A rule that was just made for exploitation is the Generally Recognized As Safe rule from the corrupt ‘top men’ at the FDA. This rule has been allowing Big Food to adulterate US foodstuffs for decades.
The Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) rule allows companies to self-approve the inclusion of additives in food items without requiring a review and the approval of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The rule enables manufacturers to add an ingredient even if the FDA has not determined its safety.
Reporting the addition of chemicals into food under this rule was not even mandatory. 766 chemicals have been added to US food products in the last twenty five years. That’s just the ones we know about. If a company didn’t submit a report, then there is no paper trail. Experts estimate there’s over 1000 mystery additives.
Real nice loophole the sleazebags at the FDA decided to hand to companies. And it took getting RFK Jr into place to bring it to public notice.
No wonder that US food products have warning labels in other countries.
European nations, on the other hand, require that a chemical be proven safe before it becomes a food ingredient. In our country, the GRAS standard means that every chemical is presumed safe until proven dangerous. That proof might not come until millions of Americans are suffering from chronic disease. This mass experiment on the American population with GRAS has, in short, been a catastrophe.
We now have around 10,000 chemicals in our food. Europe has only 400.
For example, titanium dioxide—potentially linked to DNA damage and cancer—is banned in the EU, but it’s in our children’s food. Potassium bromate, a suspected carcinogen, is banned in Europe and Japan. You guessed it—it’s in our children’s bread.
Food dyes such as Red Dye 40 and Yellow 5 and 6 come with warning labels in Europe. They’re linked to behavioral issues in children. But in the U.S., they are generally recognized as safe.
No matter how much you hate the government, it’s not enough. The FDA knew that this loophole was being exploited and did nothing. Americans were (and still are) being poisoned. Without Trump’s win, the status quo would still be in place.
