American companies are selling one set of ingredients here and another one overseas

Vani Hari, the Food Babe: "We have American companies selling one set of ingredients here and another one overseas. The one overseas has safer, better ingredients, and the one here in the United States has more toxic ingredients. And these are for the exact same products that they're selling.

These aren't like new versions of the product or new product inventions. This is like Froot Loops here and Froot Loops over there. And it's really disheartening when you see this black and white ingredient label and you notice the differences in how an American company can choose to serve their own American citizens less safe ingredients.

In Europe, about 20 years ago, they started requiring a warning label on products that says may cause adverse effects on activity and attention in children when a manufacturer used an artificial dye these companies didn't wanna put the warning label on their products.

So they voluntarily removed all of the petroleum artificial food dyes that are linked to hyperactivity in children, autoimmune disorders, allergens. They are linked to cancer in rat studies. So they removed all of that and chose to use real ingredients like paprika, turmeric, carrot juice, watermelon juice, blueberry juice.

And they know that their product causes harm because they voluntarily removed those chemicals. So they're liable for this information. They know they've been hurting American children for 20 years now, since they found this information out in the Southampton study that was so groundbreaking in Europe, and they choose to keep doing this.

And I feel like everyone should say that they've had enough. I mean, the fact that we allow our own American companies to do this to us is insane. And anybody trying to argue this, I don't see an argument on the other side. They already do it.

They already have the formulations. They don't have to reinvent the wheel. It's not like we're asking them to do something hard. This is literally just serving us the same ingredients they serve other countries. I mean, Fruit Loops sold in Europe, in Australia, in Canada, in India even, have better ingredients than their own American children."
