loading . . . 400 Additives vs. 10,000. Why Europeans Live Longer, Get Sick Later, and What You Can Do About It. I bought an apple in New York. I brought it home to Europe and placed it next to an Italian apple on my kitchen counter.
The Italian apple was gone in two weeks.
The American apple sat there for almost two years.
I am not a scientist. But I started asking questions. What followed was three years of research into one of the most important and least discussed differences between life in America and life in Europe.
The short version: the food industry has been running two different experiments on two different populations for fifty years.
One population was protected by strict government regulation. The other was left to the industry to regulate itself.
The results are now visible in the hospitals.
In this piece: the eight substances banned in Europe still found in everyday American food, the two gut bacteria your diet is systematically destroying, what a Norwegian hospital discovered when it transferred bacteria from healthy people into IBS patients, why Americans are dying of heart disease at ages Europeans are not, the trick the food industry uses on every health-conscious shopper, and the embarrassingly simple conclusion hundreds of research studies have reached.
You are not doomed. But you do need to know what you are dealing with. https://gandalv.substack.com/p/400-additives-vs-10000-why-europeans
