Milk causing autism 💀 cmon now 😑 as someone who's autistic I can tell ya milk is not the cause ppl with autism are usually born with it and it's sometimes genetic I was born with it and mine is genetic srsly Peta 💀😑
I live in Poland and I tried Pop-tarts ONCE during a brief window they were available. I honestly felt as if I ate a ball of lead, only instead of lead it was sugar.
Hello, Norwegian guy here. I want to clarify some things about Pop Tarts. I've never heard about Pop Tarts being banned over here, as it's never been officially sold over here. American foods aren't sold here regularly, rather it's imported over because of interest for american candy. There exist small candy shops that specializes in imported popular candy, and American candy is by far the most common. I've bough Pop Tarts in a Norwegian grocery store for 10$ a pack. Import fees are outrageos here, and they only get one batch once in a while. The Norwegian state want to avoid import goods competing with locally produced goods in price. Instead of making food cheap, get rid of the competitors.
@@SatanenPerkele 1. M&M's are also sold in Norway, but they're most common in tax free's. M's are also available, but I think they're a bit more common. 2. Frosties are one of the most common cereal here too. 3. Ritz are also common. 4. Gatorate is being sold here, although I've rarely seen any.
@@SatanenPerkele I'm not that extreme, but I feel obligated to comment to avoid spreading misinformation. Content creators need to check twice instead of taking things at face value. He warned og this in the beginning though.
I'm Norwegian too live in bergen and have never found any poptarts but it's found in Germany as my mother bought it there But yes I agree there are most of foods and drinks from the usa in Norway are said it's banned but you can find some in grocery stores and it's probably just so few of those items because of the tax prices to ship them all the way from USA 🤷
Perhaps its commonly misunderstood, and its just specific flavors that arent sold because of the colorings and other things in them. Flavors like Apple Jack, Eggo Waffle, strawberry milkshake, and wild berry (when its in season) probably arent sold everywhere (the waffle flavor one shouldnt be sold anywhere cuz its gross)
as someone interested nutrition, fitness, health in general, and nostalgic cartoons, you with your charisma combining all of these on your channel is great
Fun Fact: *Employees handling soft drinks like Mountain Dew have to wear insulated gloves at all times when processing it, or risk severe chemical burns from the amount of citric acid and other additives in the formula.*
I really like these banned or controversial food lists Josh. It adds variety to your channel. They are very interesting and informative. Merry Christmas to you and Nin and your families. ❤
As someone with ADHD I find funny that I don’t really go out of my way to eat fruit loops cause they’re all the same and I’ve never really had anything worse of ADHD after I eat fruit loops
Honestly the studies were probably watching kids jump around after eating sugary cereal and trying to see if that was just because of the sugar or also because of the dye.
I have ADHD. I can totally understand how ADHD symptoms in a neurotypical brain/non-ADHD brain would not be preferred. I wouldn't know how to be neurotypical so...yeah. Sure. Avoid it if you want. As for me, I generally feel good about avoiding things the EU have avoided.
Even as a kid I never liked Gatorade, it tasted sweeter than my juice boxes! Thank you Phantom Strider, you've given me the gift of proving my skepticism correct! Happy Holidays!
I was actually hoping to hear the history behind the copyrighted issue with M&Ms. I was also surprised that you didn't put Cheetos on the list. But otherwise great video as always.
Yeah I was curious on that copyright issue. Like REALLY curious considering I know a guy from Sweden who wanted to learn our American English instead of Bri'ish English. Ok, so apparently Mondelez International's M chocolate circles have been a thing in Sweden before the M&M's went there around 2009. That's what I could find online. Oh & the brands were a bit TOO similar. So it's kind of like what happened to Oreos.
Was really interesting to hear your perspective on Gatorade! I always assumed it was a good sports drink, but hearing from an actual runner really challenged my perspective! Personally, I only ever drink it when I'm having intense nausea/vomiting, since most other drinks do not appeal to me when I'm in a state like that and need hydration, and its the only drink my body seems fine handling when that happens. So to me, its less of a sports drink and more of a sickness drink, and this video re-enforces that to me more than ever before!
My parents are the same too. I hate the taste of gatorade and they would make me drink it because they told me gatorate was the only drink with electrolytes. I knew it was a lie but my parents are really gullible. I haven't drank gatorade since I was around 13 I think
Yeah, I pretty much only drank it as I was coming out of being sick as a kid and even then I thought it had a weird taste, but my parents gave it to me for rehydration (While I was sick, my parents would give me Sprite or 7-Up because of it being able to settle your stomach... I now hate the taste because of how often I drank it when sick as a kid)

ADHD is not a behavioral disorder, it’s a neurological disorder. Saying it’s a behavioral thing is why I and so many others were yelled at and told repeatedly that we need to “control it” or that we’ll “have to grow out of it if you want to be taken seriously” as we were growing up dealing with it and the stigma from family members and teachers.
Hadn't realised that wording sorry and took it straight from a science article. Sorry about that. You are indeed correct. Like ASD or OCD, it is very much neurological. I faced similar issues growing up too as at the time, Autism spectrum was not nearly as well understood
@@pikachuhutch234 Nin's chat on #1 basically actually gives you all the information on the subject.

Personally when it comes to energy drinks, I prefer the brand “G-Fuel”. It doesn’t have ANY sugar in their formula and their non caffeinated hydration range provides all the electrolytes a guy needs on a hot summer day, and I’m speaking as someone who works outside all day.
I'm on the Weight Watchers program here in the US. We measure our food in Points values based on the Nutritional Label on every package (handy-dandy phone app helps). My best go-to zero-point food has to be grapes. They satisfy the sweet flavor need in our bodies, and at $2.99 in my local supermarket, it's a steal!
Im diabetic and cant eat many grapes so i can't understand how grapes can be a zero point food. It has a lot of natural sugar, which turn into carbs in your system, and carbs make you gain weight.
@@breeinatree4811 I think the points system varies depending on your specific health needs. I learned that grapes and other zero point fruits can have points for diabetics as long as you identify as such.
Honestly, the best reason to cut most of this stuff out of your diet is because of how full of sugar (and corn, which is used [surprise, surprise] to sweeten things) they are.
Wow. This was an interesting video. I took a dietitian course in University, but it was more like you should eat less of this and more of that. I liked that you actually named some grocery items where companies sneak in something to peoples’ foods so customers can keep on coming back for the same item or some other alternative. Anyway, this was a fun and informative video and I hope I get to see more! 😊
Fruit Loops aren't completely banned in Austria, they are actually sold at normal supermarkets, but I assume they are produced somewhere in Europe and thus contain different ingredients. Pop Tarts and Ritz are also sold in Austria but you can only find them for high prices in speciality shops that sell imported food and drink items and they get stickers to point out and warn you of certain ingredients. And I know I've seen Gatorade too but I can't remember anymore if it was at a supermarket or at one of those foreign speciality shops.
As someone who's afraid to look at the "Strangest Food Secrets" video, I'm glad to see how there's another video that I can watch without potential image scarring, haha. The thumbnail kinda irks me with that pink string thing that I fear being an organ, LOL. But I always enjoy your stuff; I am happy I found your channel. :3
That pink slime is actually just regular meat put through a centrifuge to remove any fats 😄 I chat in the video about how it's actually even more healthy than most regular meat. If you are curious on that video, I promise there's nothing too terrible in it! 😄
@@SatanenPerkele Feel free to reply to the comment I gave you 🙂 As I said, I went to great lengths to do alot of research for this one to avoid giving misinformation, but sadly, I must have missed that particualr point on recent sales locations. At least you can still enjoy the nutritional studies hopefully!
Oh God, do NOT get me started on pop tarts! They were basically one of the only foods I used to eat, and when I had a “food boom” ( which means I began eating so many other foods), I permanently banned pop tarts from my diet.
12:46 A wild Nim has appeared! But seriously, Josh, you got a good one! All the best to you, and so glad Nim is doing a lot better! My mom gets Gatorade all the time, low sugar, of course, but even then, I only use it when my family feels sick or has diarrhea. I respect your opinion on it, but we're not exactly fitness buffs.
Strider has the coolest friends. A pony, a boo, his wife, and logic. Ngl ever since they updated kraft it has been amazing so they got rid of the dye and improved it which deserves mad props.
I’m also someone who has run for a significantly long time for my high school and I will just say this. If you ever want to buy anything from Gatorade to drink for any practice/competitive event, the best thing you can buy is one of their water bottles. And then you can fill it up with water and take a drink whenever you need to. I can guarantee you that it will be far more refreshing as opposed to one of their actual sports drinks.
Now I want to see a video about foods from Australia that are banned in other countries. Btw I really enjoy your videos and hope you enjoy the holidays.
Corn syrup is an interesting ingredient. On its own as a sweetener it may not be much different from sugar, but the real trouble is that it's made from corn. Corn farming is heavily subsidized in the States, so much so that the main way farmers make a profit is to produce an exorbitant surplus of corn crop. Only so much of it can be sold fresh or canned for consumption so the rest goes into biofuels and of course, the production of corn syrup. And again, the surplus is so much that even after fresh crops and ethanol production the country has enough corn for syrup that food companies can buy it up as a cheap and abundant sweetener for foods. Cheap and abundant enough that foods that have no need to be sweet (i.e. American breads) get packed with corn syrups for the sake of "taste".
As someone who used to live in the European Union, the banning of American Milk is not only because of the bovine growth hormone, it's also to protect our own dairy farmers, not to mention that a lot of us consider giving Bovine Growth Hormones to cows to increase milk production to be animal cruelty.
I'm glad you posted this; I worked in hospital patient nutrition for a while (I read dietary charts and gave them the food) so this is very informative and had to do an intervention with a patient about her 4 cans of coke with every meal and one of my coworkers claimed that yellow dye gave her son ADHD so thanks for showing that information. one thing that's my pet peeve is that I wish artificial sweeteners had bigger labels because due to GI issues I have to avoid them as do many others as I've found on clinical websites.
I’m reminded of when my mom had a really bad sinus infection and our doctor said she could use Gatorade to get some sugar and electrolytes back….if she diluted it with water first. He said straight gatorade is actually not as good as just drinking water for replacing fluids. That paired with their shady way of handling research studies on it’s effectiveness is just the cherry on top. 😅
Admittedly I used to eat a lot of these foods, until my family switched to a low sugar diet and now all of those things make me gag from the amount of sugar that's in them.
I have never heard about quite a few of these. It is insane if how many of these foods have evidence to being dangerous. I love your videos Josh. Keep up the good work
I remember when I was a kid, I always used to get a box of Lucky Charms every Christmas (they don't make them over here so you have to buy them imported which means they're like twice as expensive as any other cereal). They have UK compliant nutritional information stuck on top of the regular American nutrition facts, and at the bottom was a disclaimer saying "may have an adverse effect on attention and hyperactivity in children" (I liked to read stuff on the box). I always wondered what that was about, and I'm guessing now that they probably contain Yellow 5...
I think the most awkward part of this is that I had Frosted Flakes for lunch (I slept in and skipped breakfast), and recently had some Ritz crackers for snack several minutes before running into this video. Welp… I’m screwed (sarcasm)
I'm really happy with this one. I love the creative bits like Strider going crazy looking for a dangerous additive in M&Ms, that was too good. Great upload, nice editing and animation 😁
12:45 The PhantomStrider Family (including Josh Strider, NinJean and Boo) + PhoenixStarYT Also, I enjoy drinking Gatorades, but not much as a sports drink, but as a regular drink.
Someone had to give them some milk when needed, right? So I thought "why not? Gives me an excuse to hang out with these guys again, haha" I like to drink sports drinks myself as well. Not very often, because it's incredibly unhealthy, but every once in a while it makes for a tasty drink
At 1:00 I used to eat Fruit Loops when I was little as a child, but not anymore. I outgrew my childhood eating habits. But now I only eat Weet-Bix and Sultana Bran nowadays. And because I've outgrown my childhood eating habits, I have matured into a healthier and happier, yet a sadder and wiser human being. Kind of like what I am today.😔💔💙🖤❤️🔥🌧️⛈️🌩️😢
Hello, spanish person here, and we've had Frosties since... Forever. They're not banned in Spain and I don't think they've ever been. MnMs used to be pretty uncommon years ago but they can be found easily in stores, however, we already had them but from other brands, like the locally based Lacasitos, or the I think British Smarties.
It’s funny how in at least Canada our fruit loops look quite different from in the US. Ours has no artificial flavours or colouring and have very diluted looking fruit loops with no blue ones!
I love watching your videos! You're such a kind and respectful person and it's a nice change of pace from alot of the stuff online these days. Keep on keeping on 😊😊
Honestly, gatorade (and other sports drinks) are only really useful for rather advanced cases of dehydration Not that you wouldn't be able to recover with just water and some food alone, but having all of these things in drinkable form and easy access can help if you are away from your home or if you simply do not have the time to wait for digestion to do its thing properly
Uhh what? I’m a Dane and I promise you that we have Ritz Crackers. I haven’t seen any but the normal ones and not the variety ones, but that may just be because of the absurd amount of variety in American stores compared to European stores. I suppose the variant we have just has no trans fats. I don’t know if trans fats are exclusive to certain variants or are a thing in all Ritz products.
I like sports drinks, though I prefer Body Armor over Gatorade. It’s like that, but focused more on tropical fruit flavors. Though, usually I just stick to water after my nightly jogs.
well, i'm glad i caught this vid early, phantomstrider is someone i like listening to, and his vids are one of my favs to go to when i have nothing else going on
I came to the channel for SpongeBob content years ago and now I’m watching science lessons with sources. Keep making whatever type of content you want because you always entertain and educate.
As an American and while I don't want to make light of the worry it feels a lot of things can cause cancer. So it's definitely something people should do they're own research on and not blindly listen to if someone says x thing may cause cancer
The smokiness on BBQ foods can also cause cancer. Yeah, I tend to agree. I think people forget that cancer IS a naturally occurring type of disease. Virtually anything can cause your cells to mutate, so therefore, almost anything carries at least a small cancer risk. It's more about how big of a risk... For example, Smoking (not meat) comes with a OVERWELMING risk of cancer. Eating cherries does not.
Overall, a very interesting video. It’s always hard trying to find a balance between enjoying the things you eat and trying to keep yourself alive, and I like that it’s trying to give as accurate studies as possible, thanks dude!
I never would have expected foods that I would normally eat to be banned outside of the US. #10: Really; ADHD? That's a stupid reason to ban a certain food. ADHD isn't a disease, it's just something some people are born with.
It's not banned because they think it causes ADHD. It's banned because it causes adverse effects on people with ADHD... and people withoit ADHD... so really it has nothing to do with ADHD. ADHD was just a buzzword in the 2000s and 90s so they threw it around a lot for no reason.
Ah, that explains why I never saw poptarts anywhere... Huh, I remember eating both Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops as a child in Germany. I have to look next time grocery shopping if they vanished from the shelves.
I don't know how Froot Loops can be banned in other countries Last time I looked, they didn't have any bad mascots and their commercials were kid friendly
Pretty hyperactive myself and yes I do eat pop-tarts sometimes, but apparently, I've been hyperactive since I was born. Personally, I'm guessing the majority of the kids who showed signs were either just ADHD or something similar and just being themselves, or just hyperactive from the sugar.
As someone who works in dental, I do see food dye allergies a lot, but in my experience, it's mostly blue dye allergies, or an allergy to a very specific red dye (not 40)
The fruit loops causing ADHD thing reminded me of the time PETA tried to trick people into thinking that milk causes autism. 🤦♀️
And then theres the anti vaxxers who think getting a vaccine causes autism.

And I know I've seen Gatorade too but I can't remember anymore if it was at a supermarket or at one of those foreign speciality shops.
As someone who's afraid to look at the "Strangest Food Secrets" video, I'm glad to see how there's another video that I can watch without potential image scarring, haha. The thumbnail kinda irks me with that pink string thing that I fear being an organ, LOL.
But I always enjoy your stuff; I am happy I found your channel. :3
That video wasn't odd it was actually satisfying McDonald's tried to make bubble gum flavored broccoli. Thay was one of the secrets
That pink slime is actually just regular meat put through a centrifuge to remove any fats 😄 I chat in the video about how it's actually even more healthy than most regular meat. If you are curious on that video, I promise there's nothing too terrible in it! 😄
@@SatanenPerkele Feel free to reply to the comment I gave you 🙂 As I said, I went to great lengths to do alot of research for this one to avoid giving misinformation, but sadly, I must have missed that particualr point on recent sales locations. At least you can still enjoy the nutritional studies hopefully!
Sometimes I wish Matpat from food theory did a video together with him because to me that would be a hope and dream to me
On the Gatorade thing, I think The Waterboy summed it up best "Water quenches your thirst!"
As a PhD chemist, I appreciate how detailed you go into the literature to support the info in your videos!
Oh God, do NOT get me started on pop tarts! They were basically one of the only foods I used to eat, and when I had a “food boom” ( which means I began eating so many other foods), I permanently banned pop tarts from my diet.
12:46 A wild Nim has appeared! But seriously, Josh, you got a good one! All the best to you, and so glad Nim is doing a lot better!
My mom gets Gatorade all the time, low sugar, of course, but even then, I only use it when my family feels sick or has diarrhea. I respect your opinion on it, but we're not exactly fitness buffs.
It's always fun to learn all the random chemicals that are in the food we eat awesome video. keep up the good work!
Strider has the coolest friends. A pony, a boo, his wife, and logic. Ngl ever since they updated kraft it has been amazing so they got rid of the dye and improved it which deserves mad props.
Always a good day when strider uploads!!
I’m also someone who has run for a significantly long time for my high school and I will just say this.
If you ever want to buy anything from Gatorade to drink for any practice/competitive event, the best thing you can buy is one of their water bottles.
And then you can fill it up with water and take a drink whenever you need to.
I can guarantee you that it will be far more refreshing as opposed to one of their actual sports drinks.
Now I want to see a video about foods from Australia that are banned in other countries. Btw I really enjoy your videos and hope you enjoy the holidays.
Corn syrup is an interesting ingredient. On its own as a sweetener it may not be much different from sugar, but the real trouble is that it's made from corn. Corn farming is heavily subsidized in the States, so much so that the main way farmers make a profit is to produce an exorbitant surplus of corn crop. Only so much of it can be sold fresh or canned for consumption so the rest goes into biofuels and of course, the production of corn syrup. And again, the surplus is so much that even after fresh crops and ethanol production the country has enough corn for syrup that food companies can buy it up as a cheap and abundant sweetener for foods. Cheap and abundant enough that foods that have no need to be sweet (i.e. American breads) get packed with corn syrups for the sake of "taste".
As someone who used to live in the European Union, the banning of American Milk is not only because of the bovine growth hormone, it's also to protect our own dairy farmers, not to mention that a lot of us consider giving Bovine Growth Hormones to cows to increase milk production to be animal cruelty.
The animal cruelty thing is something I can support. We feed our kids milk from farms that don’t use RBGH.
I'm glad you posted this; I worked in hospital patient nutrition for a while (I read dietary charts and gave them the food) so this is very informative and had to do an intervention with a patient about her 4 cans of coke with every meal and one of my coworkers claimed that yellow dye gave her son ADHD so thanks for showing that information.
one thing that's my pet peeve is that I wish artificial sweeteners had bigger labels because due to GI issues I have to avoid them as do many others as I've found on clinical websites.
I feel like a "10 Foods From Elsewhere Banned In The US" might be in order then too?
I’m reminded of when my mom had a really bad sinus infection and our doctor said she could use Gatorade to get some sugar and electrolytes back….if she diluted it with water first. He said straight gatorade is actually not as good as just drinking water for replacing fluids. That paired with their shady way of handling research studies on it’s effectiveness is just the cherry on top. 😅
Admittedly I used to eat a lot of these foods, until my family switched to a low sugar diet and now all of those things make me gag from the amount of sugar that's in them.
I have never heard about quite a few of these. It is insane if how many of these foods have evidence to being dangerous. I love your videos Josh. Keep up the good work
You know it’s a good day when strider uploads 🙃
oh hell yeah it is😁
Facts
I love how you present the information in all your videos.
I remember when I was a kid, I always used to get a box of Lucky Charms every Christmas (they don't make them over here so you have to buy them imported which means they're like twice as expensive as any other cereal). They have UK compliant nutritional information stuck on top of the regular American nutrition facts, and at the bottom was a disclaimer saying "may have an adverse effect on attention and hyperactivity in children" (I liked to read stuff on the box). I always wondered what that was about, and I'm guessing now that they probably contain Yellow 5...
I have so much respect for how you do so much research to create great videos for us :)
Ty for everything you do Strider
Strider: uploads one of his videos.
Me: Best Christmas present ever!
In all my life, Ritz has been sold here in Norway, I've never heard it has been banned here. We only have regular Ritz, not any other type.
Merry Christmas Strider! You're the most wholesome TH-camr I can think of!
I think the most awkward part of this is that I had Frosted Flakes for lunch (I slept in and skipped breakfast), and recently had some Ritz crackers for snack several minutes before running into this video.
Welp… I’m screwed (sarcasm)
Absolutely love it when Strider uploads! Always love his videos!!
I'm really happy with this one. I love the creative bits like Strider going crazy looking for a dangerous additive in M&Ms, that was too good. Great upload, nice editing and animation 😁

Also, I enjoy drinking Gatorades, but not much as a sports drink, but as a regular drink.
Someone had to give them some milk when needed, right? So I thought "why not? Gives me an excuse to hang out with these guys again, haha"
I like to drink sports drinks myself as well. Not very often, because it's incredibly unhealthy, but every once in a while it makes for a tasty drink
Tartrazine, or Yellow 5 isn’t banned in the UK, foods containing it just need a warning that it “may cause hyperactivity in children”.
never thought of this topic, but super interesting! :)
"If it has a five dye, it makes you die" - Norway, probably.
At 1:00 I used to eat Fruit Loops when I was little as a child, but not anymore. I outgrew my childhood eating habits. But now I only eat Weet-Bix and Sultana Bran nowadays. And because I've outgrown my childhood eating habits, I have matured into a healthier and happier, yet a sadder and wiser human being. Kind of like what I am today.😔💔💙🖤❤️🔥🌧️⛈️🌩️😢
Hello, spanish person here, and we've had Frosties since... Forever. They're not banned in Spain and I don't think they've ever been.
MnMs used to be pretty uncommon years ago but they can be found easily in stores, however, we already had them but from other brands, like the locally based Lacasitos, or the I think British Smarties.
Love this channel and many of the positive and informative messages it brings 😁
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the content! Merry Xmas!
@@phantomstrider Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your family as well bro!

I laughed so hard I'm tearing. 🤣
Glad to hear Nin’s OK!
So many banned food products…
Hi! I’m Maria single with one kid and I’m seeking
Yeah
When I studied in England, I learned that all of my favorite crackers are a no-go over there. XD
Oh yeah, recently Pop Tarts got imported to my country, I bought one, they were pretty expensive, but holy shit, are they sweet. Like, insanely sweet.
One of the most wholesome TH-camrs of all time; You’re a legend.
It’s funny how in at least Canada our fruit loops look quite different from in the US. Ours has no artificial flavours or colouring and have very diluted looking fruit loops with no blue ones!
I love watching your videos! You're such a kind and respectful person and it's a nice change of pace from alot of the stuff online these days. Keep on keeping on 😊😊
Honestly, gatorade (and other sports drinks) are only really useful for rather advanced cases of dehydration
Not that you wouldn't be able to recover with just water and some food alone, but having all of these things in drinkable form and easy access can help if you are away from your home or if you simply do not have the time to wait for digestion to do its thing properly
Uhh what? I’m a Dane and I promise you that we have Ritz Crackers. I haven’t seen any but the normal ones and not the variety ones, but that may just be because of the absurd amount of variety in American stores compared to European stores. I suppose the variant we have just has no trans fats. I don’t know if trans fats are exclusive to certain variants or are a thing in all Ritz products.
Fun fact: Gatorade has a lower number of electrolytes than they boast. Coconut water actually has more electrolytes than Gatorade.
Loved how Iou Informative this was and i've been loving the pivot this channel's been taking. Keep up the good work!
I like sports drinks, though I prefer Body Armor over Gatorade. It’s like that, but focused more on tropical fruit flavors. Though, usually I just stick to water after my nightly jogs.

21:55 The honey exchanges is so adorably wholesome.
It's been a while since you made a food related video, Strider.
It's only been 2 weeks😅
Olestra really does a number on your digestive tract. I have firsthand experience with it.
As an American and while I don't want to make light of the worry it feels a lot of things can cause cancer. So it's definitely something people should do they're own research on and not blindly listen to if someone says x thing may cause cancer
Agreed
The smokiness on BBQ foods can also cause cancer.
Yeah, I tend to agree. I think people forget that cancer IS a naturally occurring type of disease. Virtually anything can cause your cells to mutate, so therefore, almost anything carries at least a small cancer risk.
It's more about how big of a risk... For example, Smoking (not meat) comes with a OVERWELMING risk of cancer. Eating cherries does not.
Overall, a very interesting video.
It’s always hard trying to find a balance between enjoying the things you eat and trying to keep yourself alive, and I like that it’s trying to give as accurate studies as possible, thanks dude!
I never would have expected foods that I would normally eat to be banned outside of the US.
#10: Really; ADHD? That's a stupid reason to ban a certain food. ADHD isn't a disease, it's just something some people are born with.
It's not banned because they think it causes ADHD. It's banned because it causes adverse effects on people with ADHD... and people withoit ADHD... so really it has nothing to do with ADHD. ADHD was just a buzzword in the 2000s and 90s so they threw it around a lot for no reason.
Ah, that explains why I never saw poptarts anywhere...
Huh, I remember eating both Frosted Flakes and Fruit Loops as a child in Germany. I have to look next time grocery shopping if they vanished from the shelves.
Man, I wish I had easy access to a doctor or dietician lmao
The US: We almost don't care what you put in your food products!
Also the US when Kinder puts a large toy inside of a chocolate shell: >:(
I don't know how Froot Loops can be banned in other countries
Last time I looked, they didn't have any bad mascots and their commercials were kid friendly
did you watch the video?
They cause ADHD apparently
20:27 Niko at his earliest of mukbang
Also some fat free snacks are actually worse then regular brands because they add extra sugar in the fats place
3:22: Little did Strider know that this Red 40 thing was becoming a trend...
Pretty hyperactive myself and yes I do eat pop-tarts sometimes, but apparently, I've been hyperactive since I was born. Personally, I'm guessing the majority of the kids who showed signs were either just ADHD or something similar and just being themselves, or just hyperactive from the sugar.
As someone who works in dental, I do see food dye allergies a lot, but in my experience, it's mostly blue dye allergies, or an allergy to a very specific red dye (not 40)
