The FDA doesn't want you to read this.

Here are 10 ingredients that are BANNED in the UK but completely legal in the US (and you're probably consuming them daily):

1. Chlorine-washed chicken Image
UK: Chlorine-washed chicken is BANNED.

US: Poultry is routinely washed with chlorine to hide unsanitary factory conditions...

Americans are essentially eating swimming pool chemicals with their chicken nuggets.
2. Frosted Flates

UK version: No artificial preservatives or colors.

US version: BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) — a lab-created preservative linked to cancer that's also found in jet fuel and embalming fluid

Yes, we're are eating EMBALMING FLUID for breakfast. Image
3. Gatorade

UK version: Natural colorants like beta-carotene.

US version: Brominated vegetable oil & petrochemicals.

The sports drinks sold to you in the name of "health" are LOADED with lab-created chemicals. So glad I don't drink these anymore. Image
4. Heinz Ketchup

UK version: Uses natural ingredients & sweetened with regular sugar.

US version: High fructose corn syrup (linked to obesity, diabetes & liver damage) + more salt and chemicals

Even your ketchup isn't safe from the American food industry.
5. Bread

UK: Potassium bromate is banned (linked to thyroid & kidney issues).

US: This chemical is in most commercial bread products.

Ever wonder why so many Americans have "mysterious" gut issues? This might be why. Image

6. Pringles

UK version: No MSG.

US version: Loaded with MSG, artificial flavors & more sodium

The addictive "can't stop" feeling from these chips isn't just good marketing—it's chemical engineering. Image
7. Quaker Oats Cereal

UK version: No added BHT.

US version: Contains BHT, a potentially harmful preservative banned in many countries.

The "heart healthy" oats are contaminated with chemicals in America. Image
8. Skittles

UK version: Uses natural colors from fruits & vegetables.

US version: Artificial colors including Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Red 40—all linked to behavioral issues & hyperactivity

The rainbow shouldn't be made of petroleum products. Image

📍Quick Note

These next 2 ingredients have been phased out in the US—but only after consumer pressure, not regulation.

Europe banned them long ago. That’s the point. The US allows first. Asks questions later.

Let's see them:
9. Mountain Dew

UK version: Natural coloring.

US version: Brominated vegetable oil (BVO) — a chemical originally patented as a FLAME RETARDANT.

Europe banned it in the 1990s, but Americans drank it for DECADES before PepsiCo finally started phasing it out. Image
Image
10. Kraft Mac & Cheese

UK version: Uses natural paprika and turmeric for coloring.

US version: Yellow 5 & Yellow 6 —synthetic dyes linked to hyperactivity, asthma & cancer.

In 2016, Kraft finally switched to natural colors in the US—YEARS after European versions. Image
Why does the UK ban these ingredients while the US allows them?

Simple: MONEY. The food industry in America prioritizes:

• Longer shelf life
• Lower production costs
• More addictive products

All at the expense of YOUR HEALTH.
We've been conditioned to believe our food system is safe.
It's not.

The FDA operates on a "guilty until proven harmful" basis, allowing thousands of chemicals into our food supply with minimal testing.

The European approach? "Prove it's safe first."
This isn't just about food—it's about an entire system designed to keep you:

• Sick
• Dependent
• "Profitable" as a patient

Big Food and Big Pharma are two sides of the same toxic coin.
Here's what you can do today to protect your health:

1. Read ingredient labels
2. Focus on raw foods
3. Avoid processed foods completely
4. Stay informed about food policy changes

Your body is the ultimate healer—but only when given clean fuel 🙏

I replaced all medications with cheap kitchen ingredients.

Here are 8 simple pantry staples that are more powerful than any prescription:

1. Baking Soda Image
Most people just use it for cleaning.

But it:

• Pulls pesticides off produce
• Alkalizes the body — huge for detox
• Acts as a pre-workout endurance booster

I’ve never used it before lifting, but I’ve heard testimonies. And I trust the earth more than I trust pharma.
2. Lemon Water

Lemons are God’s reset button for your liver.

Full of vitamin C and bitter compounds that stimulate bile.

Your liver filters everything and supporting it naturally with something as basic as lemon water is the kind of simple wisdom we've forgotten.

Your home is making you sick.

Here are 8 harmful things in your home (and how to protect against them):

1. AirPods & wireless headphones Image
Image
Convenient, yes. But safe?

They pulse 2.4GHz radiation—same as your microwave—directly into your head.

Studies link prolonged exposure to:

• Brain fog
• Sleep disruption
• ADHD symptoms

I swapped mine for wired. No regrets.
2. Mattress

You spend a third of your life here. But most mattresses are soaked in:

• Formaldehyde (yes, the stuff they preserve dead bodies with)
• Flame retardants
• VOCs

That "new mattress smell" you can't get enough of? Yeah, that's poison. Image

I'm obsessed with food.

I've spent 10+ years studying nutrition—so I HAD to break down the entire McDonald's menu.

Here's what you're REALLY eating (spoiler: it's not food) 🧵

1. McNuggets Image
McNuggets contain:

• Wheat starch
• Sodium phosphates
• Modified food starch
• Autolyzed yeast extract

But that's not even half of it... Image
They’re not just “chicken.”

You're also eating:

• Dimethylpolysiloxane (used in Silly Putty)
• TBHQ (linked to tumors in lab animals)
• Hydrogenated oils (linked to heart disease)

Since when did lunch become a chemistry lab?

The happiest country in the world:

Finland.

It's official. They just topped the World Happiness Report for the 8th year in a row.

Here's the Finnish Happiness Secret (that reduces all-cause mortality by 40%): Image
Image
Finland has 5.5 million people and around 3.2 million saunas.

That’s nearly one sauna for every two people.

The average Finn saunas 1–3x a week at temps between 160–200°F (70–90°C).

This isn't just cultural tradition—it's their medicine.
I'll be honest: I used to be skeptical about saunas.

Turns out, so did longevity expert Dr. Peter Attia.

In this clip from his conversation with @tferriss he shares a Finnish study that tracked 2,000+ men for over 20 years—and found regular sauna use was linked to a 40% drop in all-cause mortality.

Hot take:

Eating fruit will heal you faster than any prescription drug.

They're the highest voltage medicine on the planet.

Here are the 12 fruits I've used to help people heal "incurable" conditions (My Fruit-First Protocol): Image
For context:

Chemo operates at 0.01 angstroms of energy.
The human body needs 6,500 angstroms to thrive.

These 12 fruits deliver 10,000+ angstroms:
1. LEMONS

The most powerful astringent fruits for deep cellular cleansing. Nothing works better for detoxification.

I recommend lemon water daily. When you need serious healing, lemons are your best ally. Their astringent properties are unmatched. Image

I'm a health addict.

I've spent 10 years studying natural healing.

Here's an honest breakdown of 12 trendy diets (and which ones are actually good for you):

1. Carnivore Diet Image
Just meat and animal products...

My friends, our amazing body wasn't designed for this.

(& this is coming from someone who used to eat meat a LOT as a body-builder!)

A carnivore diet creates too much acidity & your lymphatic system struggles to clean it all up. Image
2. Keto Diet

High fat, almost no carbs.

Your beautiful cells NEED glucose for energy.

When you cut carbs, you're starving cells of their primary fuel.

ATP (cellular energy) requires sugar—this diet denies your body what it needs long-term.
