One truth that can’t be ignored. There are over 1,400 additives permitted in our American foods and personal care products that are banned by the EU. Our FDA only bans or restricts chemical additives when they are proven harmful. Whereas in Europe, the manufacturer has to prove it’s safe before it’s approved.

I know which of those two approaches makes more sense to me. Yet my opinion on this is still considered to be nonsense by many in this country.

I trust the science, especially those scientists who acknowledge that understanding changes and our knowledge of human physiology is far from perfect.
