Trust the FDA?

The Food & Drug Association in the United States is an organization designed to keep harmful ingredients out of our food and drinks. But do you really trust them? They recently approved Brominated Vegetable Oil for use in America. This substance is used in 10% of all US soft drinks to help food dye to stick to the liquid it’s in. But the problem is that it is linked to serious organ damage. It is the same substance used for cleaning pools. In fact, it is toxic enough that it has been banned in over 100 countries. But yet the FDA has approved it here in America.

In other words, just because the FDA has approved it, does not necessarily make any ingredient “safe”. The most important filter to what goes into your body is you. Know what you are eating or drinking because it could save you many problems down the road.
