Never heard of BVOS or rBST ? These are the ingredients that have been banned from the food supply in other countries , but are allowed in food products in the United States . Should we worry? And how do you know if you eat a food that contains some of these ingredients ?
Coca -Cola on Monday said vegetable oil or BVO controversial chemical brominated all their drinks , driven by concerns reduce ingredient is used as a flame retardant and are not approved for use in Japan and the European Union. Pepsi also said he removed the controversial ingredient drink Gatorade .
In a statement, Coca- Cola said: "All our beverages , including those with BVO , are safe and have always been - and will comply with all regulations of the countries where they are sold ..."
But if it is safe , why go? When it is banning food ingredients , not just science, but the public welfare , and politics in general involved in decision making . Thus, a " feed ban " in some parts of the world in search of certain foods does not automatically mean that a food unfit for consumption .
Even before the decision of Coca- Cola , which has been much discussion on the Sites "forbidden" food ingredients that are used in the food produced in the United States
The good news is that the overwhelming evidence supports the safety of the food supply, approved by the Food and Drug Administration. But population data does not always apply to the person, and all of these ingredients , the options are also available to avoid if you wish.
Here are 6 banned in other countries, but approved for use in the United States common ingredients :
A . Brominated vegetable oil ( BVOS )
What's on : Some citrus flavored soft drinks and sugary drinks . Is used as an emulsifier to maintain the citrus fruit and other ingredients mixed in solution .
How to avoid , if you choose : Read ingredient labels on all drinks lemon flavor . The Coca- Cola Company announced this week the elimination of line BVO your Powerade .
Two . Food colors / dyes ( blue # 1 and # 2, Yellow # 5 and # 6, # 40 red)
What to expect : Lots of candy, cereals, beverages , salad dressings , processed foods
How to avoid , if you choose : Read the label on the packaging of all colors or artificial colors added. Look for products or labels which indicate vegetable dyes only.
. 3 bovine growth hormone - rbST
What's in : About 25 percent of milk and dairy products produced in the United States .
How to Avoid If you choose: . . . Look for labels that say "no added hormones " All milk naturally contains growth hormone (including breast milk) The FDA regulates organic milk is - without adding hormones Wellness animal welfare seems to be a major concern , not food safety.
April. Potassium bromate
What's on : Found in some types of bread, rolls and pizza dough
How to Avoid If you choose: For use at home, choose meals that are free of potassium bromate . Read the labels of packaged and frozen bread dough. Have a restaurant for the type of flour used .
May BHA / BHT
What's on : Some breads and rolls as a preservative.
How to Avoid If you choose: Read package labels .
6 . GMOs or genetically modified organisms
What to expect : Most products from corn and soybeans ; veggie burgers , protein bars , cereals, snack products .
How to Avoid If you choose: look for organic food, which are regulated by the FDA to exclude the use of GMO ingredients . Choose packaged foods with a label non - GMO verified .
The bottom line is - it is always important to be an informed consumer. Safety of the food supply in the United States is based on a complex set of rules and regulations established by the FDA (and sometimes in collaboration with USDA and EPA). Perhaps even more confusing , there are food ingredients that are banned in the U.S. (As cyclamate, low calorie sweetener ) which have been approved by the world.
Companies must seek FDA approval , including GRAS ( generally recognized as safe ) compounds as food additives. Experts and external scientific groups - documented scientific evidence of safety is required and analysis of samples for evaluation by experts from the FDA to determine on the basis of all the evidence, if an additive can be used in the provision of food , and at what concentration .
Many studies show the adverse effects are at very high doses for long periods of time in animals. The philosophy of the FDA is to document the damage caused by an ingredient used correctly. Studies were assessed for connecting any potential effect on the use of real life , not mega doses that are only theoretical . And it is often difficult to translate these results to the typical use of people, which is the case most of the debate focuses on safety.
In general, the potential adverse effects of a variety of food ingredients include the development of tumors, endocrine disorders, behavioral changes , rashes or allergies.

How to Be Happy Without Remembering Anything About the Past
You may as well know that past is not something to worry about but beyond this fact 80% of us don't even dare to get the heck out of the past and live in present but rather opt for and just wanna cry on what happened or what went wrong in the past.
-
1Remove yourself from past experiences. You need not re think on the same thing again again and cry over it and just find what was your fault in that.
-
2Don't think you were worth that thing or that person rather that person / thing wasn't worth for you. Indeed you deserved better than that. Have this thing in mind moreover when you don't really get what you really wanted!
-
3Believe in yourself.
- After losing a prized possession, start applying your interests in anything you get to never lose your self confidence in, just because you lost the most valuable thing.
- After a break up, remembering your past won't help or lead you anywhere. So stop crying; not eating your food properly, not having a proper sleep, just being a lonely person just don't think about what happened or what went wrong.
- Rethinking might hurt you more and more and minimize the amount of sad songs you can listen to. Try not to listen to them because it causes more depression and try hanging out with a friend you trust the most ; recall happy childhood memories ;go on trips picnics movies and where not with your friends
- After a real bad thing happened, remove this thought from your mind the second it comes to you; think of reasons to live rather than to die. Try helping/volunteering for someone/something ,or even just for a cause.
-
4Stop thinking about what others are going to say if they listened or saw what your feelings were/are. Try and share them with someone who is trustworthy.
-
5Try your best not to run from your past but rather face it accept it and try living with it.
-
6Leave all the things and the situations on time. Time is a great healer; as the time passes you'll soon forget your past and make sure you don't just remember past and cry about it whether good or bad it has gone and would never come back what you did wrong was a mistake that now cannot be cured but can be vowed not to do the same thing again
