Popular Thanksgiving Staple in U.S. Banned in European Countries Due to Ingredients Being Linked to Cancer (Stove Top stuffing)
Breitbart ^ | 11-27-24 | Elizabeth Weibel

A popular Thanksgiving dinner staple in the United States is banned in several European countries and Japan due to two ingredients being linked to cancer.

Stove Top Stuffing, an instant boxed stuffing mix that is popular to have with Thanksgiving dinner, contains two ingredients, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), that are “known human carcinogens and may cause other health problems,” Dr. Neha Pathak, MD, who serves on the Medical Team for WebMD explained to the New York Post.

The product is banned in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan. Pathak explained that “these types of preservatives” are banned due to the “cancer risk.”

“A lot of countries have much stricter rules around what’s allow[ed] in food,” Pathak told the outlet.

BHA and BHT have been used for many decades.

Countries that ingest tons of tars and nicotine from incessant smoking are worried?

“I wonder how much you have to eat to get cancer?”

A few tons, the way these usual “studies” are distilled down to.

Nitrites are used all the time for who knows how long to prolong the freshness of meats. Yet it is a suspected carcinogen. You rarely hear anyone complain about that. It seems to me that the media, as is usual for them, try anything they can to denigrate Thanksgiving.

Sounds nice. Garlic adds flavor to just about anything. I do the cooking at home here. Just the basics, meat and potatoes spaghetti and meatballs, stews, casseroles etc. Nothing fancy.

I kinda like it. I just wish I had a little bigger kitchen space.

Have a nice Thanksgiving.

My mother’s side is Scottish. I have my great grandmothers cook book from Scotland. There is a “recipe” for haggis. We, as Americans, should be glad the real stuff is banned from importation. Yech.

And anyone who loves the stuff can have my share.

I haven’t eaten Hamburger Helper in years. As a renal and cardiac patient, it’s sodium city. No good for me.

When I was in high school, my high school boyfriend and I would buy Hamburger Helper stroganoff and a can of Campbell’s Chunky beef stew, no noodles or potatoes. We’d dump the Helper into the pot of stew and cook it.

It was delicious, but so unhealthy. I’m trying to do as much scratch cooking as possible nowadays, and I’m actually very good in the kitchen. I started at fifteen and am self-taught.

I even made the soup for our green bean casserole from scratch this year. The only thing I’m not doing is the fried onions.

My husband is a happy getting-fat man.

That stuff is not fit to eat. At least the Europeans can see that.

“I’ve never tried that.”
.
.
Neither have I. At 35% Sodium, that’s way too much salt.

“How do you like your ‘Hamburger Helper’” was a line from a the “American Vacation” movie where Chevy Chase visits his poverty-striction nephew, as the nephew prepares a cookout while standing over an outdoor grill.

As slapstick movies go, “American Vacation” was one of the best. (Asking directions in Harlem...sleeping at the wheel and arriving at their motel parking space by serendipitous means).

Banning cancer causing stuff happened long before public health care. It has to do with actually working for the public good. Which our agencies don’t do, because Kraft donates to everybody.

If they were banning in good faith, because it demonstrated a risk that would be fine.

However, our government agencies are allies to the New World Order and are active participants in steering the population into a serf-like status with no rights because those rights were traded off for support from the state.

They ARE banning it in good faith. We’re the ones that are bought and sold. Our government agencies don’t do shit. They aren’t steering anything. They’re just paid off.

I don’t believe that one bit. They chalk up every one of their restrictions and removal of enjoyment of life to supposedly our good health.

Their definition of a good life is a population that kills itself because their life has been made so miserable that death brings a smile to face of the person who offs themselves.

You might need another booster shot, because it’s good for you as they have said.

It doesn’t matter what you believe. Reality is reality. And the reality is that this one of many many examples of products banned in other countries for having carcinogens and allowed in America cause nobody gives a crap. They’re not removing enjoyment from life, these companies CAN make their products without carcinogens, but it would be more expensive. Their definition of a good life is NOT HAVING CANCER.

You might need to get your head out of your ass. These products ARE BAD. And we can’t be bothered to care. Because our politicians are bought and paid for.

Carrot eating caused death.

All carrot eaters end up dying.

(Well, did Jesus eat carrots, or Elijah or Enoch?)

I don’t know about the rest, but this stuff is loaded with salt to the point of gross.
