<div>The FDA is not doing their job. They’ve admitted that they’re not capable of regulating all the chemicals in our food, and American food companies are using the lack of regulations to their advantage.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Is It Clean holds those food companies accountable by rating how safe the food you purchase is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By donating to Is It Clean, you are helping to hold those companies accountable and create safer foods for you and your family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our App: </strong>
</div>
<div>We are raising donations to create an app where you can scan the food in the store and instantly get a rating from 1-5 on how safe the food is that you are purchasing. The app will also show you what ingredients are harmful and why. We use scientific studies to determine the ratings for foods and ingredients.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are taking the 10,000 foods and hundreds of ingredients we have already rated on our website and putting it into app form, to make this information even more accessible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This will enable people to make safer choices for themselves and their families. Big food companies want to hide these ingredients from families, many of which are banned in other countries. We strive to bring these issues to the forefront and empower families to make choices that help their health and not harm it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To build and launch this app, we are raising $75,000. We have already identified the designers and developers. Because we are a nonprofit and this is a labor of love, we are looking to crowdsource the funds for the app that can take down big food and create a healthier world for us all.

<div>To make healthy eating easy by clearing the fog on what is healthy and what isn’t through education, activism, and technology.

<div>We use a simple 5 point rating to show you how safe the food’s ingredients are and a green, yellow, red scale to show you how safe an ingredient is for you.

<div><strong>The health crisis by the numbers: </strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Worldwide obesity has nearly tripled since 1975, with 73% of the U.S. population being overweight or obese
</li>
<li>8 of 10 leading causes of death worldwide are correlated with, caused by, or accelerated by preventable metabolic dysfunction
</li>
<li>Research showed an average of 287 chemicals in newborn babies, most we know cause cancer and are toxic to the brain
</li>
<li>1 in 10 people in the U.S. have diabetes
</li>
<li>We eat 10x more sugar a day than we did 100 years ago
</li>
<li>60% of Americans’ calories comes from ultra processed foods
</li>
<li>Researchers found that risk of early onset cancer is rising with every generation, and <strong>major causes are increased sugar consumption, eating highly processed foods, and obesity</strong>
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>More than 10,000 chemicals are allowed in our food today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>98.7% of food chemicals introduced since 2000 were greenlit by food and chemical companies and were not reviewed by the FDA.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Have you ever wondered what BHT is? </strong>
</div>
<div>Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a food additive commonly used as an antioxidant to prevent the spoilage of fats and oils and extend the shelf life of various processed foods. BHT is produced through a chemical synthesis process in which toluene, a hydrocarbon compound, is reacted with isobutylene to form 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol. The compound undergoes alkylation with butene to produce Butylated hydroxytoluene. BHT is typically a white to yellowish crystalline powder and is added to food products in specific concentrations to prevent oxidation and maintain their quality. It is commonly found in packaged goods like Frosted Flakes, Stove Top Stuffing, Honey Bunches of Oats, Wheat Thins, Farmer John Breakfast Sausage Links, and Rice Krispies.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rating: <strong><em>We Avoid (Red)</em></strong>
</div>
<div>While BHT is considered “safe” according to the FDA, the EU has banned the use of it due to concerns that it could be carcinogenic and has been linked to cancer. While antioxidants are often considered to be anti-carcinogenic, research is mixed on the effect that BHT has as an antioxidant but demonstrates as a potential carcinogen according to animal studies.
</div>

</div>
<div>We’re raising $75,000 to get this app off the ground, and every dollar brings us closer to a healthier future. Your support is crucial in making this vision a reality. 
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donate today and be a part of the movement to bring down the corruption of Big Food and create healthier, safer food for our families.
