5 Chemicals That Are in (Almost) Everything You Eat
Video taken from the channel: SciShow
Food manufacturers add butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) to foods like cereal and other dry goods to help their fats stay fresher longer. Both BHA and BHT are antioxidants, which means they can protect other compounds from the damaging effects of oxygen exposure. In a way, BHA and BHT are similar to vitamin E, which is also an antioxidant and often used as a preservative as.The FDA says BHA is safe (at least at the levels they prescribe for foods), but data from the National Toxicology Program says it’s likely a carcinoge.The food industry generally prefers to use BHA and BHT because they remain stable at higher temperatures than vitamin E, but products in the natural food section of your grocery.
According to the company who produces it, “The antioxidant activity of BHT (Food Grade) can be transferred to baked products if it is used as an antioxidant in the shortenings used in their manufacture” (see source #2). You body can metabolize it (#6) and its affects are due to exposure accumulation.Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and the related compound butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) are phenolic compounds that are often added to foods to preserve fats and oils and keep them from becoming rancid. They are added to food, cosmetics, and packing of products that contain fats to maintain nutrient levels, color, flavor, and odor.BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are widely used by the food industry as preservatives, mainly to prevent oils in foods from oxidizing and becoming rancid.
Oxidation affects the flavor, color and odor of foods and reduces some nutrients. BHA and BHT may have some antimicrobial properties, too.In fact, you can find BHA and BHT in potato chips, some cereal, frozen sausages, enriched rice, lard, shortening, candy, jello to name a few.
BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are antioxidants added to many processed foods. The main way BHA and BHT work is by preventing fats from going rancid.Two of the additives on the list are butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and its chemical cousin butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). Both of these additives are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) by the FDA, but BHT recently made headlines for being a potentially harmful additive found in many popular breakfast cereals.
The food additive BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), alone or in combination with other antioxidants permitted in this subpart B may be safely used in or on specified foods, as follows: (a) The BHT meets the following specification: Assay (total BHT) 99 percent minimum. (b) The BHT is used alone or in combination with BHA, as an antioxidant in.They have been phased out of some foods, such as many potato chips, but are common in packaged baked foods and fatty frozen foods. BHA and BHT are sneaky additives because you’ll still find them in packaging for cereal and candy, even if they aren’t listed on the label as ingredients. Vitamin E is used as a safer substitute to preserve freshness.Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a chemical cousin to BHA that is also listed as “generally recognized as safe.” It, too, is added to food as a preservative.
The two compounds act synergistically and are often used together. BHT is not a listed carcinogen, but some data have shown that it.The most common use for BHT is as a preservative in the food industry in the US.
It has been generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), are chemicals and synthetic compounds that are used for various reasons. They look like a white crystalline solid and is used by manufacturers to preserve cereals and keep other foods fresh.BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are antioxidants added to many processed foods. The main way BHA and BHT work is by preventing fats from going rancid.Are they safe?
Well, they’re approved for use as a preservative at small doses.BHA, BHT and/or TBHQ aren’t added to the packaging to keep the cereal from spoiling. It’s actually added to keep the box from spoiling.
As you stated, BHA and BHT slows down the oxidization of fats and oils. It keeps them from going rancid.

Akc partners with purina on research what a joke. Most breeders I know personally feed raw or home cooked. I am sure they are a small % but their numbers are growing mainly because of the cancer rates with commercially fed dogs. If it is true that Legumes increase arthritis pain in humans is it true for dogs? Last I knew the best nutrition research was coming out of Norway is this still true?
:O
you should write down the words in the video next time
Sometimes I know something’s bad when I read it, but when people say it I have not idea wut it is haha
https://www.petfoodindustry.com/blogs/10-debunking-pet-food-myths-and-misconceptions needs to be in the video description. Ryan Yamka is the Bob Woodward of the pet industry!
If you go into it, you find at least 20-30 additives that NOBODY would even think of putting close to their mouths if they knew what they are, but people ignore the labels, and even if they read them, they usually don’t know what those words mean, and are too lazy to check out. The higher the amount of additives used in foods all around the world, the higher the percentage of cancer and other types of diseases…its not hard to connect the two when you have some statistical data.
You are what you eat you will die for the things u eat daily
Dihydrogen monoxide is in every processed food you buy. It’s also in organic food! It’s a big word I don’t understand so I’m afraid of it.
Great podcast! My family have been breeding boxers for 20+yrs(hobby breeder, 6 dogs), we call ourselves ‘simi-raw’ feeders, that is around 25%-35% commercial kibble mix with raw meat. The reason for the kibble is mostly convenience. I can’t stop thinking if our dogs could have lived longer with just raw.
I read the abstract of the one article she referenced. It says that they gave 10 mg/kg (which is inside the Acceptable Daily Intake of 40 mg/kg suggested by JECFA, but way higher than normal intake 2-6 mg/kg as stated in the article) was given to adult male rats and they found formaldehyde formation from aspartame in their body, and they also gave rats 200 mg/kg (way above ADI) and found higher formaldehyde formation. That was it. It showed NO TOXICITY in the rats at all (because they killed the rats after 6 hours of giving them aspartame. Just that the metabolites in the blood were slightly off. They used the t test to show statistical difference AMONG 5 categories. That is not how statistics work. They should have used ANOVA. So we can’t tell for sure if the metabolite readings were really different just from the paper.
The most important part: They claim that use of aspartame over a long period of time can lead to accumulation of formaldehyde in the body which can lead to loss of protein, DNA integrity, and can lead to cell death. But in their experiment setup, there was no way of detecting accumulation. They said if today this much radioactive C is added (which indicated formaldehyde) that means in the last 10 days that much times 10 formaldehyde adducts would have accumulated. BUT THEY NEVER MEASURED ACCUMULATED LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE. The study itself says they found no signs of acute toxicity and are predicting that consumption of aspartame at high levels over a very long period of time this may lead to something. There is no evidence that is the case.
To put it in perspective, this study is almost 20 years old now. So even with new, improved methods there hasn’t been any real evidence of aspartame being harmful.
very impressive video! http://www.thefoodadditives.com has all food additives the show mentioned!
I wouldn’t consider any animal products a good idea, by consuming lactose, lactic acid & other animal byproducts we support the animal food industry. Producing animal products uses around 70% more land & loads of energy. Our world consumes too fast & with our huge population it’s wise to cut out as many animal products as possible especially if not organic and not from local farms. U can help save forests & starving countries. also we can reduce pollution by using local products.
I get migraines from Red 40…. I have to avoid many foods due to migraines, but this is one the bane of my existence!!!!
Texture, we have a word for mouth feel, it’s called texture… as how it feels, because I don’t want a doctor to ask me when I poo how was my a$$ feel. or have to say, finger feel of wood is smooth
edmondov: Yeah, I know. I guess the only way is to do it yourself…:-)
haha, I sound like an idiot, Okay buddy, you do what you want, you can call me an idiot, but you are the one who wants to preserve food with nuclear materials. hah, I’ll stick to the perfect natural products that God made, not some moron on youtube saying TRUST ME, IT’S SAFE! I’M A CERTIFIED EXPERT!!
Quite tampering with our food it’s taste like shit and the shelve life is way less due to taking preservatives out I notice these days I could order a pizza and keep it in the fridge for a few days now all foods seam to go bad right away
Grape flavored things do taste like grapes. Specifically, Concord grapes.
Carrageenan is horrible for you as well, it can cause cancer, gastrointestinal inflammation.
I’m a carnivore and only eat simple whole animal foods like eggs, different cuts of meat, raw cheese and organs. This doesn’t apply to me and I’m glad it doesn’t.
I’ve mixed Caustic Soda with Hydrochloric Acid and drank it. As long as you put the right amount of each together you end up with table salt and water.
Lol, and you know what? You’ll probably live to be a hundred years old. I often wonder if humans will develop an immunity from all these carcinogens and pollutants. I mean think about it frogs and cockroaches have survived these super fund areas and those places are filled with radioactive and super contaminated poisons.
Also..thank you so much for the way you present this information; the slides really are so helpful, I guess I am a concrete learner!:)
Most wine have sulfites. That is how they preserve it. If you know any affordable wine without it please let me know. thanks
edmondov: “Are you saying that I should avoid wine?”
No, I think she’s saying to avoid wines that contain sulfites.
He speaks too fast, why not read slowly here? https://thefoodadditives.com/Blog/
love this you do a fantastic job of making the information accessible and digestible (no pun intended).
Thank you for the information! I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis and started taking tart Cherry concentrate 800mg, I hope that this will work as well as the juice. I have done some reading and they find it does work the same.
I’ve tasted some grapes in Korea that taste like grape flavor.
… if you like to eat something… dont try to findout how it made!!!
cause you might just open up a whole new can of worm… or maybe it literally a can of worm!!!
Do you even know what science is? it is about recognizing patterns. Now you tell what were the long term results achieved from tests done on irradiated food?
I like crystal light and it has the artifical sweetners in it but I dont wanna drink soft drinks with sugar or highfructose cornsyrup so besides water what should i buy for my kids to drink? thanks
It’s so funny seeing all these people with blinders on. Noooo, they wont put anything BAD in your food. Nothing to worry about kids, go back to sleep
Everything you eat is become a part of you.
Even if it’s a poison… Like the snake’s poison.
But how you take the poison? What you do with it?
Here is a trick with snake’s poison right?

C. Thomas Wild About Inattentive ADHD https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/ADHD_Bulletin_Board/info Caffeine works for some with ADHD; food additives need better labels.
I feel like this video should be updated. I feel like some of the things listed as safe, they are finding that they might not be considered that anymore…
I heard drinking a cup of red wine every day is good for you.
Carageenan was used in a study where it caused pinhole leisions in the intestines of lab rats. I don’t put it in my body.
Then you have sodium citrate in almost all beverages like coke, pepsi, sprite, etc. Then sodium benzoate in a lot of drinks, which is fucked up in particular. Why? Because most of those drinks contain Vitamin C in them, and putting sodium benzoate and vitamin C together, creates a lot of dangerous stuff again. Then you have Monosodium glutamate in almost all snacks like flavored potato chips, chocolate, puddings, cookies, etc. Etc, etc, etc.
also vitamin water is horrible for you! there are no natural useable vitamines in it! natural vitamins are very expenstive because they are expensive to extract, vitamine water is full of synthetic, created in a lab vitamine substatues that your body cant use! causing arthritis in joints among other nasty effects!
I am a heart patient and I would benefit greatly from eating fish. Fish is loaded with good nutrients for my heart. Every package of frozen fish that I look at has way too much sodium for me to eat it. When I look at the ingredients, they all contain STPP. The STPP makes the sodium level five to ten times what it normally is. How can we be leaders in health and welfare of our people when we allow this wanton use of STPP just to make money on the unsuspecting consumers?
Saturated fat does not cause heart disease. This lie has been debunked.
But the FDA is a political organisation and so is subject to the institutionalised bribery known as lobbyism in America and just straight bribery everywhere else in the world.
Consumers must demand more natural healthier more organic substances in their food!
Perfectly set up industry and alliances.
Basic strategy:
1-Acquire credibility by hiring and paying vets and scientists
2Make pet owners feel ignorant regarding feeding a dog, directly descendant from wolves, essentially carnivores, and also opportunistic feeders.
3Make pet owners feel guilty if they provide dogs with natural fresh foods and instill fear that dogs may run into serious nutritional deficiencies.
4If the dog gets sick later (due to the poor quality in most commercial per food), the friendly vet will be making money treating your pet.
Feeding a dog natural fresh food is not difficult. It takes a little time and organization and depending on the quality some extra money.
The most difficult ingredient to supplement and add is calcium, but egg shells do the trick nicely. Just be mindful of portion control (depending on age and activity level) and add variety.
beef
turkey
chicken
lamb
eggs (and the shells)
sardines
liver/heart (chicken/turkey/veal)
brown rice/broccoli, carrots,
supplements if it makes you feel better: omega 3,6 oils (hemp seed/cod liver),
generally everything your dog needs is in these ingredients….
If you love your pet you feed it whole fresh foods (lightly cooked or raw).
If the dog is a tool for you and you prefer convenience, then feed it kibble, but be prepared to assume the health consequences.
ohh what do you think of those rinses you can buy for fruits n veggies are they good and do you advise them? I forgot what the name of it is. Thanks again.
just put citations in your description instead of reading stuff out we dont know about
I prefer to watch even longer videos that are informative and important yet most of us don’t know, like this video. but links to citations would be great!
I wonder if we need abortion in order to avoid everyone from evolving into morons? I wonder if we need the fear machine to kill most of us? Thoughts?
1:38 Does this mean grass is safe? And what does the other s mean?
Isn’t carrageenan the reason why chocolate milk is actually healthier for you than regular milk?
Lol
No, people need to stop being ignorant and say things like “Who the hell cares about animals?”, when they should be happy to recieve explanatory information that is given to them.
I once spilt some xanthan gum on my desk at home. Boy was that not fun to clean up.
I love how i know what Adsorbs means from a previous video of yours so when you said it here i felt smart lol.
I really love SciShow video’s. But will science ever be able to explain why your hair is only partially dyed?:) Seriously, i have been wondering this for a long time…
Dihydrogen monoxide known to the state of cancer to cause California is in everything we eat!!!
Humans ARE animals. So if you have an adverse effect in animals you would typically expect the same thing in humans.
you’re telling me jalapeños and habaneros are anti-inflammatory?
Can you also list out all of the food additives that you talked about in this video in your info section? The video does go through them fairly quickly and I’d like to be able to do my own research on them as well. Thank you.

>Every time I eat MSG I feel sick…
I heard that! I used to have a problem with my heart taking off suddenly as if I were running up a couple flights of stairs. Scary! I didn’t connect that problem to MSG until I stopped taking it for a few months. I realized a few months into it that my heart hadn’t gone nuts even once since then.
Then I backslid briefly and the heart problem came back. Since then I’ve stayed off it and haven’t had the problem for nearly a year.
@IMOZZA It’s more funny that you laugh at something because your an idiot…
Do you know why poor people exist?
Do you know how much money is worth?
Do you know that the richest people on earth have enough money to feed everyone or create a paradise here?
Do you know that your a fucking moron because you don’t realize they are NOT creating a paradise and they ARE using everyone as slaves.
And lastly…money isn’t worth shit.They print it,they need it to give you an excuse to do work for them.
Lovely Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried Millawdon Enemy Foods Trick (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good exclusive guide for learning how to detox the body from toxins minus the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my best friend Jordan after many years got cool results with it.
I think that, its okay to have chemicals in our food, because we preserve the environment and well, humans consume anything and everything in large portions, so we save some species. But at the same time…self preservation is also something that is favoured by the general public. As comforting as it is to know that I’m saving the environment, I would also like to make sure, my body isn’t suffering. Texture and taste, all good, but how exactly is my body affected. How does my body break down these chemicals, and what does it do to them! GRAS actually doesn’t make me feel to safe about the food I consume.
Also half of the food that we consume…we don’t need. Every animal lives simple lives with simple diets…except us! It’s one of those “we did it cause we could….not because we should” kind of things. As much as we love Cheetos, Oreos, Pringles, Doritos, movies popcorn etc. We don’t need them in our diets. We don’t NEED half the crap we eat. And I’m sure if we stick to the essentials…we save a lot, in general, less factories from being built, less unnecessary chemicals in our bodies, less money being spent…so idk. This video did give me some kind of relief that I am more aware of what goes in our food. But consumption…I’m still a bit skeptical about. But great vids., Love them, keep making me smarter cause school isn’t doing their one job…making my dumbass smarter! Love Scishow!!!
It can’t, or… Well, if you can smoke about 1 ton of cannabis in 15-20 minutes, then you would probably die, just check the LD50 number for THC.
There are always nay sayers. Some people actually think she’s doing this to make people cower in fear. If a little vid like this is making you paranoid, then I feel for you. It’s meant to inform and educate. She’s doing this to help. If you don’t like what she’s saying, then kindly go watch something else.
I have doubts if they speed up the vídeo on post production to make him talk faster and the vídeo shorter with the same content as the longer one…
This is extremely helpful, in a platform full of less informative videos, thank you!!
Very informative, and interesting. But please do not use green screen if you do not have someone to do it right. its very distracting.
I was expecting the five chemicals that are in all foods like hydrogen oxygen carbon etc
I would recommend avoiding sulfur dioxide. It’s a preservative found in some dried fruits, pickles, fillings etc. and can cause allergic reactions. Additionally, it can leave an unpleasant aftertaste like a chemical taste in the mouth which lingers. Always check the ingredients before buying.
Oats are not something that should be eaten often. I’m in the camp that doesn’t think Chia seeds are a health food, rather a inflammatory food. Flax oil is estrogenic so people who are estrogen dominate should be careful with flax and flax oil. Vitamin D is a hormone in the body not a vitamin, regular testing is needed. Magnesium 500 mg and potassium 4,700 mg are very important daily supplements!
I take all of these seriously and do have asthma BUT its so frustrating because being poor its hard to eat good sometimes and basically as you already know how in the heck do you get away from all of these I mean look at everything even fruit you buy at the store they put stuff on it too so how do we do all this realistically! I mean we really cant eat any food without getting some kind of crap in it lol but thanks for your vids Im learning alot and appreciate them.
great info as always. but the vid is abit too long. maybe add a link for the citations for those who care?
Thats why i go out and hunt for my own food no chemicals added no unknown substances that my body doesnt know about or need
So let’s go ahead and explore those other categories! We need to know it all
As my wise, oldest brother once said, “grape flavored things don’t taste anything like grape. It just tastes like purple. Its purple flavored.”
If your kid is eating something that shines red it is probably also eating lots of sugar, sugar is a highly stimulant and addicting drug what a surprise that they get cocaine hype from caloric cocaine (sugar)!!
cocacola-aspartame-cancer, cocacola -aspartame -cancer, cocacola-aspartame-cancer.I hope i was enough straight and clear.Usa N1 in cancer. Why? you know it now
I am surprised I am still alive because I have consumed a lot of these chemicals over the years
If we grew our foods and farmed more Locally,,we wouldn’t need all these damn preservatives harming everyone making them sicker…let’s stop the foolishness of global shipping of foods.
Nice video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you thought about Millawdon Enemy Foods Trick (search on google)? It is a good one of a kind guide for learning how to detox the body from toxins without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my close friend Aubrey at last got great success with it.
Thanks for the Video! Forgive me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried Millawdon Enemy Foods Trick (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great exclusive guide for learning how to detox the body from toxins minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my work buddy got cool success with it.
Eggs can’t legally be called healthy. Just an FYI. I highly recommend researching actual studies about eggs. Try again this video just officially became dog shit
“but let’s save that for another time” PLEASE MAKE THIS VIDEO!!!! The other time can be now…
and since every man is getting prostate cancer at one point of their life we should look at those things that are everywhere.
They put chemicals in food because the world is so over populated and they want to decrease the population a bit…… Atleast that’s what someone told me
Lol Teflon didn’t make the list? DuPont Teflon poison is in 99% of all living things cause its in everything we eat now!
I made art about this. I heard this chemicals with time causing deadly diseases. So these businesses really gong to do this to us???
Humans are not really animals? Or animal testing doesn’t really teach us anything about human physiology? Both are wrong.
That was an awesome breakdown, definitely want to hear about the other categories!
3:53 “Natural” should only be animal, plant and fungi products. Anything grown in a lab or made from bacteria, algae or such go into the artificial category.
This adhd kid had to attend Culinary Arts school and EMT training. Because personally I definitely react to dyes and various other additives. And by the way Algin in various forms is a much more digestible polysaccharide than carrageen. But almost everybody company chooses profit over health, sad.
So basically, don’t eat anything. Gotcha THiS iz what happens when U let “them” run tha world♂️
Only the Yamazaki Baking Co. still uses potassium bromate in their bread. No one else uses it here in Japan.
Very nice video,wish you all the best sub 69 done,like 5, keep it up,new friends here, lets stay connected
at least in my country and I think not only the most used preservative is acetic acid because it’s the cheapest and the most harmless existing preservative we know of and in top of that it doesn’t have terrible taste
I know your busy but Im a big fan of makeup and collect lots of it (im a makeup artist) but can you tell me ingredients in alot of it to stay away from that is dangerous for my skin if you know of any and I noticed you dont look like you wear it so can you help if you do anything with this type of stuff? I really would appreciate it again. I need to stay around for my 3 childern so I dont wanna be doing myself a injustice….thanks again love ya!
first time heard bout coco nut is bad for you…everyone else says its super healthy food and oil,comfused now…
Animal testing is not safe nor accurate to assume the human body is the same. Aspartame is deemed “safe” by the government… When heated to more than 86 degrees, human body is 98.6 degrees, aspartame releases free methanol which breaks down into formic acid and formaldehyde. Formaldehyde is a deadly neurotoxin. humans do not metabolise phenylalanine as efficiently as loswer species, such as mice and rodents, thus all aspartame studies based on animal research is completely useless…
Is Carrageenan actually safe? Theres studies supposedly that degraded Carrageenan can cause stomach problems.
But does our gut know the difference!? More specifically our gut bacteria
@Sunnybeach12 Dood, you say Fluoride is toxic (and it it) but then at the end you say you buy it. wtf? You have had too much!
Never trust our society because everyone else does. Wake up.
Yes, Think of something that humans have been eating long before modern society. Instead of chips or popcorn get almonds, raisins, strawberries, natural peanut butter, bananas, walnuts, pecans.
Basically, look at the ingredients of whatever you’re buying. If there is a lot of crap that you can’t pronouncedon’t buy it.
Example, when I buy my peanut butteri look at the ingredients list: Peanuts
keep it simple
We use fresh turmeric in our kale and blueberry shakes and in our Lemon Ginger Blast juice. About a half a thumb nob piece
It took me yeeeeears to understand why i had bowl problems. This year….I figured out i have an intollerance for Ascorbic Acid and Citric Acid. FML XD
I am not sure about the other E300-E330 numbers but fat chance I can’t handle those either…
please tell me what is safe to eat.i should i just blow my head off. an save then the time?
More garbage science for the cotton-candy crowd. It is brought to you by the same crew of annoying, pseudo-glib script readers.
Thank-you for this interview and enlightening info on dog food!!
Nitrites are the result of the nitrogen cycle and can be found in all bodies of water and even in your tap water.
Is it me or is the microphone a tad dodgy in this video?
Top video as always Radhia, top articles can be found on BioMed Central as well a top place for studies like this!
I am so happy with holistics now! I suggest taking Bambu coffee substitute!
People need to realize that big companies DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK about them and their health. They put all kinds of nasty dangerous things in the food we eat every day. Print out a list of all additives that are dangerous and carry it with you when you shop for food. Take care of yourself, because nobody else will. Number of people who get cancer increases as the number of additives in food increases.
I expected salt and sugar to be the two most used preservatives, but maybe I’m just old?
I used to watch all these videos… until all the “fear” based content started to hurt my head. I know you’d like us to all eat organic stuff, but not all of us are made of money.
True but after the EPA was founded the water quality standards were raised and only about 1 ppm of nitrites can be found in the average drinking water. thats the max allowable.
However in these deli meats its allowable to have up to 200 ppm of nitrites.
I’ll take my risks with tap water.
Hey Prof, do you know of any open-source databases of food chemical content? Something more than the USDA database?
Rodney, can you have Dr. Yamka back on again for an update? Learned a lot. Great information.
This video was extremely informative. Hard to believe I just found it today! I uploaded a video as well, discussing the issues I currently see with dog food today. I wish I would have seen this video first! Definitely, some interesting tools to add to the collection. I’m surprised by how under-rated the video. Only 1,222 views!
Cholesterol doesn’t cause inflation, your body produces it to fight inflammation. The firemen don’t cause the fire.
Here I thought this episode would be about Glyphosate and PFOA/PFOS/C8 and how they give us cancer
These long chemical names scare people so much, but they have no idea what they are. It’s crazy. Like, what, do you think we’re getting these ingredients from space aliens??? Sorry buster, those are also the same 118 elements.
How the hell do you spend $20 a month on a dog? I think I spend TWO HUNDRED with all the Weruva, raw ingredients, and supplements. One can of dog food is $4 and she eats 2-3 cans worth a day. Just one bottle of collostrum or glucosamine is $24. Buying even the cheapest of meats at $1/lb will probably still cost $100 a month for a big dog. I don’t even think I can buy cat food with $20/month. What the fuck. Is Pedigree even that cheap?
This is really a plea not to eat any food and be distressed about anything you eat.
What about korapilado? I think it’s the most anti inflammatory food ever. Any thoughts?
That’s of course absolutely right. I was trying to explain it to this person in a more understandable and simplified way.
Better you show the Names of those bad Additives & Preservatives on screen so everybody can understand clearly, avoid them and spread your message to others. Thanks for your video.
Our bodies…thanks to modern science and chemistry…will never know the difference?
Obesity epidemic much?
But the fact is, percentage of cancer related disease grows all the time, and specific types are related to increased use of certain known additivies that cause them.
Like sodium nitrate, sodium nitrite which are put in almost all meat products, bacon, hot dogs, sausages, etc, and you consume them daily. They turn into nitrosamines during digestion, and are especially dangerous if treated under high temp, which often happens. They highly increase the chances of colon cancer, and you can see the strong relation between colon cancer amount (in %) and the increased usage of those additives during last few decades to make the meat products last longer and longer.
live and learn after 40 years i run my own show with my dogs and my life.its all about the money nothing else
Everything is made of Chemicals. Honestly they are organic according to the definition of organic. So eat up people!
She was doing fine until she criticized caffeine. How dare she!!!??Just kidding, i agree and especially agree with not drinking sodas. wackassegyption, I also read that benzoates were found to create benzene a carcinogen when combined with ascorbic acid. The study said that some sodas with ascorbic acid were found to have much higher levels of benzene than was allowed by the FDA. But anyway, great video.
@23ChelseyRobb Not all food additives are dangerous, that is true. But some of them ARE, and they’re still put into the food.
Stick to food from organic farms and shops, it seems that it’s the big government farms which are not interested in producing organic. Help promote mass composting and get these big farms using the organic compost they need. Lets put all of our food waste back into the ground and start eating natural foods and encourage the production of natural products.
the question is why does the main stream market charge so much money to eat food that is healthy. Often food after it is processed cost less than after it is processed so for the poverty stricken and poor we are yet doomed to eat unhealthy. Luckily we are naturally harder workers than the wealthy which keeps us in balance with them because our bodies are used to stress and adversity and has aclimated to the pressure.
Red dye: making kids unstable for 3 generations. (that i know of personally)
Good to see another edition from Radhia. Please, the hot fact girls are getting irritating now.
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree 😉
Looking forward to seeing the next vids. Whatever happen to Natalie? She had some great vids. Ok, I’ll admit it hotfacts are ok, it was just starting to get a little repetitive (If you can indulge me in a little constructive criticism)
cheers.
Lol, sounds to me like we should stay away from the grocery store. I think the world is screwed. The air, water, ground and ocean are polluted so perhaps we should just drink the kool aid the food manufacturers are giving us and die.
That’s right. You’d want test animals that are as closely related to humans as possible for the fairest results. Dose depends on what you’re studying though.
Artificial banana is the worst, and from what I understand, it’s surprisingly close to the flavor bananas had before Panama disease that almost caused the Gros Michel to go extinct all together. If that’s true, I guess I’m kind of lucky, although I’d never wish the extinction of a food source. Still, I’m a Cavendish guy all the way. Cloned fruit is bananas.
NEVER USE TURMERIC it will do the exact opposite, increaseee inflammation because it is manmade just like strawberry and white rice. Use black seed oil instead. It will heal diabetes eyesight thyroids heart disease basically anything…..but go on a fast for 2 months and use it while fasting you will thank me later. How do i know all of this? Because it healed my uncle his eyesight in 2 weeks and it healed my grandmother from digestive problems she was about to get stomach shortening sugery thank god she used the black seed oil
Some nice Concord grap juice I heard is good. I’m trying to figure out if all preservatives are really all that bad, cuzz citric acid doesn’t sound like it would be that bad as far as I know
Don’t want to eat cheese that’s runny? Speak for yourself-I like cheese that gurgles and squishes and smells like dead fishes.
also……..what SHOULD we eat? any specific foods that are great to munch on?
Something overlooked a lot, the most common food preservatives are actually Salt (Sodium Carbonate) and Sugar (Sucrose). Also, both are considered flavor enhancers.
I agree with you on the basic premise that food additives in general are not desirable, but you’ve produced “smoother” more cohierent videos in the past. ie. you mixed nitrate/nitrite up but I think I know what you mean.
Aspertame is a proven Nuero toxin! Destroys brain cells. Keep away from ANYONE who has Alzheimer’s as it speeds up the degeneration of the brain cells.
I was running late for work. So I made a sandwich with just meat & cheese. I took a bite & immediately thought, I don’t remember putting mayonnaise on my sandwich. It was twangy…. I hopped in my car and looked in the rear view mirror. I seen I had a black smudge on my mouth by the corner of my mouth. I looked at my hands & there was nothing. I looked st my sandwich to make sure I didn’t get anything on it. There it was.. about a silver dollar size mold spot with about a third of it gone. When I got to work I just told them I might be tripping soon. But ever did lol. Had false hope.
I’m glad I live in rural canada. Most good food come locally
Another great video and interview, thank u for making this.
God bless you!
Took 3 grams of BHT a day for 3 years and then about 400mg a day for the next 40 years still doing fine.
Like most things, the effect of BHT is dependent on organism and dosage. In some people, the detoxification of BHT by the their P-450 system results in the formation of Methide Quinones, which are highly reactive and can damage cells from within (including DNA). Personally, I stay away from BHT as it causes pain in my nerves. USFDA thinking, innocent until guilty, kinda like 737 MAX airplanes.
Every time I eat MSG I feel sick, I get bloated feeling and I get a headache..
As you guys can see, my sister no longer draws for me. I am getting use to drawing like her. Hopefully it will improve to be like hers and even better. I also had to rush the video out, so I apologize for the quality.
Hey, I love the videos! You are so helpful! I have one suggestion for you to help your viewers access the information easier. For videos like these where you talk about multiple things, break it up into shorter more detailed videos pertaining to one topic. That way, if theres someone out there that wants to learn specifically about sulfites, they can find your video by typing in sulfite! Right now, they would have no way to know this video talks about sulfites, etc.
Radhia. I wish it was politically correct to ask a woman her age because i suspect you look a good deal younger than you are.
I like your vids! You’ve got yourself a new subscriber. BTW, I think you should check smzeus!! Ever since I started using it on my main channel my videos are ranking much better!!!
great video! I had to slow the video down in order to properly listen to everything.
Great point! Perhaps the Harvard School of Public Health should do a study on those who eat “healthy” food. It would be interesting to find out what their health problems would be, and what their life expectancy is. Maybe the crew from Psychetruth can give us their H&P’s.
i think when ppp say they dont like chemicals is the stuff in mcdonalds and stuff thats unheathly not just normal cause obviously everything is a chemical even the good things
Great podcast. Ryan is terrific. I actually work for a premium pet food company and really enjoyed learning more about the DCM issue. Our company was lucky enough to NOT be called out on that FDA list, but to hear the perspective from someone outside of our company was good. Thanks Ryan for having free information on your website for us to peruse as well.
now we know everything we eat from the market is not to feed you but to please you, rather than to nurture your body with nutrients these are just mere industrial placebos for your guts and phychic. Great!
Or you could just eat a burger made from beef like a normal person
Never knew that most of stabilisers are actually made out of harmless things like seaweed and bacteria. Always thought produsers used some aggressive acids or indigestible powders, that are cheep to make, but will destroy your intestines in a while. I feel kinda more safe now.
You failed to metion we diddnt have upper respiratory infections until we had processed food commercialisation
HOW CAN YOU SAY “YOUR STOMACH DOESNT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE” WHEN THESE THINGS LITERALLY. CAUSE. CANCER.???
The dudes hair looks like a plastic dog poop toy placed on his head.
Hey good list, you forgot to mention silicon dioxide in the suplement pills. Big concern about this pleeeaase, that stuff is totally brain killer. We are under attack.Check opposingdigits website please, forums on the fight.
Why dont you do some more reasearch on the subject. She is here to point you in the right direction. Not do your homework for you.
The red dye always used to make me hyper as a kid
I guess this solves the problem
I’VE USED ACANA REGIONAL FOR 20 YEARS NOW I’M AFRAID SO I MIX IT WITH ROYAL CANINE, WHAT’S YOUR OPINION SPECIFICALLY ON REGIONALS THE FACTORY MOVED, CHANGED SOME THINGS, PERHAPS NOW THE FOOD IS BAD? THANKS
Thank you for including the safe additives as well. Makes things a lot easier.
soo,,,,you wanna raise the number of nuclear waste deaths? umm….maybe someone should revoke your decision making abilities.
Too bad they would never teach this in school. Today’s society there is no discipline in food, if there was companies would be bankrupt. No wonder health care is so expensive, we have a health crisis going on and people dont care what they eat as long as it taste good that all that matters. Processed foods cannot be considered as food because it has no protein. I noticed Sodium Benzoate Potassium Benzoate is almost in everything. Anything made by man is no more than a chemical concoction.
I am so blessed this popped up when I searched for anti inflammatory diet. A super engaging and well put lecture that is sooo informative. Thank you Kayla and WellStar health!
While I probably agree with you in sentiment, this is not a very wise heuristic to apply generally. Chocolate is toxic to dogs, garlic to cats. Pretty beneficial foods for humans though.
5 yrs ago my doctors had me on 10 different medications and i had all these sickness, went homeopathic,started eating natural fresh foods (not canned or frozen) or processed meats,make my own meds from plants and now my doctor says im the healthiest person he knows and im 61 and smoke.
This is some serious stuff. I’m glad it is finally coming out into the open. Give this guy a medal!
I really like your branding. It fits so well with your well made videos!
Yo this was a phenomenal video! I hope you continue down the columns of food additives, specifically the nutritional ones. I wanna know if there are any nutritional benefits at all to be found on additives
