About this episode
We discuss how important it is to actually investigate what they’re putting inside your food. We also talk about the corruption that has infiltrated our major food markets and pharmaceutical industry, and discuss ways that we can protect ourselves from these toxins. https://thefirmamentalpodcast.com/ [email protected]. Devon’s Email [email protected]. California Bill Health
California is the first state in the nation preparing to ban five food additives found in many processed foods and candies and that have been linked to hormone disruption, cancer, and other health problems. Assembly Bill 418, which has been called the “Skittles Bill” because the ingredients are found in popular candies such as Skittles, Sour Patch Kids, and Hot Tamales, targets the use of red dye No 3, titanium dioxide, brominated vegetable oil, potassium bromate, and propyl paraben
· Red dye No. 3: also known as E127 or RF7C Red No. 3. It has been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals when used in high doses. The Food and Drug Administration has known since the 1980’s that red dye No. 3 causes thyroid cancer in animals, which lead to the organization banning the dye from cosmetics in 1990. Yet the dye is still used in food, especially candies, and has been linked to hyperactivity in children.
· Titanium dioxide: used to make some foods whiter, such as cottage cheese, coffee creamer, white sauces, chewing gum, and cake frostings. It contains nanoparticles, which makes it easy for them to damage cells. A recent study has linked titanium dioxide to a greater risk of colon cancer.
· Potassium bromate: strengthens dough and is commonly used in bread and other baked goods. It has already been banned in the European Union, Canada, and many other countries. A 2023 research article notes that prolonged regular consumption of breads containing this additive is associated with an increased risk of cancer.
· Brominated vegetable oil: a plant-derived triglyceride mixture that helps prevent separation of ingredients in some beverages, especially those containing citrus. Animal studies suggest it can cause reproductive and behavioral problems when consumed at high doses. It’s been shown to cause rash, acne, fatigue, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and cardiac arrhythmias.
· Propyl paraben: a preservative that has shown in a recent study published in Endocrinology to disrupt hormones. The Environmental Working Group notes that propylparaben, which can be found in various baked desserts and tortillas, can alter gene expression and affect fertility.
According to independent consultant and food additives researcher
Maricel Maffini, none of the chemicals named in the California bill are necessary for food uses. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/l98oam/american_evil_tycoon_and_philanthropist_john_d/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button https://youtu.be/1fDWZjvNUC8?si=Vc376SXBqTUiHBN2
