Poisoned for Profit

The System Is Not Broken — It's Working Exactly As Designed

In the United States, a food additive is assumed safe until proven otherwise. In the European Union, Canada, Japan, and most of the developed world, the burden is reversed — a chemical must be proven safe before it enters the food supply.

That single regulatory difference has resulted in Americans consuming thousands of chemicals that other countries have banned outright. The same corporations that sell "clean" versions of their products overseas sell chemical-laden versions here — because they can.

This site documents what's in your food and home products, what the research shows about those chemicals, and what you can do about it. Not by making your own cleaning supplies in a mason jar — but by making informed choices about where your money goes.

Assortment of ultra-processed American food products — Ultra-processed foods make up more than half of the daily caloric intake for the average American — and most contain at least one ingredient banned in other developed countries.

What You'll Find Here

Food Chemicals

Artificial dyes, preservatives, growth hormones, and "forever chemicals" that are standard in American food — and banned elsewhere. Including the loophole that lets corporations approve their own ingredients.

Household Toxins

Your cleaning products, air fresheners, and dish soap contain chemicals linked to cancer, hormone disruption, and neurological damage. The research is not fringe — it's peer-reviewed.

Safe Alternatives

Real brands you can actually buy — not DIY recipes. Products that work without poisoning your family or your home. Where to find them and what to look for on labels.

The Numbers Don't Lie

2.4xThe US obesity rate compared to peer nations (42% vs 17.8% average)

10,000+Chemicals allowed in US food. Nearly 99% approved by industry — not the FDA.

"The food industry is allowed to self-determine that a substance is generally recognized as safe." — Thomas Galligan, Principal Scientist, Center for Science in the Public Interest

The Double Profit Model

This isn't accidental negligence. The same investment firms that own the companies making processed food also hold significant stakes in pharmaceutical companies. They profit when you get sick from their products, and they profit again when you buy treatments. Understanding this relationship is the first step to opting out.
