Food Additives Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by your friends at the US FDA
The US Food and Drug Administration has a program that allows manufacturers to submit their additives and get them certified as "generally recognized as safe" (GRAS.)
Once your additive is on this list, you can add it to any food and in any combination with the other 1000 or so additives. No studies are ever done to check the effects of these additives in combination.
Is it ok to eat ergothionine in combination with dimethyl ether? Who knows? What are these two substances on the GRAS list anyway? Don't worry! You government has your best interest at heart.
The post I am linking to gives you a summary of the program and further down, click the "GRAS Notice Inventory" link to see the list. The first page is what they are working on now. I encourage you to click into the next few pages to see what has already been approved.
Many other countries have government health agencies specifically set up to monitor this list and approximately 700 of the approved US additives are not allowed in most other countries. This is why packaging you see in other countries has different labels and the food has different ingredients.
People who leave the US can all of the sudden eat foods they could not eat back in the states. People from other countries who move to the US often start getting sick from the food.
If you are eating processed food in the US, you are eating GRAS additives. As you see from the list, more are constantly being approved.
The fitinfun theory of weight loss and better health is:
- Eat less crap
- Eat more nutrition
The crap I am talking about is on the GRAS list for the most part. I also include gmo's, pesticides, and other additives that did not make this list.
The nutrition I am talking about is the cleanest and most nutritious for you can find. Reduce the crap and increase the nutrition and your path to better health will be smoother.

How is your journey to better health going?
Is your fitness equipment out handy? Are you on a "diet?" Soon we will be in Bathing Suit Season. Are you ready?
I lost "Half My Size" eight years ago by using natural methods. No tricks, just doing a bit better every day. I started on October 10 one year, and did not give up. Four years later, on October 5th, there I was - thin and healthy for the first time in my life. You can do it too!

Gross. A great reminder. Sometimes it’s easy to “forget” and just put the bag of cuties in your basket.
But nope. Another reminder to eat organic.

Yup - so true. I bloomed in health when I got to Thailand and I was eating as clean as I could in California.

It's amazing isn't it? That agency is certainly not working for us.
I do not eat processed foods of any kind. The benefits of doing this, besides not poisoning yourself, are reduced food costs, reduced waste, and better health.
I agree. My food bill went way down when I went organic. And I stopped having a lot of plastic and boxes in my trash!
