There’s a growing awareness that the food we consume in the U.S. is contributing to a range of health issues, not only for adults but for children too. Popular food brands and fast-food chains are filled with harmful ingredients, preservatives, and additives that can have long-term negative impacts on our health. Compared to European counterparts, American food products often contain more artificial ingredients, many of which are banned in other countries.
Processed Foods and Hidden Ingredients
Take Kellogg’s as an example. The cereals many of us grew up eating are packed with sugar, artificial dyes, and preservatives. Shockingly, products like Kellogg’s cereals sold in the U.S. have a completely different ingredient list compared to versions sold in countries like the U.K. and France. European regulations prevent the use of harmful additives linked to hyperactivity, hormone disruption, and even cancer—yet, these ingredients are still found in U.S. products.
Fast food is another major culprit. In the U.S., fast food chains use preservatives, high-fructose corn syrup, and artificial flavors. A McDonald’s burger in America may contain over 30 ingredients, while the same burger in the U.K. might have fewer than 10. Why are American consumers being exposed to so many harmful additives?
Impact on Our Children
Children are especially vulnerable to these toxins. Many foods marketed to kids—like sugary cereals, snacks, and fast foods—are filled with chemicals that affect growth, brain development, and overall health. Food dyes, common in candies and snacks, have been linked to hyperactivity and attention issues. Despite the evidence, the U.S. continues to allow these dyes while they are banned or restricted in Europe.
