Patrick Bet-David discusses RFK Jr.’s claim that American food contains harmful ingredients that are banned in other countries.

“Let's look at the US McDonald's fries. Here's what it looks like in US versus UK. In US, it's potatoes, vegetable oil, then you have canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor, then you got dextrose, sodium acid, pyrophosphate, salt, fried in vegetable oil, blend with citric acid, and dimethylpolysiloxane.

When you look at McDonald's fries in the UK, it's potatoes, vegetable oil, sunflower, rapeseed dextrose, fried in non hydrogenated vegetable oil. Salt is added after cooking.”

“Now let's look at ketchup. This is US versus UK and US. Ingredients, tomato, concentrate, distilled vinegar, high fructose corn syrup, salt, spice, onion powder, natural flavoring.

You go to UK, tomatoes, sprit vinegar, sugar, salt, herb extract, and spice.”

“How much you like Mountain Dew? You know how many countries Mountain Dew is illegal in? Let me give it to you.
Mountain Dew, which contains BVO that's linked to potential health risks, is banned in Europe and Japan, but it's legal in US.”

“Honey bunches of oats. These cereals contain BHT, a preservative banned in Japan and EU due to potential carcinogenic properties but you can buy it in US.”

“Coffee made, the coffee creamer contains trans fats, specifically partially hydrogenated oils, which are linked to heart disease. While the US banned trans fats in 2018 products containing them still can be found, many countries including Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark have stricter regulations.”

“Thanksgiving's around the corner, stovetop stuffing. This product contains preservatives BHA and BHT, which are suspected to be carcinogenics and impair blood clotting. These preservatives are banned in the UK, Japan, and several others European countries, but available in the US.”

“Papaya, corn, and soy. Genetically modified versions of these crops are common in the US. However, several nations, including Russia and other countries and the European Union, have bans on genetically modified organisms, GMOs, due to health and environmental concerns. But you can find them in the US.”

“Let me tell you about these farm raised salmons. In some countries, farm raised salmon is banned due to concerns over the use of certain chemical and antibiotics in the farming process. For example, Australia and New Zealand have restrictions on the import of farm raised salmon from certain countries. But you can find them in the US.”

“Now I'm gonna go through a bunch of these colors that you know, red 40. You have Swedish fish, Kool Aid, red vines. Then you got yellow 5 and 6. This is Peeps, Jell O, Hostess.”

“Then you got ADA. This is Jimmy Dean, Arnold Brett, Tillsbury. Then you have RBST, which is artificial growth hormone, which is General Mills and Land O'Lakes. Now we have olestra, which is Pringles and Lays. Then we have parabens, which is Cetaphil, Olay, and CoverGirl and then we have Pink slime, which is Tyson.”
