Summary

1. Artificial food dyesThere is no benefit to having toxic, artificial food coloring in our foods. The Delaney Clause prohibited the use of any food additives shown to induce cancer in humans or animals; however, in 1996, the Food Quality Protection Act effectively reversed this clause, allowing these chemicals back into the food supply.

2. The SNAP ProgramRFK Jr. is actively working to eliminate junk foods from the SNAP program. He is receiving a lot of pushback, even from unlikely sources, like the American Heart Association.

3. Titanium dioxide This ingredient is banned in France for causing DNA damage! It can enter the brain and has been identified as a carcinogen. RFK Jr. is actively working to remove this ingredient from the food supply.

4. Brominated vegetable oil This flame retardant has nothing to do with vegetables! Although it’s still used in American soft drinks, BVO has been banned in Europe, Japan, and India.

5. Potassium bromateThis possible carcinogen is used to fluff up dough, yet it’s banned in 30 countries, but not in the US.

6. High-fructose corn syrup This corn-derived sweetener can lead to liver damage, a fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and more. Many activists have been working to get this banned or limited in the children’s school system for some time.

7. Seed oils The average person consumes 25 to 30 percent of their calories from seed oils. They cause inflammation and other toxic effects, and can linger in the body for over a year after consumption. 8. Ultra-processed foods Ultra-processed foods contain synthetic starches, synthetic sugar, and seed oils. RFK Jr. aims to remove these foods from children’s lunches, hospitals, and assisted living homes.

9. Artificial sweeteners Sugar alcohols are made by fermenting natural ingredients, while artificial sweeteners use chemicals like petroleum. These sweeteners cause significant damage, including an alteration of your gut microbes and cancer.

10. GRAS The GRAS (generally recognized as safe) loophole allows industries to do their own testing to determine if a product is safe.

0:03.9	These things that we're going to talk about don't even remotely come close to being food.
0:07.2	The amount of money, big corporations, big pharma, big food, the chemical companies,
0:12.7	the amount of pushback that he's getting internally and externally is off the charts.
0:18.1	Today we're going to talk about all the good things that he's doing, starting with number one, getting rid of the food dyes. There's absolutely no benefit to having these toxic
0:26.3	colorings in our foods. What's really interesting about the link of cancer is there's this thing called
0:31.9	the Delaney Clause. This was something that was passed that prohibits food ingredients found to cause cancer in
0:39.9	either humans or animals to not be put in our food supply. Of course, in 1996, there was another
0:45.5	thing that was passed called the Food Quality Protection Act, allowing these chemicals to be put
0:51.4	back into the food supply. Thus, the many different things in our food supply
0:55.1	that do cause cancer. Moving on to number two, the SNAP program. This is the food stamp program.

1:20.0	Just so happens, their messaging aligns with those two very closely in a recent debate involving
1:25.6	this bill that they're supposed to be approving to not include
1:29.1	junk foods in the SNAP program. Guess who showed up? A representative from the American Heart
1:34.2	Association pushing back on that. You have to realize that the taxpayers pay for the SNAP program.
1:40.5	What is wrong with this picture? Well, you are paying for this problem three different
1:44.9	times. You're paying for the raw material to be sold very cheaply. And then you're actually
1:49.5	paying a second time, paying people to buy those exact products. And when they get a chronic
