Capsaicin is literally the thing that make food "burning hot spicy" The best remedy against that is cold milk. The sugar, fat, and protein in the milk will help wash away some of the capsaicin. Swish the milk like a moush wash.

Lol, my country banns everything 😂 we do have very strict food controls, though, for which I'm honestly glad. They also control if companies try to lie with their consumables. Like, when they say their olive oil is extra virgine, they literally test it if it's true. They even control the labels etc. Like, if the company says their olive is from some specific province in Italy, they check the legitimately. I ordered some twinkies to test from amazon before though..lol. But, you can get other products from hostess in special shops that sell stuff from around the world.

The Danes are in the business of fear propaganda. The Danes has no developed taste buds. They eat cardboard and their food is bland.

My boss's son was having severe psychological issues and eventually out of desperation they cutout red dye after his wife read an article of an experiment in I think Australia. His issues went away almost completely. That stuff is not good.

1:57 Part of the reason they likely say it may not cause harm is because we can't do testing on humans, and sometimes rat and mice studies are wrong! Not in that they contain incorrect findings, but that they sometimes are not applicable to humans. It's important to remember still we are two (or three) separate species, and there are differences in our morphology that will create different results in tests. I was in a behavioral and neuro genetics class this past semester, and we were shown an actual example of how these rat/mice studies may not be accurate to humans, as the example we saw the results for humans and mice were complete opposites of each other. (If people have any interest in that study, I can go back through my notes and see if I can find it from there)

The reliance on rat testing is difficult. Rats are more susceptible to cancers and allergens than the average human or many other species.

Kraft stated changing their formula years ago since buying yellow 5 and yellow 6 got more expensive. Kraft is trying to get rid of food dye from their products. The only reason i know this is my sister is allergic to all these dyes. She gets an anaphylactic reaction

The x2 spicy is so good. Sometimes, I save up the sauce packets to use more 🤣

I get everything on that list, but the hot noodles with Capsaicin. I mean, they warn you, that they are hot. By that logic, every spicy food should be banned and that would be pretty sad. I had the three times hot noodles once, they had a package with powder and that sauce, which was nearly black. I used all of the powder (it was mostly flavor and not very hot) and just a third of that sauce package and that was pretty spicy, but ok. I gave the rest to a colleague, who loves really spicy food.

I've also learned that some states are allowing lab grown chicken. So when checking the chicken look for "Hatched" labeled somewhere on the package

There are so many American products banned in Canada due to health and safety concerns. It's funny how we're neighbours but can vary so widely. I once went to a grocery store here in Canada and over the poultry section they had a sign painted which said something like "unlike American chickens, Canadian chickens never have growth hormones added to their feed!". Apparently growth hormones for meat, poultry and dairy are almost entirely banned here save for a few exceptions for cows.

Red 3 to 5 are banned pretty much anywhere in the EU. They were linked to hyperactivity and concentration problems in children in the 90s and basically all sodas are now coloured by natural extracts. UK Fanta being coloured by Carrots and natural pumpkin colourings.

Pronounce the Irn in Irn Bru like “iron.”

Brominated Vegetable oil allows a suspension of the citric acid that would otherwise not mix well with carbonated water.

I'm so glad that they're banning those garbage chemicals. No wonder I have a million health issues - I grew up on that crap. Now I'm disabled & I cook everything from scratch...but I may be too far gone.

I live in Canada and IRN BRU is definitely not banned here. You can buy them at Sobeys and lots of British shops.

Banning buldak for containing capsaicin is a bit weird to me. What might be usefull is a warning that it might be too spicy or can cause nausea if not used to spicy foods. I tried to find capsicin concentration compaired with chilli peppers but could find it (if someone soes please share). It is true that capsaicin is a "neurotoxin" because it can reversibly inhibit pain receptors. reversibly means they need a while but they get their full function back. Capsaicin is used to numb neuropathic pain (pain caused by nerve damadge) but it needs quite a few applications and the pain comes back after one to a few months. So what I am trying to say is I doubt that these noodles are more dangerous then a very hot pepper.

The purpose of the BVO was to retain the citrus in suspension in the liquid.

Seeing the peez is so crazy for me from Sweden, I’ve also grown up with peez but ours are like white or light yellow with no artificial flavors

I remember wantjng to try Impossible burger here in the UK but that was banned. A lot of American products are banned here.

Now he's an adult and he knows what to avoid but he still makes poor food choices.

Can do a regular mac and cheese otherwise :) thank you for spreading awareness of those toxic dyes! (and other ingredients). We eat Spicy noodles, but only 1 - spicy, 2 spicy would be too hot for me.

So is it only going to be in CA? If yes will they make special ones for CA? Hmmm

I'm not sure why they need until 2027 to reformulate food products with Red 3 - it's already banned in the EU and Del Monte sell the fruit cups there.

I’m curious what you do with the products after you bought them :0 Like the sodas and the snacks Sure they ain’t good but I hate to waste them 😅

I can’t even eat the off brand Walmart Mac n cheese anymore, not sure when I noticed the weird taste, but I’ve had to switch over to the actual brand.

Irn Bru = Iron Brew No idea why it's spelt like that. Maybe a Scottish viewer could answer that question. Thankfully Australia has a lot of these food additives banned already.

If I’m not mistaken, the ferric oxide in IRN-BRU (pronounced iron brew) is what we call “rust.” Ferrum is the Latin name for iron and oxide is when a matter reacts with air. I might be mistaken, but it makes sense considering the name of the product.
