If you or your kids enjoy pre-packaged convenience foods commonly found in grocery stores across the U.S. such as Froot Loops, Swanson dinners, Mountain Dew, and frozen potato and bread products, you may think twice before purchasing them after hearing what they contain: dangerous chemicals that other countries around the globe have deemed toxic to the point that they're illegal, and companies are fined hundreds of thousands of dollars for including them in food products.

Gotta love how this country is so easily bought by the lobbyists and big corporations.

This is why I have to be picky about what I eat and even what I put on it when I eat! Thankfully, a nutrition conscious person would never eat froot loops or drink Mountain Dew on a regular basis. I sure enjoyed them in the past though...I wonder if the effect is permanent?

They didn't provide the whole list A bit over the top too.

Really though, this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Many preservatives have been questioned for their safety. Take for example, potassium benzoate, which has used in softdrinks and can produce benzene molecules. We all know what benzene is,right?
