My brother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2019 and had a feeding tube put in when he could no longer swallow. The first ingredient was corn syrup. I fought so hard to get him on the organic feed. The insurance dietician treated me like I was stupid saying they have that to all their patients on feed tube. The insurance finally approved one week after he lost his battle to cancer. 😡 Shame on (Nestlé) and other companies for the garbage they sell to feeding tube patients

I made the shift decades ago when my friend had to take me for groceries. He looked around and said "I don't see any food here." Even big brand chocolate bars sold in "2nd world" countries were so rich and satisfying, unlike the crap they sell to the USA. I honestly think the US gets the waste products after they make the good stuff for countries who won't buy inferior products, ie beer, chocolate etc. Even Ikea USA has cheaper-made, lower quality (flimsy) furniture than in Europe. I mentioned this to an IKEA worker last week who was from Eastern Europe and she said it was absolutely true. Our government needs to protect the US people.
That is really sad that is happening. Maybe time to leave the US. But I think we can still find quality food and items. We just have to boycott these inferior items
No I lived in Europe for years. YES I PREFER THEIR FOODS GENERALLY BUT they are inundated with islam and I prefer to be free. They took down gorgeous Christmas decorations because they ''offended muslims''. Who fought for Europe In WW2? LIFE IS MORE THAN FOOD.
As a Swede it's really weird to see the difference in product quality at IKEA in the USA. I got a bed from there a decade ago that I could pass on to eventual kids. I wish they'd stop flying our flag over such shitty products.
I’m American Mexican and I always tell people that like nestle powder(strawberry, vanilla or chocolate flavored) to buy it from the oriental aisle because it has better ingredients than the one in the cereal aisle.
I visited France a few years back. Ate bread and other yummy goods and never had reflux, the whole time there. Came back home and thought I would die. I eat mostly organic food, but still have digestive problems. I think there is some illegal stuff going on with our so called organic foods.
I heard that "organic" food in the US can have a percentage of non organic. If you are sensitive you may need to do some research to find clean food. Good luck.
@@dolcemaddalena In our household, almost all of what we eat is whole food, single ingredient and no label. Don't know if Thrive sells that though. Everything he showed was processed food.
Very interesting. I am German, and i happened to have Heinz Tomato Ketchup in my fridge. On my label ist says that it is made from 174 g of tomatoes per 100 g ketchup, 50 % less sugar and 50% less salt than regular Heinz ketchup and the ingredients are tomatoes (174 g per 100 g of product, vinegar, sugar, salt , spices. Since we don't have the "serving sizes" on ours , only the kcal etc per 100 g I actually broke it down to the serving size indicated on yours, which is 1 tbsp (17 g), so here goes: Kcal:10,88 fat: 0 g total carb: 2,94 g thereof sugar: 1,87 g protein: 0,238 g salt: 0,153 g Indeed a big difference. Now on the breakfast cereals Germany looses out, we don't have all these sugary things. We have some, but very few (all american expats complain about it), we are more a "Müsli"-country, you can find so many variations of it (Müsli = granola). But mind you, many of them also have too much sugar (for Germany's standards, probably still less than American granola - I assume). But like in the US, also in Germany and probably all of Europe we have grown more and more conscious about the ingredients, flavorings, colorings, sugar etc. I think it's a good thing. Very nice video!
I moved from the UK to the US 30 years ago and was so shocked at the inferior food in the US. It seemed like everything in a packet, jar or bottle was adulterated. Full of artificial ingredients. European foods are much better.
@@lindaeasley5606 actually she's right, the UK supermarkets work on a different model to many other countries. They don't hold stock in back rooms, what you see on the shelves is all the stock there is and they recieve deliveries daily. Its timing is incredibly tight. It frees up prime retail space and let's them slash prices. The bagged salad you bought for dinner was probably still in the ground 24 hours before. It is good, but coronavirus showed its weakness. Unplanned runs on stock can cause it to crumble but all in all, it works.
Funny that I’m from Portugal and have been working in the uk for 17 years and I think God in the uk is off lower quality than Portugal. Packed vegetables? Packed meats? Supermarkets in the uk are littered with food that’s bad for you.
@@lindaeasley5606 Apples are stored for 9+ months before they hit our store shelves. Carrots and potatoes are also stored for months prior to being shipped to the grocery store.
I moved to Japan 10 yrs ago and foods don't have artificial colors!!! No red cakes, no candy that make your tongue blue, it's rare to see colorful sprinkles but they're made with natural colors!
Very true. America sells garbage and dangerous ingredients and chemicals to their own people. I was born and raised in Europe and during the first few years after I moved to the US I was shocked to find out how bad the food here is and I was struggling seriously with stomach cramps, discomfort, bloating, digestive problems, nausea. It took years for my body to get used to the food in America. I try to eat healthy but I don’t feel healthy at the same time.
I live in the UK, I think because we have the Universal Healthcare system, if people get sick, it will be the government to shoulder the cost so definitely prevention is better than cure, whereas in the US if the people become sick, its thier problem and business for the Healthcare & pharmaceutical sector.
When I visited the US for a holiday I ended up losing weight as I couldn't eat most of the food. Anything packaged tasted like a sugar bomb to me. It didn't even taste like a 'real' or natural sweet flavour, it almost had a synthetic taste
This is so true. People in America should know that things that they sell you in the stores some or most things are banned in Europe or even in Canada. Be careful.
Big food has bribed the FDA into allowing cheaper ingredients. The FDA is corrupt and cares NOTHING for your health, allowing food dyes, toxic preservatives, sugars, alcohol, and tobacco to (1) make you addicted to junk food for more profits and (2) make you sick for the medical and big pharmaceutical companies to treat you! Go Keto or Carnivore and eat whole single ingredient foods to be TRULY healthy!
Thank you Bobby for this valuable info! I love that you love what you do! I'm 50 yrs old and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but you've definitely found your passion and I'm super grateful you have this channel and teach us ALOT! Thank you thank you thank you! God bless you and your family, and Art! 😘❤💙❤💙
I cut out all pop/soda since the pandemic began and I feel way better! I also switched to Sprouted bread, cauliflower pizza crusts and lots of other foods from this channel all during the pandemic. I love this channel ❤ and its super informative and educational.
This is so true. I have noticed that every time I’m in Europe, I eat various foods including pastries and I’m fine but when I eat similar foods here my body doesn’t react the same way and sweets….I just smell them here and gain 20 lbs!!! We use way too many preservatives and chemicals in our food here in the US. Very different overseas
My daughter brought home some cereal, when I flipped it over I read (in small print, not on the ingredient list) that it was a bio engineered food!!!! How in the world are our food suppliers allowed to market and sell frankenfood food here in supposedly the most advanced country in the world Thank you Bobby for teaching us to read labels and check ingredients Unbelievable what’s in “food” products 🤦🏼♀️
Stop saying things like "supposedly the most advanced country in the world"! In what way is the USA advanced? This just isn't true,in fact, the US and s backward in so many ways. Wake up Americans. Your country is a for profit corporation and there is no system in place to protect the individual citizen or to keep you healthy.
I came across your channel a few months ago. Started reading labels and following your advice. In 5 months I lost 30 pounds and my blood pressure returned to normal. Thanks for the advice.
So true .. i am from trinidad and we follow the American way of food .. Bobby has highlighted a problem that has always rang in my mind . People when you buy these things you are DOWNPAYING on health problems for you and your family. Go organic or just make simple meals at home . Trust me . Live green people !🌏🌎🌍
So good to keep being reminded and educated about US food standards. Crazy how food prices are soaring and people are paying so much money to poison themselves. Thanks for pointing out how Hunt's offers a better option minus the high fructose. I haven't drank soda or electrolyte enhanced drinks in years. In the US it's all about false advertising and selling making top profits for cheap ingredients that harm your body. Keep it up Bobby and Brad.
I cared for a child that was allergic to red dye no.5. I had to read ingredient lists for everything she ate. While she was in my care at sunday school, another teacher tried to give me food, and I had to stop them before she ate it. The child was upset, but her parents were grateful that I stopped her.
Thank you for doing these videos! I’ve learned so much over the past years watching all your videos. I’ve changed the way I cook and always look out for those bad ingredients. Also Slowly I’ve stopped buying the bad stuff for my kids and give them better & healthier choices. Keep those videos coming. Much love from Texas ☺️
"Slowly" has been the key here too. They all like most of the new things I have introduced, but even my husband can get whiney about missing his "favorites."
Yes indeed ..thanks for smart heroes such as this video., We. need to be wise and pay special attention to what we eat or drink... I for one feel lucky for being the way I am..never really cared for any kind of drink which is sweet but plain mineral water and seltzer wzter..mix soda with water for thirst...
I have a love/hate relationship with this channel. I love all the info and I'm really soaking it in and making alot of good changes but hate it because it exposed me to all the bad foods I've been eating and loved lol
I live in Germany and when I saw that Coke bottle I frantically checked my little Coke bottle next to me and was glad relived to see that it uses Sugar instead of Corn Syrup. One thing that I noticed when my brother brought candies from his trips to the US is, that sweets are a LOT sweeter than what we are used to here in Germany. I have a sweet tooth but when I ate American chocolate I could really taste nothing but sugar and some odd flavoring, I think it was Hershey's, it really didn't taste anything like the chocolate I'm used to. That is not to say that I've such a perfekt diet, I'm just slowly beginning to eat smarter and I just started pretty recently to do so.
True--everything of yours is superior-food wise anyway. Germany got me in the habit of fresh flowers all the time--roses in my case. I still have my high quality German.made clothes.
I can agree that pastries, for example, that I grew up eating in southern Spain ( am American by birth) are half as sweet as what you will find in the U.S. Am watching this video for first time😀.
You are so right. We went to Mexico on vacation, and they had European style dessert there. Our friends didn't like them. I could t figure out why. I ate them and they were delicious. But I did notice that they were a lot less sweet. Still enough to taste really good. But I didn't feel like I was eating pastry soaked in honey... lol...
I'm from the Bronx but I live in Rome. I can't imagine eating American food after living here for over a decade. People in the US don't understand they are not eating real food. They're eating corporate genetically modified products masking as food. They put a sponge product in American bread used in yoga mats😳I buy fresh bread from the bakery every morning. And you wonder why people in your country are sick with cancer, diabetes high blood pressure etc🤯
You shouldn't suppress coughs!! That's your body trying to move excess mucus. Most often extra mucus and coughs are caused from seasonal allergies. If you suppress the cough the mucus sits, causes infection, and makes you sicker for longer.
You are absolutely correct...that said, if it's use for throat "strain" talking too much...it's ok to help the body along. But I will stress you are absolutely correct!
My Mom used to take medicine whenever she was sick and would always get annoyed with me because I didn’t push medicine(I was sick A LOT growing up, bronchitis, pneumonia) on my kids. I refused because I’ve noticed that now that I’m older medicine doesn’t work that well for me. Unfortunately my Moms mom also pushed medicine. My point I guess is that my Mom passed away at 60, and her mom at 53.

Interestingly, for artificial colors, the opposite happened with Irn-Bru from Scotland. They couldn't export it to the states because of a couple controversial dyes, one of which is "Ponceau 4R." Since 2002 a different formula has been available here, but the drink is still hard to find without ordering it online (or attending the Highland Games here in Portland.)
This is why, when you're shopping at Walmart, you see so many Ghoulish/Crazed-looking/Zombie-like shoppers. Look in their carts and you'll see the "Grim Reaper's" shopping list.
The caffine in Coke ( and most sodas and energy drinks) is also make from Coal tar, which i believe is a byproduct of natural gas. Oh and look up a Coke label in Mexico, it's awesome. On the label they don't recommend it for children and stress that it has excess sugar
The food babe is a quack who has been called out many times by scientist for saying extremely inaccurate things. When you point this out to her she immediately bans you instead of trying to defend her untrue statements.
@@Ryan_DeWitt Is it out of the realm of possibility that the scientists could be quacks themselves? I mean I've seen COUNTLESS scientists called quacks when going completely left on a mainstream narrative. Even one of my relatives, Jacques Cinq-Mars had to learn this the hard way.
This channel was key in helping me prep to get through the ‘world situation ver 1.0’ -now I keep buying those kinds of safe products, which has been easy to do since during world situation ver 2.0, people are buying all the junky foods-so all the healthy ones are still in stores. Ty for all u do guys! Going to check out Thrive Market now.
I am so happy I found your channel. Now I actually read ingredients before I buy anything. Thank you for keeping us informed. I share your videos with my friends all the time as well. I think people need to make some lifestyle changes ASAP especially the American consumer.
All industrialized nations in North America, Europe, and Asia are experiencing more diabetes, heart disease, and cancers! Fast food and processed crap have infiltrated every country on the planet!
It’s all about money 💰the more advanced a country is, the worse it will be because corporations get too greedy and the government lets them get away with a lot of things, U.S. leads the world with health issues for a reason.
You’re an angel just saving lives everyday! My grocery cart was literally empty after watching your videos because I was doing it all wrong. I watched many of your videos and rewrote my entire grocery list and I’m not deprived just wiser. God bless you! Thank You!
The best food is homegrown if at all possible, and homemade with exclusively one ingredient items. No mixes, no fancy packaging. Just the way your great grandparents would have eaten. 🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳🌲🌳
i've lived abroad in spain the last 3 years and it's crazy how fresh the food is!! i remember one of the first things i had was canned chickpea soup (tired and just arrived airbnb dinner lol) and i was so shocked at how homemade it tasted i couldn't believe it. no weird chemical sounding ingredients in almost everything here. even junk food like cheetos has actual flavor. the european heinz ketchup is defintely better. much richer tomato flavor and not coyingly sweet. it's really not fair that corporations can do what they do but they have money and wield politcal power to write laws to protect them. hopefully we the consumers can change that in the future
Some people get seizures from the lack of magnesium in their diets, might be true for our pets as well. Look up the food sources, and see what is missing on your dinner plates.
Thanks for raising this important issue Bobby. I moved back to the UK last year after 15 years in Chicago (ironically in Lakeview - on Oakdale - so I get homesick for Chicago & TJs whenever I see your older videos!) I downloaded your app when I lived there, so it shocked me how many things you warn about, we just don’t have in the UK. For example, when I moved back to Oxford, I kept looking for grass-fed/finished meat - only to realise almost all meat over here is grass-fed, which is why it’s not written on the labels. It’s the default. Same with chlorinated chicken and GMO. We literally don’t allow them here. I still have to look out for many dodgy ‘natural flavourings’, oils & preservatives, so your app is open constantly - but it’s sad to know the FDA isn’t protecting its own citizens. Glad to know you are, though... :)
I love when Bobby is talking to us about something and you see Brad just chilling in the background. Like he's waiting to move on to the next thing. 😂 I started watching him years ago because I love little Rosie but I can't help but love this whole family!
This video reminds me how different the food was in Italy living there 2008 to 2021. Please do an Italy comparison video in the future. They don't use the junk allowed in the USA in do many foods. It feels like paradise.
Thank you! Thank you! Finally someone did a video on this. Could you do another video for other foods that seem healthy but contain those harmful ingredients? A lot of the things are junk foods, and I think most people who follow/subscribe to your channel probably don’t eat/drink that. Keep up the great work!!! I really appreciate your efforts in educating and warning us about the constant food traps we have to maneuver and try staying ahead of the new ‘IT’ harmful ingredient used in our foods. :)
I am learning so much from your videos. I was aware of dies and BHT preservatives and all the documentaries exposing the food industry. I am grateful you give us options to substitute. Thank you so much!
I learn so much from your videos. It is so upsetting how all these things are banned elsewhere but still here because they cut costs and that a lot of people don't realize it. After watching this video I noticed one of my work snacks had BHT. The snack I am eaten is commonly given to kids in school. So frustrating
Omg, you named a lot of foods that I still eat…thank God for your channel. I’m making a change and I’m so grateful I have help from your videos. Thank you!
I am. I was just diagnosed with diabetis. No knowledge at all abt what i can eat n not eat. Started following Bobby and learning. Thank you, Bobby. So much more to learn.
The food coloring is very noticable in children. My son wasn't allowed candy until he was older. The first time he ate red licorice he projectile vomited, then I noticed that when he had a red freezy he became very difficult he was usually a very easy-going Sweet child but when he ate the red freezy he was angry and difficult from that point forward I only let him have the clear freezies and have warned other parents about the red dye. Red dye can be the cause of behavioral issues in children.
Is it any wonder that we have more children on the Spectrum than ever in history. As a teacher, I could tell if jello or punch was served in the cafeteria. This goes to another point - What is the excuse for the poison they feed our kids in school?
I'm from the UK but now live in France, when I visited the USA I thought things tasted weird but I couldn't put my finger on it, now I know why. Great video let's hope the powers that be might make the same changes in the USA that they have here. They already know how to do it
Now I finally understand. Growing up in Germany Fanta was my absolute favorite drink in the world then I moved to the states and at first I didn’t even recognize the Fanta I wondered why the Fanta in Europe was a light yellow color but here it’s this dark orange color and it tastes horrible here compared to the European version so now I know it’s because the European one had natural color hence why it was so light and here it has artificial color hence why it’s so dark and the other huge difference obviously that I did know about before is that over there it’s made with sugar here it’s made with high fructose corn syrup. On the very rare occasion I drink soda these days it’s only if it’s the pepsi made with “real sugar” it’s so sad that here it has to be a selling point to say it’s made with “real sugar”. So the end result of the American Fanta being so much more synthetic is that it tastes nowhere near as good as its European counterpart which is nowhere near as synthetic.
You’re a Great Guy thank you for your very important Health information you should run for FDA office to represent us the population and our Health May God Bless you keep up the Great work...
BHA and BHT were banned in the 70s. I remember. I dont know when that changed. They also banned a certain red dye in the 70s or 80s. That was in red M&Ms etc. In the 70s I knew that. Hydrogenated palm kernal oil was bad and I thought they did away with most of it but it is still in tons of processed food especially at the dollar stores.
The food industry feeds the huge health care system which has been growing at an obscene rate. Two different hospitals near me have been in a fierce competition both expanding rapidly over the last 20 years and continues to build new facilities on a regular basis
Bobby, Thank you for all of your review videos! Before I found your channel, I liked to think I have a fairly good grasp on the good and bad. But you have educated me a lot and influenced my grocery shopping immensely. Plus, I share with friends & family as much as they will listen. 🙂
I wish you talked about MSG and its derivatives such as disodium inosinate. In my twenties I started developing extreme migraines to the point where I was paralyzed on one side of my body and it was very scary. I'd never had migraines before. When I explain this problem to a friend he said that a friend of his had the same problem which came from MSG. I realize that all of the episodes I had or following eating Asian food which likely had contained MSG. I started to avoid eating MSG and preparing certain foods that have MSG with alternative ingredients at home. But, I was still getting the same reactions. I finally started looking at the labels and researching what was in the products I was using and one of those included disodium inosinate. At the time of doing this research about 20 years ago I found out that these substances were banned in other countries because they created a lot of problems for people. These substances are neurotransmitters and are bad news. I noticed that they were in canned vegetables, soups, and basically anything savory at the grocery store. It was horrifying to me that MSG was being masqueraded as another substance and added to practically everything. I know that fewer restaurants now use MSG and I've noticed disodium inosinate used less in processed and other Foods. However they're in hundreds if not thousands of products in the grocery store and maybe affecting people in ways that they are not aware of. I have yet to see anybody address this, and would love to see perhaps even entire episode devoted to this because it is a big problem and needs to be exposed.
I used to mix ingredients for pet food and used dye #’s whatever. When I took a shower after work, the water would turn bright reds and yellows, just from the dust that would settle on me.
I use coke to clean rusty metal. No joke, it's mostly phosphoric acid and it works great for this purpose. I rarely ever drink any soda cuz it's poison.
When I was a dental assistant in the Army, the doc extracted a perfect sound tooth 🤯. No way to re-root... We put the tooth in a cup of Coke ( original recipe, it was 1976) , anyway, 4 days later the tooth was just some sludge in bottom of cup.
Actually, there was a research done in India about Coke & Pepsi using pesticides- this was about 20 years ago. Coke & Pepsi joined hand against this research. we in India these rich country company think it’s just for India (3rd world, poor people etc) & well ... now we know.
@@meman6964 BS. That is not true at all and has been shown not to be true. Just an urban legend people repeat. Put a tooth in any recipe of coke you want and you will have a coke soaked tooth. Nothing more.
I moved from the good old UK to America 3 years ago and I'm struggling with the food standards here. I've never even seen some of the ingredients listed and shopping takes longer than it usually would. I've resorted to ordering food from back home, the cost is astronomical but health comes first. The reason the food is so bad in the USA is because you guys pay for your medical. In the UK we have the National Health Service so its in their interest to give us healthy food and keep us out of hospitals unlike the system here.
I lived in Mexico for about 3 months at first my body was rejecting all the food there but one week later I started feeling better and eventually lost all sorts of weight.Came back to the USA gain it all back really fast
Most Americans don't care about what they consume. Thankfully I care about what I consume and none of the things in this video are things that I consume anyways.
Awesome, love your videos! I think bvo is what musta caused my hypothyroidism, I used to drink a lot of mountain due growing up! Wow wish I had these videos when I was younger. Great job on these videos a real help for the public! God bless you
I was raised in Germany, when I came to the US i had stomach problems every time I ate, I thought it was anxiety trying to get used to another country, I learn fast what it was, I am always skeptical but I do read labels, the FDA sucks 😞
The problem of the USA is how lobbyists are allowed to put pressure and bribe congressmans and then stop the FDA from doing their job. Lobbying has its limit in Europe and the food agencies do their job. It’s time for the American customers to ask for a return on their tax money and demand the FDA and USDA to do what they supposed to do
Awesome video. We need to spread more awareness to people of what they’re eating and drinking!! The fact that they allow these harmful chemicals in our food is absolutely sickening (literally) thanks for sharing! Always love your videos! ❤️
If you purchase coke soda just purchase the ones in the glass bottles that come from Mexico and they are still made with sugar and in CA they are easy to find.
***Question @Bobby Parrish - I get GI issues from maltodextrin and so I bought Laird's Superfood creamers but I was getting the same issues. I double checked the label and it has maltodextrin :( NOt on the US label, which was why I bought it...but when the label is transferred into Canadian standards the coconut milk powder has to be broken down and it has maltodextrin. My question - will my body adapt? Thanks so much :)
Maltodextrin doesn't agree with some people. Its inclusion in a food like that would be unfortunate. I am unfamiliar with this situation, but not properly labeling food with all the ingredients is illegal in the US and irresponsible as well. There was also an inorganic mineral (calcium or magnesium) in one of Laird's products. It was part of the Aquamins minerals he used. Inorganic minerals can be too hard for some people to break down.
Thank you for all the videos! The videos are very helpful and informative. Since 2015, I had my left kidney removed do to cancer. I looked at the labels and had no idea what to look for, but now I do. For the most part I stay away from boxed, canned, frozen foods, sodas and sports drinks. Now I realize I need to check condiments, and personal care products as well.
My brother was diagnosed with esophageal cancer in 2019 and had a feeding tube put in when he could no longer swallow. The first ingredient was corn syrup.

I made the shift decades ago when my friend had to take me for groceries. He looked around and said "I don't see any food here."
Even big brand chocolate bars sold in "2nd world" countries were so rich and satisfying, unlike the crap they sell to the USA. I honestly think the US gets the waste products after they make the good stuff for countries who won't buy inferior products, ie beer, chocolate etc.
Even Ikea USA has cheaper-made, lower quality (flimsy) furniture than in Europe. I mentioned this to an IKEA worker last week who was from Eastern Europe and she said it was absolutely true. Our government needs to protect the US people.
That is really sad that is happening. Maybe time to leave the US. But I think we can still find quality food and items. We just have to boycott these inferior items
No I lived in Europe for years. YES I PREFER THEIR FOODS GENERALLY BUT they are inundated with islam and I prefer to be free. They took down gorgeous Christmas decorations because they ''offended muslims''. Who fought for Europe In WW2? LIFE IS MORE THAN FOOD.
As a Swede it's really weird to see the difference in product quality at IKEA in the USA. I got a bed from there a decade ago that I could pass on to eventual kids. I wish they'd stop flying our flag over such shitty products.
Protect the US people lol.....only with the COVID vaccine.
@@tairz2013 lol
I’m American Mexican and I always tell people that like nestle powder(strawberry, vanilla or chocolate flavored) to buy it from the oriental aisle because it has better ingredients than the one in the cereal aisle.
So true!
I visited France a few years back. Ate bread and other yummy goods and never had reflux, the whole time there. Came back home and thought I would die. I eat mostly organic food, but still have digestive problems. I think there is some illegal stuff going on with our so called organic foods.
I heard that "organic" food in the US can have a percentage of non organic. If you are sensitive you may need to do some research to find clean food. Good luck.
try a daily probiotic pill and get a colon cleanse a couple of times a year to clean out your gut.
I adore France. I'd shop at the Match market.
More likely unethical than illegal
@@dolcemaddalena In our household, almost all of what we eat is whole food, single ingredient and no label. Don't know if Thrive sells that though. Everything he showed was processed food.
Very interesting. I am German, and i happened to have Heinz Tomato Ketchup in my fridge. On my label ist says that it is made from 174 g of tomatoes per 100 g ketchup, 50 % less sugar and 50% less salt than regular Heinz ketchup and the ingredients are tomatoes (174 g per 100 g of product, vinegar, sugar, salt , spices. Since we don't have the "serving sizes" on ours , only the kcal etc per 100 g I actually broke it down to the serving size indicated on yours, which is 1 tbsp (17 g), so here goes:
Kcal:10,88
fat: 0 g
total carb: 2,94 g
thereof sugar: 1,87 g
protein: 0,238 g
salt: 0,153 g
Indeed a big difference.
Now on the breakfast cereals Germany looses out, we don't have all these sugary things. We have some, but very few (all american expats complain about it), we are more a "Müsli"-country, you can find so many variations of it (Müsli = granola). But mind you, many of them also have too much sugar (for Germany's standards, probably still less than American granola - I assume).
But like in the US, also in Germany and probably all of Europe we have grown more and more conscious about the ingredients, flavorings, colorings, sugar etc. I think it's a good thing.
Very nice video!
I moved from the UK to the US 30 years ago and was so shocked at the inferior food in the US. It seemed like everything in a packet, jar or bottle was adulterated. Full of artificial ingredients. European foods are much better.
@Hopper33 produce has very short shelf life so it doesn't sit around for months . Over exaggerating
@@lindaeasley5606 actually she's right, the UK supermarkets work on a different model to many other countries. They don't hold stock in back rooms, what you see on the shelves is all the stock there is and they recieve deliveries daily. Its timing is incredibly tight. It frees up prime retail space and let's them slash prices. The bagged salad you bought for dinner was probably still in the ground 24 hours before. It is good, but coronavirus showed its weakness. Unplanned runs on stock can cause it to crumble but all in all, it works.
I buy very few processed foods. Ignore all the center aisles.
Funny that I’m from Portugal and have been working in the uk for 17 years and I think God in the uk is off lower quality than Portugal. Packed vegetables? Packed meats? Supermarkets in the uk are littered with food that’s bad for you.
@@lindaeasley5606 Apples are stored for 9+ months before they hit our store shelves. Carrots and potatoes are also stored for months prior to being shipped to the grocery store.
How can we demand better from the FDA? I'd love to see a video about accountability.
This has always bothered me, thank you for exposing this!
I moved to Japan 10 yrs ago and foods don't have artificial colors!!! No red cakes, no candy that make your tongue blue, it's rare to see colorful sprinkles but they're made with natural colors!
Keep educating us Bobby. Thank you!!!!!
Let’s keep America sick so they need medication and doctors......ugh no thank you.
I agree with Susan. And Congress needs to pass a law against spraying Round-Up on the food we and the farm animals eat.
How else would Pharma care make big bucks if we didn't get sick 😷
Hand shaking procedure
We need a Bobby approved grocery store!! 💙
Yes! An actual Flavcity!
I hope he sees this comment.
I would shop there
Period
Yes
Bobby is out here really changing lives. Thank you, man.
They are literally poisoning us. This is honestly very depressing. But thanks for making these videos and spreading awareness.

Extremely depressing
The pork in America is also banned in most countries
Yea
US food corporations and pharmaceuticals are in the same team...
Yuplow key form of population control, nobody makes money off healthy people, just illness

Truth
Trying to get rich
Very true. America sells garbage and dangerous ingredients and chemicals to their own people. I was born and raised in Europe and during the first few years after I moved to the US I was shocked to find out how bad the food here is and I was struggling seriously with stomach cramps, discomfort, bloating, digestive problems, nausea. It took years for my body to get used to the food in America. I try to eat healthy but I don’t feel healthy at the same time.
I live in the UK, I think because we have the Universal Healthcare system, if people get sick, it will be the government to shoulder the cost so definitely prevention is better than cure, whereas in the US if the people become sick, its thier problem and business for the Healthcare & pharmaceutical sector.
People who are low income are on Medicaid and our seniors are on Medicare both government paid.
It's also business for the weight loss industry.
When I visited the US for a holiday I ended up losing weight as I couldn't eat most of the food. Anything packaged tasted like a sugar bomb to me. It didn't even taste like a 'real' or natural sweet flavour, it almost had a synthetic taste
Aspartame has replaced sugar in many packaged foods; especially candy.
This is so true. People in America should know that things that they sell you in the stores some or most things are banned in Europe or even in Canada. Be careful.
Big food has bribed the FDA into allowing cheaper ingredients. The FDA is corrupt and cares NOTHING for your health, allowing food dyes, toxic preservatives, sugars, alcohol, and tobacco to (1) make you addicted to junk food for more profits and (2) make you sick for the medical and big pharmaceutical companies to treat you! Go Keto or Carnivore and eat whole single ingredient foods to be TRULY healthy!
Try to grow your own food, to the extent of your possibilities.
@@truelight2097 So true!
Hubby likes gardening and we got few veggies to enjoy
Canadas just as bad trust me
Thank you Bobby for this valuable info! I love that you love what you do! I'm 50 yrs old and still don't know what I want to do when I grow up, but you've definitely found your passion and I'm super grateful you have this channel and teach us ALOT! Thank you thank you thank you! God bless you and your family, and Art! 😘❤💙❤💙
I cut out all pop/soda since the pandemic began and I feel way better! I also switched to Sprouted bread, cauliflower pizza crusts and lots of other foods from this channel all during the pandemic. I love this channel ❤ and its super informative and educational.
This is so true. I have noticed that every time I’m in Europe, I eat various foods including pastries and I’m fine but when I eat similar foods here my body doesn’t react the same way and sweets….I just smell them here and gain 20 lbs!!! We use way too many preservatives and chemicals in our food here in the US. Very different overseas
My daughter brought home some cereal, when I flipped it over I read (in small print, not on the ingredient list) that it was a bio engineered food!!!! How in the world are our food suppliers allowed to market and sell frankenfood food here in supposedly the most advanced country in the world
Thank you Bobby for teaching us to read labels and check ingredients
Unbelievable what’s in “food” products 🤦🏼♀️
Same happen with penauts m&ms
Stop saying things like "supposedly the most advanced country in the world"! In what way is the USA advanced? This just isn't true,in fact, the US and s backward in so many ways. Wake up Americans. Your country is a for profit corporation and there is no system in place to protect the individual citizen or to keep you healthy.
Almost everything is bioengineered. Look for nonGMO project verified.
I think GMO foods are a lesser concern than other issues with food
I came across your channel a few months ago. Started reading labels and following your advice. In 5 months I lost 30 pounds and my blood pressure returned to normal. Thanks for the advice.
I used to have carpel tunnel syndrome and did research and found out that yellow number 5 was one cause, checked products and pain stopped.

So true .. i am from trinidad and we follow the American way of food .. Bobby has highlighted a problem that has always rang in my mind . People when you buy these things you are DOWNPAYING on health problems for you and your family. Go organic or just make simple meals at home . Trust me . Live green people !🌏🌎🌍
Hello from Trinidad.
This 💯
Great video. I’ve been telling people about these ingredients for 25 years, people still eat them. Then they wonder why they are fat and sick.
You're right! Some people don't want to give up their bad eating habits! I gave up a lot of bad eating habits including my Frosted Flakes!'😃😃😃
I’ve said this for years and people thought I was crazy!
I noticed skinny people are sick as well 😔
@Tired of the Ignorance and Delusions agreed
This man is a life saver!! I wish I was educated on these type of things growing up!
I knew about Mt. Dew. Years ago a foreign exchange student that was staying with friends told us that it was banned in Denmark.
So good to keep being reminded and educated about US food standards. Crazy how food prices are soaring and people are paying so much money to poison themselves. Thanks for pointing out how Hunt's offers a better option minus the high fructose. I haven't drank soda or electrolyte enhanced drinks in years. In the US it's all about false advertising and selling making top profits for cheap ingredients that harm your body. Keep it up Bobby and Brad.
I cared for a child that was allergic to red dye no.5. I had to read ingredient lists for everything she ate. While she was in my care at sunday school, another teacher tried to give me food, and I had to stop them before she ate it. The child was upset, but her parents were grateful that I stopped her.
Thank you for doing these videos! I’ve learned so much over the past years watching all your videos. I’ve changed the way I cook and always look out for those bad ingredients. Also Slowly I’ve stopped buying the bad stuff for my kids and give them better & healthier choices. Keep those videos coming. Much love from Texas ☺️
"Slowly" has been the key here too. They all like most of the new things I have introduced, but even my husband can get whiney about missing his "favorites."
Same here! My family has adopted healthier eating habits from watching these videos. Keep up the good work for your family.
Yes indeed ..thanks for smart heroes such as this video.,
We. need to be wise and pay special attention to what we eat or drink...
I for one feel lucky for being the way I am..never really cared for any kind of drink which is sweet but plain mineral water and seltzer wzter..mix soda with water for thirst...
Why is it that people can't practice moderation
I have a love/hate relationship with this channel. I love all the info and I'm really soaking it in and making alot of good changes but hate it because it exposed me to all the bad foods I've been eating and loved lol
I live in Germany and when I saw that Coke bottle I frantically checked my little Coke bottle next to me and was glad relived to see that it uses Sugar instead of Corn Syrup.
One thing that I noticed when my brother brought candies from his trips to the US is, that sweets are a LOT sweeter than what we are used to here in Germany. I have a sweet tooth but when I ate American chocolate I could really taste nothing but sugar and some odd flavoring, I think it was Hershey's, it really didn't taste anything like the chocolate I'm used to.
That is not to say that I've such a perfekt diet, I'm just slowly beginning to eat smarter and I just started pretty recently to do so.
Very true
True--everything of yours is superior-food wise anyway. Germany got me in the habit of fresh flowers all the time--roses in my case. I still have my high quality German.made clothes.
I can agree that pastries, for example, that I grew up eating in southern Spain ( am American by birth) are half as sweet as what you will find in the U.S. Am watching this video for first time😀.
You are so right. We went to Mexico on vacation, and they had European style dessert there. Our friends didn't like them. I could t figure out why. I ate them and they were delicious. But I did notice that they were a lot less sweet. Still enough to taste really good. But I didn't feel like I was eating pastry soaked in honey... lol...
While I have never been to Germany, a college friend once gave us Kinder Surprise eggs. I prefer those to the Kinder Joys in the US.
I'm from the Bronx but I live in Rome. I can't imagine eating American food after living here for over a decade. People in the US don't understand they are not eating real food. They're eating corporate genetically modified products masking as food. They put a sponge product in American bread used in yoga mats😳I buy fresh bread from the bakery every morning. And you wonder why people in your country are sick with cancer, diabetes high blood pressure etc🤯
Those sodas 🤮🤮 Water all day long. People need to read labels, get informed and take charge of their own health!
Yeah but which water? It's all contaminated with plastics or chemicals no matter where you turn...smh
@@earthdaddy I hear you for sure. I use a Brita pitcher for filtration and it's amazing! They have really improved, the water tastes great.
Organic green tea is a good choice.
@@ukrocksounds3419 but what water you gonna use to make it??? Boiling doesn't purify water of everything harmful unfortunately.
You missed the Propylene Glycol in the Chick-fil-A sauce. Its basically antifreeze
Seriously? Ahhhh!
And in the Robitussin cough syrup... Among other items.
It is anti-freeze.
@@katiedid1851 Salt, sugar, beets juice, glycerin are also antifreeze, what't the point?
Antifreeze is 100% propylene glycol..as stated.
You shouldn't suppress coughs!! That's your body trying to move excess mucus. Most often extra mucus and coughs are caused from seasonal allergies. If you suppress the cough the mucus sits, causes infection, and makes you sicker for longer.
You are absolutely correct...that said, if it's use for throat "strain" talking too much...it's ok to help the body along. But I will stress you are absolutely correct!
My Mom used to take medicine whenever she was sick and would always get annoyed with me because I didn’t push medicine(I was sick A LOT growing up, bronchitis, pneumonia) on my kids. I refused because I’ve noticed that now that I’m older medicine doesn’t work that well for me. Unfortunately my Moms mom also pushed medicine. My point I guess is that my Mom passed away at 60, and her mom at 53.
@@citrinequeentarotnspells9587 oh honey so sorry...that's really young! I'm the same way...I do use pharmaceuticals and my mom who is sick with Parkinson's and depression says the natural meds don't work. But she never takes them longer that 3 days. 😖
@@deachristiancatlady5435 exactly. My dad who is 73 makes fun of me for eating kale and drinking kombucha, but he has finally realized taking medicine isn’t good for him. He takes his blood pressure medicine when he needs to and he has actually fought of diabetes and his cholesterol is pretty low considering he is about 350-400lbs. Course my dad never touched a drug or alcohol in his life and was raised on natural foods fr.
Interestingly, for artificial colors, the opposite happened with Irn-Bru from Scotland. They couldn't export it to the states because of a couple controversial dyes, one of which is "Ponceau 4R." Since 2002 a different formula has been available here, but the drink is still hard to find without ordering it online (or attending the Highland Games here in Portland.)
We need to start a petition to ban these bad ingredients Bobby.
This is why, when you're shopping at Walmart, you see so many Ghoulish/Crazed-looking/Zombie-like shoppers. Look in their carts and you'll see the "Grim Reaper's" shopping list.
Oh my I never even thought about dye in cough syrup. Thrive market here I come
They make dye free cough syrups/ibuprofen. As well as organic medicines.
The caffine in Coke ( and most sodas and energy drinks) is also make from Coal tar, which i believe is a byproduct of natural gas. Oh and look up a Coke label in Mexico, it's awesome. On the label they don't recommend it for children and stress that it has excess sugar
Food Babe has been amazing at getting companies in America to remove harmful chemicals and to expose all of them!
yes she has!
Had never heard of her. Thank you for the recommendation, @Klimt Kahlo!
The food babe is a quack who has been called out many times by scientist for saying extremely inaccurate things. When you point this out to her she immediately bans you instead of trying to defend her untrue statements.
@@Ryan_DeWitt Is it out of the realm of possibility that the scientists could be quacks themselves? I mean I've seen COUNTLESS scientists called quacks when going completely left on a mainstream narrative. Even one of my relatives, Jacques Cinq-Mars had to learn this the hard way.
This channel was key in helping me prep to get through the ‘world situation ver 1.0’ -now I keep buying those kinds of safe products, which has been easy to do since during world situation ver 2.0, people are buying all the junky foods-so all the healthy ones are still in stores. Ty for all u do guys! Going to check out Thrive Market now.
Profit before people's health...makes me sick (literally).
I am so happy I found your channel. Now I actually read ingredients before I buy anything. Thank you for keeping us informed. I share your videos with my friends all the time as well. I think people need to make some lifestyle changes ASAP especially the American consumer.
You would think the opposite is true since we are a more advanced country but when profit comes first then it makes total sense. Thanks for sharing.
All industrialized nations in North America, Europe, and Asia are experiencing more diabetes, heart disease, and cancers! Fast food and processed crap have infiltrated every country on the planet!
It’s all about money 💰the more advanced a country is, the worse it will be because corporations get too greedy and the government lets them get away with a lot of things, U.S. leads the world with health issues for a reason.
Its all about the Benjamin's! Our country is going down the toilet.
You’re an angel just saving lives everyday! My grocery cart was literally empty after watching your videos because I was doing it all wrong. I watched many of your videos and rewrote my entire grocery list and I’m not deprived just wiser. God bless you! Thank You!
The best food is homegrown if at all possible, and homemade with exclusively one ingredient items. No mixes, no fancy packaging. Just the way your great grandparents would have eaten.

Are you actually suggesting we eat real food, instead of food-like products? Shocking!!!
i've lived abroad in spain the last 3 years and it's crazy how fresh the food is!! i remember one of the first things i had was canned chickpea soup (tired and just arrived airbnb dinner lol) and i was so shocked at how homemade it tasted i couldn't believe it. no weird chemical sounding ingredients in almost everything here. even junk food like cheetos has actual flavor. the european heinz ketchup is defintely better. much richer tomato flavor and not coyingly sweet. it's really not fair that corporations can do what they do but they have money and wield politcal power to write laws to protect them. hopefully we the consumers can change that in the future
Omg I clicked so fast. BHT caused seizures in our German Shepherd. It's in Milk Bones. His seizures stopped when we cut those bad treats out
YazmanianD, I switched whole carrots in place of the milk bones and my dog loved them!
@@peggyhiggins6923
Some cats love baby carrots, or just give them the softer bottom of the fresh root to chew on.
Some people get seizures from the lack of magnesium in their diets, might be true for our pets as well. Look up the food sources, and see what is missing on your dinner plates.
@@peggyhiggins6923 Yes!! Our dog likes carrots now too. Took him a bit though. He was more of a green bean kinda dude😅
@@heidimisfeldt5685 Oh wow I didn't know that! Thanks for the info.
We need to boycott these foods. If people don’t buy them they will change and put safer ingredients in their products.
Thanks for raising this important issue Bobby. I moved back to the UK last year after 15 years in Chicago (ironically in Lakeview - on Oakdale - so I get homesick for Chicago & TJs whenever I see your older videos!) I downloaded your app when I lived there, so it shocked me how many things you warn about, we just don’t have in the UK. For example, when I moved back to Oxford, I kept looking for grass-fed/finished meat - only to realise almost all meat over here is grass-fed, which is why it’s not written on the labels. It’s the default. Same with chlorinated chicken and GMO. We literally don’t allow them here. I still have to look out for many dodgy ‘natural flavourings’, oils & preservatives, so your app is open constantly - but it’s sad to know the FDA isn’t protecting its own citizens. Glad to know you are, though... :)
I love when Bobby is talking to us about something and you see Brad just chilling in the background. Like he's waiting to move on to the next thing. 😂
I started watching him years ago because I love little Rosie but I can't help but love this whole family!
Money is more important for them & not our health. That's sad. Is there a way we can change this Bobby.
STOP BUYING IT AND TELL EVERYONE ELSE TO TOO
This video reminds me how different the food was in Italy living there 2008 to 2021. Please do an Italy comparison video in the future. They don't use the junk allowed in the USA in do many foods. It feels like paradise.
Thank you! Thank you! Finally someone did a video on this. Could you do another video for other foods that seem healthy but contain those harmful ingredients? A lot of the things are junk foods, and I think most people who follow/subscribe to your channel probably don’t eat/drink that. Keep up the great work!!! I really appreciate your efforts in educating and warning us about the constant food traps we have to maneuver and try staying ahead of the new ‘IT’ harmful ingredient used in our foods. :)
I am learning so much from your videos. I was aware of dies and BHT preservatives and all the documentaries exposing the food industry. I am grateful you give us options to substitute. Thank you so much!
I learn so much from your videos. It is so upsetting how all these things are banned elsewhere but still here because they cut costs and that a lot of people don't realize it. After watching this video I noticed one of my work snacks had BHT. The snack I am eaten is commonly given to kids in school. So frustrating
Omg, you named a lot of foods that I still eat…thank God for your channel. I’m making a change and I’m so grateful I have help from your videos. Thank you!
Bobby which foods are good for long term storage in long-term food preps? Could you please do a video on that?
I am. I was just diagnosed with diabetis. No knowledge at all abt what i can eat n not eat. Started following Bobby and learning. Thank you, Bobby. So much more to learn.
The food coloring is very noticable in children. My son wasn't allowed candy until he was older. The first time he ate red licorice he projectile vomited, then I noticed that when he had a red freezy he became very difficult he was usually a very easy-going Sweet child but when he ate the red freezy he was angry and difficult from that point forward I only let him have the clear freezies and have warned other parents about the red dye. Red dye can be the cause of behavioral issues in children.
My daughter breaks out in hives if she has Red 40. All the colorings are bad.
Is it any wonder that we have more children on the Spectrum than ever in history.
As a teacher, I could tell if jello or punch was served in the cafeteria.
This goes to another point - What is the excuse for the poison they feed our kids in school?
I'm from the UK but now live in France, when I visited the USA I thought things tasted weird but I couldn't put my finger on it, now I know why. Great video let's hope the powers that be might make the same changes in the USA that they have here. They already know how to do it
Bobby is Super, man! Everyone share this on their social media and contacts in your phone! Help Bobby save this country!
Well Bobby has once again shown how important it is to read the label...
Now I finally understand. Growing up in Germany Fanta was my absolute favorite drink in the world then I moved to the states and at first I didn’t even recognize the Fanta I wondered why the Fanta in Europe was a light yellow color but here it’s this dark orange color and it tastes horrible here compared to the European version so now I know it’s because the European one had natural color hence why it was so light and here it has artificial color hence why it’s so dark and the other huge difference obviously that I did know about before is that over there it’s made with sugar here it’s made with high fructose corn syrup. On the very rare occasion I drink soda these days it’s only if it’s the pepsi made with “real sugar” it’s so sad that here it has to be a selling point to say it’s made with “real sugar”. So the end result of the American Fanta being so much more synthetic is that it tastes nowhere near as good as its European counterpart which is nowhere near as synthetic.
You’re a Great Guy thank you for your very important Health information you should run for FDA office to represent us the population and our Health May God Bless you keep up the Great work...
BHA and BHT were banned in the 70s. I remember. I dont know when that changed. They also banned a certain red dye in the 70s or 80s. That was in red M&Ms etc. In the 70s I knew that. Hydrogenated palm kernal oil was bad and I thought they did away with most of it but it is still in tons of processed food especially at the dollar stores.
I remember all that too. There must have been a lot of money changing hands to get that back in our food.
I remember that too. I am highly allergic to red food dye.
Thanks so much for these videos, and keeping us informed! Huge fan always!!
The food industry feeds the huge health care system which has been growing at an obscene rate. Two different hospitals near me have been in a fierce competition both expanding rapidly over the last 20 years and continues to build new facilities on a regular basis
Bobby, Thank you for all of your review videos! Before I found your channel, I liked to think I have a fairly good grasp on the good and bad. But you have educated me a lot and influenced my grocery shopping immensely. Plus, I share with friends & family as much as they will listen. 🙂
I wish you talked about MSG and its derivatives such as disodium inosinate. In my twenties I started developing extreme migraines to the point where I was paralyzed on one side of my body and it was very scary. I'd never had migraines before. When I explain this problem to a friend he said that a friend of his had the same problem which came from MSG. I realize that all of the episodes I had or following eating Asian food which likely had contained MSG. I started to avoid eating MSG and preparing certain foods that have MSG with alternative ingredients at home. But, I was still getting the same reactions. I finally started looking at the labels and researching what was in the products I was using and one of those included disodium inosinate. At the time of doing this research about 20 years ago I found out that these substances were banned in other countries because they created a lot of problems for people. These substances are neurotransmitters and are bad news. I noticed that they were in canned vegetables, soups, and basically anything savory at the grocery store. It was horrifying to me that MSG was being masqueraded as another substance and added to practically everything. I know that fewer restaurants now use MSG and I've noticed disodium inosinate used less in processed and other Foods. However they're in hundreds if not thousands of products in the grocery store and maybe affecting people in ways that they are not aware of. I have yet to see anybody address this, and would love to see perhaps even entire episode devoted to this because it is a big problem and needs to be exposed.

I use coke to clean rusty metal. No joke, it's mostly phosphoric acid and it works great for this purpose. I rarely ever drink any soda cuz it's poison.
When I was a dental assistant in the Army, the doc extracted a perfect sound tooth 🤯. No way to re-root... We put the tooth in a cup of Coke ( original recipe, it was 1976) , anyway, 4 days later the tooth was just some sludge in bottom of cup.

@@simonmessenger7217 So are Humans.
I moved from the good old UK to America 3 years ago and I'm struggling with the food standards here. I've never even seen some of the ingredients listed and shopping takes longer than it usually would. I've resorted to ordering food from back home, the cost is astronomical but health comes first. The reason the food is so bad in the USA is because you guys pay for your medical. In the UK we have the National Health Service so its in their interest to give us healthy food and keep us out of hospitals unlike the system here.
In Canada they just mention "Colour" on sports drinks. Another way to hide the ingredients.

I lived in Mexico for about 3 months at first my body was rejecting all the food there but one week later I started feeling better and eventually lost all sorts of weight.Came back to the USA gain it all back really fast
I don’t understand why this video hasn’t gone viral.
Consider sharing with friends and family! : )
Because "they" control what goes viral.
Most Americans don't care about what they consume. Thankfully I care about what I consume and none of the things in this video are things that I consume anyways.
The European motor oil standards are also higher than ours. And they say pasta in Italy is made with healthier flour than pasta we buy here.
Awesome, love your videos! I think bvo is what musta caused my hypothyroidism, I used to drink a lot of mountain due growing up! Wow wish I had these videos when I was younger. Great job on these videos a real help for the public! God bless you
I was raised in Germany, when I came to the US i had stomach problems every time I ate, I thought it was anxiety trying to get used to another country, I learn fast what it was, I am always skeptical but I do read labels, the FDA sucks 😞
Apppreciate EVERY SINGLE video & the time you put into them. Thank you😉
The problem of the USA is how lobbyists are allowed to put pressure and bribe congressmans and then stop the FDA from doing their job.
Lobbying has its limit in Europe and the food agencies do their job.
It’s time for the American customers to ask for a return on their tax money and demand the FDA and USDA to do what they supposed to do
Awesome video. We need to spread more awareness to people of what they’re eating and drinking!! The fact that they allow these harmful chemicals in our food is absolutely sickening (literally) thanks for sharing! Always love your videos! ❤️
If you purchase coke soda just purchase the ones in the glass bottles that come from Mexico and they are still made with sugar and in CA they are easy to find.
Cosco too
@@hairdresser1300 Yea I get the packs from Costco, price a bit higher but they taste better.
Thanks Bobby for literally saving lives with these videos. I never comment but you sir are doing heavens work here on earth. Keep it up!
***Question @Bobby Parrish - I get GI issues from maltodextrin and so I bought Laird's Superfood creamers but I was getting the same issues. I double checked the label and it has maltodextrin :( NOt on the US label, which was why I bought it...but when the label is transferred into Canadian standards the coconut milk powder has to be broken down and it has maltodextrin. My question - will my body adapt? Thanks so much :)
Maltodextrin doesn't agree with some people. Its inclusion in a food like that would be unfortunate. I am unfamiliar with this situation, but not properly labeling food with all the ingredients is illegal in the US and irresponsible as well.
There was also an inorganic mineral (calcium or magnesium) in one of Laird's products. It was part of the Aquamins minerals he used. Inorganic minerals can be too hard for some people to break down.
Thank you for all the videos! The videos are very helpful and informative. Since 2015, I had my left kidney removed do to cancer. I looked at the labels and had no idea what to look for, but now I do. For the most part I stay away from boxed, canned, frozen foods, sodas and sports drinks. Now I realize I need to check condiments, and personal care products as well.
Really love your advice. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
