Joe explains that American food is fundamentally different from European food, not just in ingredients but in processing. He pulls up a viral Instagram reel by creator Denny Dure explaining that American bread is stripped of nutrients, bleached with chlorine gas, bromated with a carcinogen banned in Europe and China, and soaked in glyphosate before harvest — yet people blame gluten. Scott adds a firsthand experience visiting a cheese factory in Italy, where the traditional four-to-six-hour lactose removal process explains why he tolerates local dairy but not American versions. Joe references how RFK Jr. pushed to eliminate food dyes that are already banned in Canada from children's cereals, and how industry lobbies have entrenched these practices into law. The segment closes with Joe reading the full breakdown live on air and crediting Denny Dure on Instagram.

What gets labeled 'gluten sensitivity' is actually your body reacting to an ultra-processed chemical product that barely qualifies as food.
