Yeah, maybe don't allow shit like aspartame or TiO2 (read banning of it in Northern Ireland after it has been happily used in food) to go into production before establishing more concrete evidence for its safety then. Same goes for parabens in cosmetics (read banning of specific parabens in the EU), you can't act surprised that some turn out to have an agonistic effect like estrogen and be potentially carcinogenic in women and accumulate in vitro when you throw it at the market with little real safety data. The biggest joke I've read is a recent-ish review concluding that consumers can cross the maximum recommended daily exposure with just a few cosmetics containing specific parabens because it was underestimated how much consumers use.
