Viral Video Claims American Food 'Poisoned' with Ingredients Banned in Europe

A recent viral video by content creator 'champ' has sparked discussion about food safety standards, with claims that certain ingredients found in American food are 'officially poisoned' and 'literally illegal' in European countries. The creator, who recently spent time in Italy and Spain, reported feeling significantly better consuming local bread and wine, contrasting it with his experience in the United States. The video highlights specific ingredients such as Azodicarbonamide, allegedly used in American bread, which the creator states is also found in yoga mats and is linked to health concerns like asthma and cancer. He also points to petroleum-based dyes like Yellow 6 and emulsifiers in American cheese, asserting they are associated with kidney issues and chronic inflammation and are banned or restricted in numerous countries. These claims have led to widespread online debate regarding the differences in food regulations between continents. Further investigation into the specific regulations and scientific consensus on these ingredients would be necessary to provide a comprehensive understanding of the claims made in the viral content.
