RFK Jr. is cracking down on dangerous chemicals in our food. He’s taking bold steps to protect American families from toxins hidden in everyday products. These actions target additives linked to cancer, obesity, and other serious health problems. This is about putting people before corporate profits.
The first ban hits artificial food dyes made from petroleum. These toxic colorings are in kids’ snacks like Skittles and Pop-Tarts. Studies show they cause hyperactivity and cancer. Kennedy’s removing these poisons from school cafeterias and store shelves.
Ultra-processed junk food is next. Frozen pizzas, chicken nuggets, and sugary cereals will disappear from school lunches. These factory-made foods cause obesity and early death. Kennedy wants real, whole foods instead to keep our children healthy.
Artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose are getting banned too. These chemicals alter gut health and cause cancer. They’re in diet sodas and sugar-free products. This poison has no place in American pantries.
Titanium dioxide is gone. This nasty chemical is in gum and candy. It damages DNA and causes cancer. France already banned it, and now America follows. Kennedy won’t let corporations poison our families.
Brominated vegetable oil and potassium bromate are out. These cause cancer and organ damage. They’re in sodas and baked goods. Europe banned them years ago. It’s about time America protected its citizens.
High-fructose corn syrup and seed oils face restrictions. These ingredients drive diabetes and heart disease. They’re hidden in everything from bread to salad dressing. Kennedy’s stopping this assault on our health.
Finally, he’s closing the GRAS loophole. Companies can no longer self-certify chemicals as safe. This change forces real testing before toxins enter our food. It’s a major win for consumer protection.
