone in
dairy cows, but their attempts have been met with overwhelming opposition by
the powerful dairy and pharmaceutical industries, and their government
liaisons. In 1997, two Fox-affiliate investigative journalists, Jane Akre
and Steve Wilson, attempted to air a program exposing the truth about the
dangers of rBGH. Lawyers for Monsanto, a major advertiser with the Florida
network, sent letters promising “dire consequences” if the story aired.
Despite decades of evidence about the dangers of rBGH, the FDA still
maintains it’s safe for human consumption and ignores scientific evidence
to the contrary. In 1999, the United Nations Safety Agency ruled unanimously
not to endorse or set safety standards for rBGH milk, which has effectively
resulted in an international ban on US milk.4 The Cancer Prevention
Coalition, trying for years to get the use of rBGH by the dairy industry
banned, resubmitted a petition to FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, MD, in
January 2010.5 Although the FDA stubbornly sticks to its position that milk
from rBGH-treated cows is no different than milk from untreated cows, this
is just plain false and is not supported by science. The only way to avoid
rBGH is to look for products labeled as “rBGH-free” or “No rBGH.”
