🧁 Preservatives in Everything: What’s Wrong With This Picture?

Let’s talk additives…

👉 In the U.S., there are well over 3,000 additives approved for use.

👉 In the EU, only 300–400 additives are permitted.

That’s nearly a 10x difference. Something doesn’t add up.

✈️ Someone recently shared this:

They spent two weeks in Europe, walking 10k–25k steps a day.

Here’s the surprising part: they ate twice as much food as usual… and still lost weight.

Back in North America, people often report the opposite:

- Weight gain

- Bloating

- Gut issues

…even when eating the same foods.

💡 So here’s the question for our community:

Is it the preservatives? The additives? The way food is processed? Or something deeper in how our food system is designed?

🔥 Let’s bust some myths together:

- Do preservatives really “keep us safe”?

- Or are they quietly reshaping our guts and waistlines?

- What changes have you noticed when eating abroad vs. at home?

This isn’t just about cupcakes—it’s about the bigger picture of how food culture impacts our health.
