In this, the last episode of the podcast, I look back over the previous 9 years to share memories, to talk about the most relevant, meaningful, and surprising learnings, and relate some of my favorite shows. The programs will continue to be available online, so please share them with your acquaintances, friends, and family to continue to spread the knowledge of how many of the giant food manufacturers have hijacked the American food system and robbed many people of healthy lives.

In this second episode that reviews toxic additives that wind up in our food supply, I look at three more examples. In California, these additives were banned in 2023 as part of the California Food Safety Act since the federal government was dragging its feet. Since then, the FDA has acted on several petitions to extend the bans nationally. Other toxic additives that have not been banned are briefly reviewed to expose the extent of the problems. Most of these dangerous additives have been utilized in the American food system for many years. Many of us have been exposed to them since birth. Lastly, I make a significant announcement about the Food Labels Revealed podcast.

Throughout both modern and ancient human history harmful ingredients, intentionally or unintentionally, have wound up in commercial foods. On the intentional side, that practice is called swindling or introducing improvements to make products better. Either way, the object is to make more money. On the unintentional side, the addition of poisons to foods is accidental. In this episode, a few examples of the former are examined taken from the early 20th century.
