And there's something I recently learned that it's almost embarrassing to say that I should

have known this long ago.

And it relates to Gras, which stands for generally recognized as safe.

And this designation goes along with certain chemicals that are put out in our environment

and food, implying that it probably went through

a lot of different safety studies, right?

And it's regulated by the FDA.

But apparently what I just learned about this

is that the FDA allows companies

to self-certify their poisons,

I'm sorry, chemicals as being safe.

And I mean, think about this, we have like 10,000 chemicals in our food

supply, and 99% of them have not really been reviewed for safety. And so this leads me to a new

definition that I want to share with you. It's called a loophole. And relating to this topic,

a loophole is something that a company can use to avoid certain restrictions. And that's exactly

what this Gras is. It's a big fat loophole that companies use to imply that their chemicals are safe.

Despite other testing done by other

facilities, which is quite fascinating because many chemicals that are allowed in the U.S. are

not allowed in Europe. Yeah, and today I'm just going to talk about six of these poisons.

I mean chemicals that are generally considered as safe.

I like how they use the word generally.

So they don't have to be that specific about it.
