Vani Hari, also known as the Food Babe - shocking

"This is McDonald's French fries. I would like to argue that probably nobody in this room has not had a McDonald's French fries by the way. Nobody raised their hand during the staff meeting earlier today. In the US there's 11 ingredients. In the UK there's three and salt is optional. An ingredient called polydimethylsiloxane is an ingredient preserved with formaldehyde, a neurotoxin, in the U.S. version. This is used as a foaming agent so they don't have to replace the oil that often, making McDonald's more money here in the United States. But they don't do that across the pond.
This is Skittles. Notice the long list of ingredient differences. 10 artificial dyes in the US version and titanium dioxide. This ingredient is banned in Europe because it can cause DNA damage. Artificial dyes are made from petroleum and products containing these dyes require a warning label in Europe that states it may cause adverse effects on activity and detention in children. And they have been linked to cancer and disruptions in the immune system.
This on the screen back here is Gatorade. In the US, they use Red 40 and Caramel Color. In Germany, they don't. They use carrot and sweet potatoes to color their Gatorade.
This is Doritos. The US version has three different artificial dyes and MSG. The UK version does not. And let's look at cereal.
General Mills is definitely playing some tricks on us. They launched a new version of tricks just recently in Australia. It has no dyes. They even advertise that when the US version still does. This is why I became a food activist. My name is Vani Hari, and I only want one thing. I want Americans to be treated the same way as citizens in other countries by our own American companies.
