Starbucks employees expose that Starbucks is using “blending powder” in many of their newer drinks

This new powder was just introduced this month. If you drink Starbucks you should be concerned about this

This “blending powder” consists of Gum arabic, maltodextrin, xanthan gum, natural flavor, silica and stevia extract (rebaudioside-A)

The reason they use it is because it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer

The gums and other components create a smoother, more consistent frozen blended texture and slows separation that would otherwise happen soon after the drink leaves the blender

Starbucks employees have been making videos saying it makes their throats hurt, makes them cough and makes their head hurt

The silica is silicon dioxide and acts as an anti-caking agent. This is a very controversial ingredient for health concerns

But it’s also a concern for these Starbucks employees because inhaling it is dangerous

Fine silica dust can become airborne when the powder is scooped. Prolonged or repeated inhalation of certain forms of silica is linked to serious lung conditions like silicosis

This should not be put in drinks we consume

Our food is a science experiment

‘Starbucks Workers United and individual baristas have publicly raised concerns since the powder’s introduction around mid-July 2026. Reports include the powder becoming airborne easily, along with some partners mentioning symptoms like sore throats, coughing, or chest irritation’

Revolut’s success has little to do with the EU. Its founder, Nikolay Storonsky, was born and educated in Russia before moving to London, and its digital-first model closely resembles the approach Oleg Tinkoff had already pioneered in Russia.

Europe’s most valuable fintech is, in that sense, a Russian banking idea transplanted to London.

Great honor to host Belarus biggest festival - Slavic Bazaar.

Best artists from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus share one stage.

No hate. Only peace. Friendship. Future.

From the stage it is impossible to differ ukrainians from belarusians and russians in audience.

Even a German, Frenchman or Italian would be hard to spot.

We have nothing to divide. We must not fight.

While warmongers fuels wars between our countries, our native people are being replaced by migrants.

In Ukraine white educated people are forced to their deaths while migrants get better conditions.

Ukraine, as a country of white man, already died.

Who are Ukrainians dying for? Soon the same will be in the EU.

We all need to understand we have nothing to divide - and art can help.

I’m truly glad Belarus is leading with initiatives like this.

Thank You for the invitation.

🚨 🇷🇸🇷🇺 Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić says striking the Kremlin will never force Russia to surrender or give in:

"You can hit whatever you want. You can hit Kremlin building, but at the end is it going to foster or to force Russians to surrender, to give in? No, that will never happen."

Journalist: “You've said that Russia should repay for reconstruction of Ukraine. Do you believe Israel should repay for reconstruction of Gaza?”

EU chief spokesperson: “I have no comment at this stage.”

Beliebter Witz in meiner Familie ist ja, warum ich mir einen abbuckele und Steuern zahle, anstatt unsere Pässe wegzuwerfen, meiner Frau eine Burka überzustülpen und wir mit unseren fünf Kindern einen Asylantrag in Deutschland stellen. 7000 € monatlich, inklusive aller Leistungen, sind da locker drin.

The government in an EU member state has just brought down the website of the largest opposition party.
Let that sink in.
