Thanksgiving dinner often includes Stove Top Stuffing, but some families might strike it off the menu after learning it has been banned in other countries.
This beloved Thanksgiving food staple contains two ingredients linked to cancer, and the health risk is serious enough for several European countries to ban the ingredients, according to the New York Post. The turkey version is comprised of a mix of bread, high-fructose corn syrup and other ingredients such as butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). These two two man-made chemicals are used to enhance flavor and extend shelf life but have been identified as potential carcinogens that can cause a variety of health problems, according to the National Library of Medicine.
