grass generally recognized as safe, where in America you have to prove harm rather than proving safety.
So for the past 30 years, the FDA was overwhelmed and they allowed big food to begin introducing new chemicals into the food supply that they allow that the food companies to self-regulate as well.
We think that's generally recognized as safe.
And as a result, you hear claims, I'm not sure if the number is correct, but there's about 10,000 chemicals in the United States that are allowed to be used under generally recognized as safe principles.
And those same chemicals are not allowed to be used in Europe.
So you end up with the example of people.
I went to Italy and ate pizza for two weeks and I came back and I felt fine while I was there.
But my doctor told me I was celiac and I can't eat pizza and gluten here, but I ate it while I was over there and I felt fine.
Maybe it's not the gluten.
It might be all the other junk that is generally recognized as safe and might not actually be.
It's so overwhelming.
Well, first of all, the FDA does not actually do any testing themselves.
They read the reports that are done by other third party laboratories.
And so some of the most common testing done on food would be heavy metals and heavy metals like lead and mercury and arsenic.
That they know are poisonous.
Yeah, that we know clearly are poisonous at a certain threshold.
Now, the irony is that the threshold is somewhat debated sometimes where they're like, well, a little pinch of lead might be okay, but a whole spoonful is probably bad for you.
And there probably, I believe, is truth to that.
The dose makes the poison.
Yeah.
