Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, @AlisaValdesRod1 Additives and Colorings
Synthetic Food Dyes: Certain artificial colorings like Red No. 40 and Yellow No. 5, linked to hyperactivity and other health issues, are heavily restricted in Mexico while commonly used in the U.S.
BHA and BHT: Preservatives used in processed foods to extend shelf life are banned in Mexico due to their potential as carcinogens and endocrine disruptors.
Pesticides
Glyphosate: Widely used in U.S. agriculture, this herbicide has been associated with potential carcinogenic risks. Mexico announced plans to phase it out in food production, citing public health concerns.
Atrazine: A pesticide banned or severely restricted in many countries, including Mexico, due to risks of water contamination and potential endocrine disruption.
Processing and Agricultural Aids
Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH): Used in U.S. dairy cattle to boost milk production, rBGH is prohibited in Mexico due to its links to hormone imbalances and cancer.
Chlorine-Washed Chicken: In the U.S., chicken is often treated with chlorine to reduce pathogens. This practice is banned in Mexico as it may mask unsanitary farming conditions.
Packaging Materials
Certain Phthalates and BPA: Found in plastics and food packaging, these chemicals are restricted in Mexico for their potential endocrine- disrupting effects, though they are widely used in the U.S.

My reply to one of her posts:
Trump's 2024 transition is 18 points higher in 2024 than in 2016. Why? RFK Jr is going after Big Pharma and Big Ag. People in the US have figured out that the Elite despise them and are trying to poison them. Elon Musk met with the Iranian UN ambassador. Trump has said he favors a Palestinian state. The total US military budget is $1.51 trillion if you count the money hid in 6 agencies apart from the DOD. Dept of Energy does nuclear weapons. Elon Musk will cut that. The US does not need over 800 bases overseas. You might agree with me, a Trump supporter, more than you think.
I disagree with CDBCs. If we still had President Lincoln's Greenbacks, we would not have a $36 billion debt and be paying a trillion dollars a year in interest.
