That, and the wheat in this country is also different from the wheat produced elsewhere...Which is why some celiac-disposed people in the states are able to eat bread/pastas overseas with no problem...
Same goes for dairy and meat products...
HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is also banned in most countries, which is why products like Coca-Cola and Heinz ketchup have different ingredients abroad.
Ah yes, the standard Remoaner scare tactics. If it’s so unsafe and all, why don’t Americans have shorter lifespans for similar ethnic populations or worse outcomes for diseases, etc?
DHMO, for example, is known to be present in ALL cancer cells. ALL of them. And yet we allow it to be used in bread, soft drinks, and even children's ice cream! That crap should be BANNED.
Simple solution - don’t eat anything made from grain, except animals.
Any form of bromine is really bad for your health.
It tries to replace iodine in your body but is an unnatural substance for your body.
Remember bromoseltzer?
Easy solution. Pick up a bread maker at Goodwill for 8 bucks or so. The only things they have more of are Forman grills and ink jet printers.
Bake in your oven in a preheated covered enameled cast iron pot (A Dutch Oven bakes as good as any cloche) and you will have the best bread ever or if you are lazy just let the bread maker do its thing.
The same differences occur over a host of products, from food additives, to preservatives to pesticides.
Europeans don’t have any overall greater concern for their citizens than we do, nor are they particularly any wiser. Mostly differences occur in local business interests, and the need to maintain cheap consumer goods - and the politics that flows from that.
There are also things that are banned in US food products and agriculture that are still allowed, and very common in Europe.
“HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is also banned in most countries,”
FAKE NEWS
Since I can afford it I ONLY by natural and organic stuff.
these days I mostly live on unprocessed food like fresh fish or meats.
I have eggs from my own chickens (you only need 3 or 4 of them) and grind my own wheat. I feel SO MUCH better
CAREFULLY READ your cheese packages. Many grated or crumbled cheeses have CELLULOSE. Wood. I heard they use recycled newsprint. Gross. Make sure your cheese packages do not list CELLULOSE!
Why does Europe ban guns that are perfectly legal in the U.S.?
I have noticed that I can eat bread I make, from known good stuff, and my blood sugar stays sane. From what I can figure, it’s getting good wheat. using filtered water and olive oil instead of butter seems to go easier on my brain and bowels, too.
More food-scare nonsense. I understand that breathing a mixture of oxygen, nitrogen, and a few trace gases results in 100 PERCENT FATALITY ... eventually.
What about those Body Order Europeans bringing home their loaf of bread just stuck under their arm , barf
Eat whatever you want, but stop trying to ban or dictate what other people choose to eat. Your imposing yourself as a third party into my decisions about what to buy and consume is nothing but pure socialism. I’m not even sure why people like you are attracted to FreeRepublic because you are clearly opposed to me and others like me having the freedom to make our own choices.
My screenname was inspired by Condoleezza Rice.
“why does the US allow additives that Europe says are unsafe?”
So people who buy at the day-old break store can use it for another two weeks.
Europe does lots of stupid stuff. I don’t use those mental midgets as my standard.
Perhaps because I don't give a raging crap about what Europeans think is good or bad, right or wrong?
If I did give a crap, I would live there. But I don't.
It’s why I eat only certified organic products sourced in the US.
