Did you know that Kraft Macaroni and Cheese is formulated differently in Europe than that in the U.S.? This fact recently surfaced while I was doing an investigative search, I was livid!
I’ve been teaching, lecturing, and reporting about the dangers of food additives for over 15 years, and to think that other countries have been successful in forcing manufacturers to remove harmful ingredients, and in the U.S. we haven’t been, is mind-boggling.

extremely interesting... thanks so much for bringing it to our attention... already went and signed the petition...

The United States is one of the worst about stuff like this. Other countries ban dangerous chemicals and dyes, but we keep happily giving them to our citizens.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think they want us to get sick so we spend more money on pharmaceuticals. I swear, it makes me wonder sometimes.
I've researched this type of thing so much because preservatives and dyes are targeted in ADHD and some autistic kids as problematic.
It makes me so angry.
