The battle wages over smokers and non smokers. Even as bars and the casino patrons bemoan their hatred of smokers. Complainers refuse to see what's under their very noses and either wish to remain ignorant or find some group of smoker's to blame for the entire health problems of this world.
Folks it's about money (isn't it always). They tax cigarettes 250%. They fine bars and casinos and yet.. Literally there are 1,000's of extra synthesized ingredients in our food supply. Many poorly tested if at all.
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. (More About This Later)
It's found in nearly all our foods products. Study the 'high fructose corn syrup' usage on the ingredients labels you are consuming and you will understand, people are not getting fat for the reasons officials claim. Go, right now pick something off the shelf in your home.
Our food and water's being adulterated with literally 1,000's of synthetic chemicals in which we have no idea how they interact within our body's chemistry.
The Huge FDA List of Food Additives
This list doesn't even contain...:
* Obviously safe substances not cited in a regulation as Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS).
* Synthetic flavoring substances in 21CFR 172.515. The CFR does not contain a complete list of permissible flavorings. Certain trade groups such as the Flavor Extract Manufacturers Association have established expert panels to evaluate and make determinations on the GRAS status of their own products
* Those pending administrative determination
* Substances granted prior sanction for specific use prior to enactment of the Food Additives Amendment
* Indirect food additives
* Color additives
Food Additives Under GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe)
Designated that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts, and so is exempted from the usual Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) There are over 450 of them!
Here's a small sampling of GRAS allowed ingredients..
Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose - expanded substitution pattern (HPMC-ESP) Use in food in general, including meat products (a filler)
Phosphatidylserine Ingredient in yogurt (excluding fat-free yogurts), powdered milk, ready to drink soymilk, meal replacements, cereal bars, powdered beverage mixes, chewing gum, and breakfast cereals at 20 milligrams per serving
Carbon monoxide In modified atmosphere packing (MAP) for red meat products at levels of 5.5 milligrams/pound (12 milligrams/kilogram) of packaged meat
alpha-Cyclodextrin Use in selected foods, except meat and poultry, for fiber supplementation, as a carrier or stabilizer for flavors (flavor adjuvant), as a carrier or stabilizer for colors, vitamins and fatty acids and to improve mouthfeel in beverages
Conjugated linoleic acid Ingredient in yogurt, meal replacement beverages, meal replacement bars, fruit juices, milk-based fruit drinks, and milk-based beverages at a level of 1680 milligram per serving; in liquid cream substitute, powdered cream substitute, and milk chocolate at a level of 400 milligram per serving
Bovine milk-derived lactoferrin Use as an antimicrobial spray on beef carcasses that will subsequently be washed to reduce the levels of exogenously applied lactoferrin
Laccase enzyme preparation produced by Aspergillus oryzae expressing the gene encoding a laccase from Myceliophthora thermophila Use in breath freshening products (such as breath mints and chewing gum) as an enzyme
Glucose oxidase enzyme preparation from Aspergillus oryzae carrying a gene encoding a glucose oxidase from Aspergillus niger Use as an enzyme in baking applications and (in combination with a catalyze enzyme preparation) in the manufacture of foods such as cheese, beer, carbonated beverages, and fruit juice
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a) Use in the production of food flavors and flavorings as an extraction solvent
ARASCO (arachidonic acid-rich single-cell oil) Provide ARASCO (as a source of arachidonic acid) in term infant formula, at a maximum level of 1.88 percent of total dietary fat when used in combination with DHASCO (docosahexaenoic acid-rich single-cell oil; as a source of docosahexaenoic acid) at a maximum level of 1.25 per cent of the total dietary fat and at a ratio ranging from 1:1 to 1:2 (DHASCO:ARASCO)
Pullulanase derived from Bacillus licheniformis carrying a gene encoding pullulanase from B. deramificans Use in the manufacture of starch hydrolysates and high fructose corn syrup as a processing aid at a minimum level necessary in accordance with good manufacturing practice
Lipase from Penicillium camembertii Use on fats and oils to produce fatty acids or glycerides at a level up to one percent of the weight of the fat or oil
