Nicely put, and moderate.
Yes, and still resembles what I suppose is the taste of a factory floor. At the end of a shift. In a hot and humid environment. In a place with bad sanitation. Need I go on?
Is that kind of image format pronounced âgiffâ or âjiff?â I try to avoid them since there doesnât seem to be a strong consensus among third graders.

Water, flour and yeast ARE made of chemicals. Furthermore, Dihyrogen Monoxide inhalation is responsible for thousands of deaths each year.

We mostly get cancer because we live longer, the longer you live the more likely you are to get cancer, which is mostly caused by just being alive (smoking aside).
Weâre not more healthy in every regard, but the single biggest cause in health problems in the modern world (again, aside from smoking) is our sedentary lifestyles. Diet has actually a fairly minor impact, in fact we consume a lot less salt, fat and sugar than we used to 50 years ago, see this study from the British Heart Foundation:
Overall intake of calories, fat and saturated fat has decreased since the 1970s. This trend is accompanied by a decrease in sugar and salt intake, and an increase in fibre and fruit and vegetable intake.
This is probably largely because weâre a lot wealthier and have more productive farming infrastructure, so we can enjoy a much more varied diet.

Then donât drink the stuff. But donât act like Jackhammer Jill has chemical companies going down on her under the table because you donât personally like it.

Science Babe used Azodicarbonamide as an example of how Food Babe is wrong.
Of course, Science Babe trusts the FDAâs GRAS classification. However, the World Health Organization warns âThe level of risk is uncertain; hence, exposure levels should be reduced as much as possible.â
The substance is not authorized for use in food products in the EU and in Australia. The EU also bans its use in plastics which will come in contact with food.
Trusting the FDA may be a dodgy proposition these days. With all the evidence that our consumer protection agencies are corrupted by corporate interests, I have a hard time trusting them.

I am not sure youâve ever eaten genuinely gross bread if you think Subwayâs bread is gross.
Can you point to any evidence showing any harm? Saying âThe level of risk is uncertainâ isnât the same as saying âthere is a risk here we know aboutâ, the level of risk is uncertain about everything we know little about, doesnât mean itâs dangerous. A lot of this is because itâs very hard to prove a negative, so this is frequently going to be the case, and thereâs not much we can do about it.

have you posted the wrong link?
Azodicarbonamide has been extensively studied and the theoretical
point with regard to the possible effect of unconverted
azodicarbonamide was covered by experiments using overtreated flour or
bread made from it. The evidence strongly supports the view that
azodicarbonamide is rapidly and completely converted to biurea on
wetting and that this substance is stable in bread. Biurea itself is
metabolically inert, has low toxicity and does not present any
carcinogenic hazard. Azodicarbonamide has been adequately studied in
several species and is similarly free from carcinogenic hazard.
Long-term studies in mice are in progress (Frazer, 1966).

Nope, I posted early ⌠as in before I pasted all the links. Sorry about that. There are more if you are interested
My point is more that this woman canât be trusted because she obviously know so little about science for it to be laughable. We shouldnât even worry about the origins of her fearmongering based solely on her ramblings. If there are valid points there, Iâm sure someone who has completed a high school science course is making those points without incorrect âfactsâ and paranoid opinions.

To each his own, I suppose.
Just wanted to point out that longer lifespans and better medical knowledge also contribute quite a bit to greater incidents of diagnosed cancer and cardiovascular disease. Thereâs a lot more than diet involved in those, and lumping them together with diabetes is extremely misleading.
She uses the classic techniques lots of nut job conspiracy theorist use. They pose questions with out acknowledging there are answers for them, and then make âcommon senseâ statements which sound like they make sense, but anyone who knows an ounce about the matter knows it is full of baloney.
