8 Foods We Eat in the US that are Banned in other countries

I do wonder if we take violence out of the equation how the life expectancies would change
 
If we've been taking in all these toxins for such a long time, are we as Americans superior? We are super heroes of the eating world?

So you just want me to lie? I don't understand this, I brought up other developed countries to show that America does have problems but in the large scope of things I'll still outlive someone in Tanzania. We are so privileged that we literally complain about having good. GTHOOHWTBS.

You could argue that other countries being more homogenous than America may have something to do with them being ranked higher than US in many categories.....but even with that 33 aint terrible. Take out all the little black kids getting shot at 18 and we'd be top 10.

OffwhitewhiteThe Genius: You just went full ****** bro, do you know how many vitamins are in stagnant mosquito infected water and roasted flies? Read a book bro.

If we've been consuming all these thing for a x amount of time wouldn't our bodies eventually just adapt to it? Assuming it's been fed to us for more than one generation.

I'm drunk. I'll go home now.
 
pretty interesting how much stuff slides here in the states thats banned every where else. 
 
Oxygen =/= Oxidation.


Evidence shows that OXIDATION causes cancer due to its development of free radicals. Oxygen (O2) provides nutrition to cells that kill cancer cells.


Oxygen and Oxidation (broken up O2; ie "free radicals") are not the same.
 
Whether the risk is great or not, there still is a risk. The biggest risk is chemical/oil manufactures also controlling our food and our food regulators. Economic, gastronomical and regulatory control in the hands of a relatively small group with unchecked power for a generation, we get unchecked power, uncontrolled obesity and general complacency. The idea of a local market, with locally produced food is foreign and abhorrent to most Americans, evidenced by the arguments defending adding things to the food people have been eating since the beginning of time, out if a sense if false security.
 
I don't think we should be proud of being number 33 on that list. That's awful considering we are the richest country in the world.

I know they factor everything into life expectancy but that is still pretty bad.

A lot of the oxygen we breathe in does get converted to free radicals that ages us, and when we don't have the mechanisms to combat these free radicals they can cause enough mutations that may lead to cancer.

I was half serious, but I was technically correct.  Interestingly although oxygen free radicals can lead to cancer, they can also kill cancer cells.

No one said anything about being proud, but 33 in the large scope of things is not terrible. And the difference between the U.S. and a lot of other developed countries is that we are not a heterogenous population made up of many cultures, races, etc. This skews things a bit because we all know economic disparities AND health disparities exist between races. The fact that we are a rich country doesn't mean all that wealth gets distributed equally.

I dunno why man but this list got me :x

Olestra sounding like some seasoning you'd add to a dish. Anal leakage from fries though? :smh:

Think about it though, there's stuff ppl are eating that give rats cancer :lol: :stoneface:

I gotta be a momentary nihilist to get over this thread.
