The article mentions growth hormones. Although banned throughout the EU in 1988, they are likely still used illegally. Notably, the &quot;hormone maffia&quot; murdered Belgian inspector Karel Van Noppen in 1995.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Murder_of_Karel_Van_Noppen" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Murder_of_Karel_Van_Noppen</a>

Anytime we talk about &quot;banning&quot; something I prefer a very conservative approach (conservative as in let&#x27;s not ban things unless we are <i>really</i> sure). We are constantly learning new things that upend what we used to accept as science regarding nutrition and how the human body works. I think we do ourselves a disservice sometimes by banning things that we don&#x27;t understand (and sometimes we <i>think</i> we understand but really don&#x27;t).<p>That said, there is something wrong with our food. We have had an explosion in auto-immune disorders over the last few decades that is accelerating. Allergies to common foods are increasing rapidly as well. An allergist that I see has recently starting adding citrus tests to her test panel, because citrus is suddenly (and for unknown reasons) becoming a big problem. I don&#x27;t know what&#x27;s wrong, but I do hope we figure it out.

As a European I&#x27;m interested in knowing what most Americans thinks about this (their food has additives that is forbidden in Europe). Is there a feeling of Europeans being too cautious or would you like to have the same rules?

Interestingly, Kinder Surprise chocolate eggs are banned in the US but sold almost everywhere else.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Kinder_Surprise" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Kinder_Surprise</a>

In Europe, the food industry can legally apply lots of food-altering measures from a large bag of tricks. To name a few: Foaming up stuff, adding water to add weight; using cheap low quality substitutes; removing bitter ingredients from decaying fruit by &quot;steam-cleaning&quot;; enzymes in the bread dough ...<p>In 2018 or 2017 they removed the import ban for high fructose corn syrup from the USA into the EU. Now HFCS making its way into many supermarket products.

M&amp;Ms use natural colouring in EU, but artificial in US, even though the artificial ones are deemed more safe. Thank you, E-number hysteria.

Wait, what&#x27;s the problem with Red 40? Besides it being bug-juice, if course.

This is such a great example of market not regulating itself due to information asymmetry.

So, none of the things banned or severely restricted by the EU are actually proven to be harmful.<p>I&#x27;m not sure if I prefer the more liberal approach by the US or the more conservative one by the EU. In general I&#x27;m in favor of only banning things when they&#x27;re proven to cause harm, so innovation is not stifled because of some nonsense hysteria.<p>Since this is concerning my health though, I&#x27;m really unsure.

Well it could be worse. Ever look at the label on a food product imported from China? For instance, dried noodles or Old Lady sauce?<p>Here is how to make an artificial egg:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;bcgH6fgedoA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtu.be&#x2F;bcgH6fgedoA</a>
