I just love your videos! They are very interesting and your videos made me to change the way I see this world... I believe that your channel deserves more subscribers because people should see how our world really is.Thank you again for giving me information (Sorry for my bad english.I'm Romanian)

This is one of the reasons I don't buy orange or citrus drinks. Another one to avoid is Canola Oil.

The video failed to mention that bromine replaces iodine in the body.  The thyroid requires iodine to function.  Most Americans have goiters, (enlarged thyroids) past the age of 60.  In addition to soft drinks, breads have preservatives BHA and BHT, both of which have Bromine and replace the necessary iodine in the body.

There are some things that just be hearing the name alone makes you know that it must be bad for you. Brominated vegetable oil is one of those things.

lol 'Murica never banning all the foods that turn you inside out.

[slappybigalow]

Aw fuck. Now I have to go read the lable on the carton of orange juice I just drank from.

[JillyBean]

I love that quote at the very beginning.

Can you do one on high fructose corn syrup?  I remember 10 years ago when so many studies showed that it was very harmful to the human body, and how very recently, commercials show almost daily from the FDA talking about how it is a safe alternative to natural sugar.  Could there be...  something they don't want you to know?

[aSStronaut]

Who is to blame in this case? Sure they are to blame for lying to us, but ultimately we are to blame for letting ourselves become factory fed cattle being force fed processed bullshit. We choose daily to buy this slop instead of buying better foods for ourselves or even farming our own food if it is necessary.

"Don't brominate my vegetable oil brah"

:)

[jamiesmith]

So, I woke up the other day after a dream told be that my Mt.Dew and my Fanta Orange are not aiding in my depression and everything else wrong with me. Quick google search later. BAM. Your body is trying to tell you people..

[XxLkiraxX]

I liked that Phoenix comparison right there :D

[hulumop]

 think aspartame is i big one, since people of america are trying to lose weight and drinking (mostly diet drinks) that contain aspartame, or chewing gum. So your next food episode should cover aspartame and its harmful affects

They need to use more fenugreek in their food preservation tech. This natural herb fights mold and rot naturally and is edible for consumption by humans and animals alike.

:-|  Every so often they prune back the bushes. ''The War'' -- in this case -- is pretty much everything they do to us -- ''The Enemy.''

''In our own day they are not fighting against one another at all. The war is waged by each ruling group against its own subjects, and the object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact.'' ~George Orwell, 1984

[LasPlagas]

Banned in other countrys, but allowed in the U.S. I've heard that before.

[UnknownXV]

The biggest issue with certain additives and chemicals in that, how do you test for the long-term effects? If someone consumes a drink with X in it and they survive without ill effect, is it safe? Or do they have to drink 10, 000 drinks over a decade for it to be safe? Where is the line drawn?

Not gunna lie, that pizza looked well nice.
