(Natural News)—A coalition of activists, doctors and thought leaders gathered at a Senate Roundtable in Washington DC recently to discuss how ingredients in the food supply are impacting the health of Americans. They spoke to congressional leadership about the abysmal state of American health, and went in depth about the cancer-causing chemicals in agriculture, the poisons in the food supply, the corruption in the healthcare industry, among many other serious issues.
The round table, hosted by Senator Ron Johnson, was titled, American Health & Nutrition: A Second Opinion. Those who testified included: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Dr. Jordan Peterson, Calley Means, Dr. Chris Palmer, Dr. Marty Makary, Max Lugavere, Dr. Casey Means, Grace Price, Courtney Swan, Alex Clark, Jason Karp, Brigham Buhler, Mikhaila Fuller, Jillian Michaels, and Vani Hari. The coalition testified about their own experiences taking on personal health challenges while confronting medical orthodoxy and the industries that intentionally poison the food supply for profit.
These are serious discussions that will impact the future of children’s health – discussions that should be expanded and acted upon, to ultimately alter the chronic disease epidemic that is currently ravaging the country.
Toxic chemicals are intentionally put in American products to addict consumers and boost corporate profits
One of the speakers – Vani Hari – talked about overcoming her health challenges and questioning the American food supply. Vani has been a clean food activist for over a decade and started her own company offering clean products. In her speech, she called out American food corporations for manufacturing products that are drastically more toxic in America, while selling the same products in Europe, but with far less toxic ingredients.
Vani called out the “unethical policies of American food companies” that insist on selling “safer versions of their products in other countries, while selling our own citizens ingredients that are heavily regulated or banned abroad.”
The American version of these products often contain artificial dyes, BHT and MSG which are linked to endocrine disruption, infertility, neurological dysfunction and cancer. The American products have a longer shelf life because they contain chemical preservatives. The American products are also intentionally designed to be more addictive, but the chemicals used to trick consumers into eating more are toxic and linked to brain damage.
For example, Gatorade Zero Fruit Punch in the U.S. contains caramel color and Red 40, while the German version doesn’t contain either toxin. The alternative versions sold in Europe are colored with natural pigments from fruits and vegetables.
McDonald’s French fries contain 11 ingredients in the United States, but only contain 3 ingredients in the UK. One of the ingredients in the U.S. version is dimethylpolysiloxane, a foaming agent preserved with neurotoxic formaldehyde. By using this foaming agent, McDonald’s workers do not have to change out the cooking oil as often, boosting corporate profits at the expense of consumer health.
Food corporations should be subject to stringent regulations to protect Americans’ health
With these revelations now going mainstream, American food corporations must consider providing Americans with the same products they sell to Europeans. To hold these corporations accountable, LEGISLATION should be written at the federal level, complete with scientific citations documenting the harms that these dyes, flavor chemicals and preservatives cause. This legislation should mandate that American food products be free of brain-damaging, endocrine-disrupting and cancer-causing ingredients.
A database of all the toxic ingredients could readily be compiled, along with a product list that includes these toxic ingredients. Future regulatory pressure should incentivize sweeping changes to the American food supply, providing strict deadlines for food manufacturers to eliminate toxins and reformulate their products. If mass harm can be proven for an individual ingredient, and a corporation refuses to remove it from their products, then they should be prosecuted in a court of law for injuring Americans’ health. A restructured FDA must be equipped to enforce new regulations on an industry that is causing health problems across generations. These actions could help break up monopolies and allow smaller, clean food companies to compete in the marketplace as well.
