Viral TikTok recommends not buying 5 products in the US that are ‘horrible for humans’

The United States has cultivated an image of abundance and freedom of choice, particularly when it comes to food. However, this dietary diversity is not always synonymous with healthy options.

Spanish influencer Nuria Calvo, known as @nurycalvosn and based in Florida, highlighted this contradiction by sharing a striking video on TikTok. The video, which has already been viewed more than three million times, reveals five foods she believes should not be part of the American diet.

American food ‘horrible for humans’

Nuria, whose content focuses on providing advice on living in the United States and cultural differences with Spain, has raised awareness about certain products that, although common in American supermarkets, may pose health risks . In his video titled “5 Foods You Shouldn’t Eat in the United States the content creator begins her list with chicken, explaining that chlorinated water is used to clean this product – a practice that is reportedly banned in Europe. “You guys are eating bleach,” she warns, sparking concern among her followers.

Then, Nuria highlights milk as the second food to avoid. The influencer points out that all milk in the United States contains a hormone known as rBST, which is used to increase milk production. “It’s horrible for humans,” she says, expressing her distrust of the product.

The third item on his list is Coca-Cola, which contains brominated vegetable oil and sweeteners. This ingredient, an additive banned in Europe, adds to growing concern about the quality of soft drinks in the American market.

Food colors in products like Doritos and the popular boxed “Mac & Cheese” are scrutinized in his analysis. Nuria warns against the dyes “yellow 5” and “yellow 6,” which studies show are highly carcinogenic and can cause hyperactivity in children. “You should never consume products in orange packaging” she says.

Finally, the influencer warns against pork produced in the United States, which it claims contains ractopamine, a hormone banned in 160 countries. This marks the conclusion of his strong message on food security in the country.

The video sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many users expressing concern about the quality of food in the United States. Comments like “I wouldn’t trade the Mediterranean diet for anything in the world” and “What’s there to eat in America?” capturing viewers’ surprise and skepticism about American dietary practices.
