In 1982, researchers in Japan published the first of a series of studies showing that potassium bromate causes cancer in the thyroids, kidneys and other body parts of rats and mice. Since then, potassium bromate has been banned in European food products, as well as the United Kingdom, since 1990. Canada followed shortly thereafter in 1994. Sri Lanka in 2001, China in 2005, with Nigeria, Brazil, and Peru all banning this known carcinogen recently according to the latest report from Wikipedia. Insert shot at Wikipedia here.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Potassium Bromide can still be found in the U.S. in Gatorade, McDonald’s bread and other fast food products. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-01-21/news/ct-met-banned-food-additives-sidebar-20130121_1_potassium-bromate-flour-probable-carcinogen
The question is two-fold. Do you avoid Potassium Bromate? Why is it still legal in the U.S., if we have an FDA, what the hell do they do?
You brought up Gatorade – we used to drink it as kids when it was basically just poorly flavored salty water. That shit is just about undrinkable now with all the unpronounceable ingredients it has in it.
You answered your own question when you said that these chemical additives approved by the FDA are harmful to rats. That should raise the question in Sheeple minds: Why are the Elite and their FDA etc trying to kill off the Goy?

Astute readers will notice this only covers the “A”s.
Our food is weaponized to end our lives earlier and make the elites happy. The job of the FDA is to make sure the process of early death and severe illness (to profit big pharma) is carried out while telling the sheep they are there to serve in your best interest.
Wheat flour is not only bromated it is bleached with chlorine which is a strong oxidizing agent. Truth is most people are allergic to some degree to wheat which damages the body.
A comparison of the rates of those cancers in the U.S. where it is legal and in Europe and other countries where it is banned would provide factual data -at least some comparative statistical data even in a not definitive link- to form an opinion.
Outside of that, opinions don’t mean much.
Rat metabolism and human metabolism are not the same, it is human data that would be lending itself towards valid opinions even if only statistical data.
Bea,
My wheat four isn’t.
I know it since I grind it myself from raw hulled wheat (also called wheat berries)
Having a shitty day of my own making, then I read Stuckys comment. Funny as fuck.
I’ve been trying to be as good I can, I drink my morning green smoothie made with locally grown organic stuff.
I cut up and drink one lemon a day with room temp water.
I apply my Magnesium oil every morning.
I eat a farm fresh hard boiled egg from our daughters farm chickens that eat bugs.
We get our white fish from the local fish monger.
Our red meat is from the Bambi’s I shoot.
Our fowl is from Pheasants and ducks I shoot.
Any bacon or sausage is from Creswick Farms where they rotate their animals in grass fed sections.
The yoga studio provides pretty good salads and vegetable juice drinks.
I avoid fast food at all costs, but sometimes I’ll fall for a Mr Quicks fish samish.

Anon- Good for you, grinding your own is far more healthy. I was really referring to white flour which is highly consumed by Mericans. Your method retains the vitamins and minerals.
Why is it still legal in the U.S? Because this country is run by Moloch-worshipping satanists who literally want to dumb down and poison the entire population and get them all on welfare so that society is forced to break down and be purged in a mass slaughter event where all these sick Moloch-worshipping fucks can sit back and feel the Death energy pour into them. That is exactly what drives this. It is so sick and twisted that people cant wrap their minds around the idea that it is actually real and not something out of a horror movie.
In 2013 there was a young gal who lobbied Pepsi to remove brominated vegetable oil from Gatorade and was successful:
“Sarah Kavanagh, the 15-year-old who posted the petition in November, said she’s “very, very happy” that Gatorade is making the change. Kavanagh said she used to drink Gatorade frequently before she checked the ingredients to see if it was in line with her vegan diet. When she looked up brominated vegetable oil online, she didn’t like what she found.
The petition on Change.org noted that brominated vegetable oil has been patented as a flame retardant and is banned in Japan and the European Union.”

TC ,I’m drinking a Gatorade right now.Contains .. water , high fructose corn syrup , citric acid , natural and artificial flavors ,salt and few other chemicals.
Hell ,every thing I eat and drink is bad for me and anyone else . It’s not being on the road because I eat the same fast food crap at home .I guess I should eat what little bb eats every day. Tuna or smoked salmon and low fat milk.Milk ,meat and water..
421.,do tell.The whole Damn world system is satanic to the core .
For any of these food-FDA related questions, just fine the manufacturer of the shit in question (QIS) then look up their political donations/lobbying group.
That’s all ya gotta know.,
This will sound conspiracy theory, though anecdotally it appears to be true:
Imagine that our regulatory agencies don’t really care about serving the interests of the population, but are simply job farms for bureaucrats to look the other way in order to later work at much higher compensation for the companies they are mandated to regulate.
Imagine those companies are able to maximize their profit through rent seeking behavior designed to extract the maximum possible wealth from their customer base. In order to do this, they would make them hungrier so they eat more of their product, and use the longest shelf-life, lowest cost ingredients to maximize their profit margins. They may also bring Pharma in on the action, as consumers that are always getting sick or getting chronic conditions must always be medicated.
If the sheeple start catching on to the game and getting uppity, you can always tell them the alternative foods cause cancer.
Answer: Not a damn thing. Except of course serve the corporate interests as most other govt. entities. They allow most poisons to be fed/injected/sprayed on what they approve. As long as it doesn’t kill you immediately.
But watch out for that Vit C!! It’s dangerous…they say. Fuckers…
One of the absolute worst ingredients that is present in almost everything is high fructose corn syrup. It’s probably the reason why we have a diabetes epidemic.
WC, started with HFCS last week. That’s what put me in the hospital.
Bea Lever says:
“Our food is weaponized to end our lives earlier and make the elites happy.”
Then why are are life expectancy’s always rising in the west? The natural lifespan of a human is not 78+ years. If anything, “food” manufacturers are primarily in the business of increasing profits. Additives and chemicals get the job done. The FDA and AMA sure aren’t going to bitch about it as endless pills and treatments generate enormous profits. The only exception would be when something comes along that threatens to kill the consumer before they’ve had a chance to bleed him of all his finances. Remember folks, the money is in the treatment, not the cure!
I ordered a heathy lunch today. Dos McDoubles, por favor.
The reason why they use these poisons in our food is simple. Money. It is purely a function of greed. They do not care one way or the other whether is is harmful or helpful to our health. They control the levers of government to avoid any responsibility. The most you can do is to educate yourself and avoid adulterated food as much as possible
It’s not only food ingredients, the U.S. also allows all sorts of toxic chemicals, known carcinogens, and known mutagens in cosmetics. Check out http://www.nottoopretty.org for more info.
I have two little girls who are just now getting interested in makeup and I have had to put the hammer down and throw many products in the trash. Of course, the wife is a total sheep and believes if it’s legal it must not be bad for you so I am always the bad guy who makes little girls cry…
