Number 10, Twinkies. Let's talk about the number one banned food item that we all know and love, Twinkies
0:32
Yes, those delicious, spongy, cream-filled cakes that we can't resist. But why are they banned
0:38
Well, it's all because of one ingredient, yellow 5-dye. This artificial dye is linked to numerous health problems
0:46
including hyperactivity, allergies, and even cancer. In fact, the EU requires warning labels on foods that contain artificial dyes
0:54
and some countries like Austria, Finland, and Norway don't even allow Twinkies on their shelves
1:00
But Yellow 5 isn't just found in Twinkies. It's also used to give many foods that bright orange
1:06
color that we all know and love, like cheese-flavored snacks and macaroni and cheese
1:11
Number 9. Stovetop Stuffing Stovetop stuffing has been a Thanksgiving staple in many households for decades
1:18
It's easy to make and adds a delicious touch to any turkey dinner. However
1:23
Not everyone can enjoy this savory side dish due to the ban on two key ingredients
1:28
Number 8. Coffee Mate Coffee Creamer Now, you might be wondering, why would a coffee creamer be banned
1:34
Well, it turns out that the reason is pretty serious. The main ingredients in Coffee Mate are hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils
1:43
which have been linked to some pretty serious health problems. These oils are commonly found in all sorts of processed foods from margarine and fried foods to baked goods and snacks But the problem is that they incredibly unhealthy Hydrogenated oils are created through a process called hydrogenation
2:00
which turns liquid oils into solid fats. This process creates trans fats, which have been shown
2:06
to raise your LDL or bad cholesterol levels and lower your HDL or good cholesterol levels
2:11
This can lead to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke
2:15
Number 7. Ritz crackers. Yes, you heard that right. Ritz crackers have been banned in several
2:22
countries, including Australia, Switzerland, Hungary, Iceland, Norway, and Denmark. So what's the deal with Ritz crackers and why have they been banned
2:31
One of the main reasons behind the ban is the use of hydrogenated cottonseed oils in crackers
2:37
These oils are considered to be unhealthy and have been linked to various health problems
2:41
including heart disease and high cholesterol levels. Hydrogenation is a process in which liquid vegetable oils are converted into a solid form. This is done by adding
2:51
hydrogen atoms to the oil. However, it also creates trans fats, which are harmful to the body
2:57
Number six, Skittles. Skittles have been banned due to their ingredients. So what's the deal with
3:03
Skittles and why are they being targeted? Well, Skittles contain two artificial colorings
3:08
yellow five and yellow six, which have been linked to various health concerns. These colors
3:13
are derived from coal tar and have been known to cause hyperactivity in children, allergic reactions
3:19
and even cancer in some cases. It's not surprising that some countries have taken action against this
3:25
harmful ingredient. But that's not the only reason Skittles have been banned. In the country of
3:30
Norway, Skittles were banned due to the presence of titanium dioxide, an ingredient commonly found
3:36
in products such as milk, coffee creamer, salad dressing, candy, chocolate, chewing gum, snacks
3:42
sauces and even vitamin supplements Titanium dioxide is used as a whitening agent However it also been linked to health concerns such as inflammation damage to DNA and even cancer

Number 5. U.S. Pork When it comes to pork, The United States is one of the largest producers in the world
4:12
But did you know there's a dirty little secret that the pork industry doesn't want you to know about
4:18
It's called ractipamine, an animal feed additive that's used in U.S. pigs to help them grow faster and become leaner
4:25
But what's the cost of this chemical for human and animal health? And why is U.S. pork banned in several countries
4:32
Let's check ractipamine. This chemical is a beta agonist that acts like a growth hormone in pigs, causing them to gain muscle and reduce fat
4:40
Ractipamine can cause cardiovascular and nervous system disorders. Number 4. Pre-packaged ground beef
4:47
Are you a fan of pre-packaged ground beef? Well, let's talk about what's really in it
4:52
You might be surprised to learn that pink slime you sometimes see in ground beef is actually a byproduct of beef prepared with ammonia gas
5:00
This additive is used as a filler in ground beef and it's not just in the meat industry
5:06
Did you know that U.S. beef containing this pink slime is banned in the EU
5:10
That's right. The European Union has strict regulations in place that prevent the use of this controversial additive in ground beef
5:18
Number 3. Swiss Rolls Ah, Swiss rolls. Is there anything quite as satisfying as biting into a fluffy sponge cake filled with rich, creamy frosting
5:28
These classic treats have been a favorite snack for generations, but did you know that not all Swiss rolls are created equal
5:35
While the brown and white color scheme of Swiss rolls may look innocent enough the truth is that many of these tasty snacks contain artificial dyes like Yellow 5 and Red 40 In fact both Norway and Austria have banned the
5:48
use of Yellow 5 and Red 40 in food products due to concerns about their safety. Some studies have
5:53
suggested that these dyes may be linked to hyperactivity and other behavioral issues in
5:58
children. Number 2. Maraschino Cherries. When it comes to the world of food, there are few things
6:04
more tempting than a jar of sweet, succulent maraschino cherries. These brightly colored
6:10
treats have become a staple in everything from cocktails to desserts. But did you know
6:15
they may not be as harmless as they seem. One of the primary concerns surrounding maraschino
6:20
cherries is their use of Red 40, a common food dye that's been linked to a range of health issues
6:25
in children. According to studies, Red 40 has been associated with allergies, migraines, and
6:31
even mental disorders. With these potential risks, it's hard to understand why anyone would want to
6:36
give their children food items that contain this ingredient. Number one, farmed salmon. When it
6:42
comes to seafood, salmon is a popular and healthy choice. However, not all salmon are created equal
6:49
Farmed salmon in particular has been the subject of controversy and criticism. One of the main
6:54
concerns with farmed salmon is the chemicals used in their feed. Methylmercury and dioxins are often
7:00
found in the feed given to farm salmon. These chemicals can accumulate in the fish and eventually
7:05
make their way onto our dinner plates. Not only is this concerning for our health, but it also has
7:11
environmental implications. It's important to be aware of what we consume and how it affects our
7:16
health. Which banned American foods surprised you the most, and what steps will you take to avoid
7:22
