This may change your mind…
I could write a whole series of articles on this one, including the cancer-causing chemical, acrylamide, that all french fries and potato chips contain.
For now, just take a look at the following list of ‘extra’ ingredients you get in a fast food hamburger. In addition to meat from 1,000 different cows, you get a hearty blend of…
| 1,1,1-trichloroethane 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene BHC, alpha chloroform chlorotoluene, o- chlorpyrifos DDE, p,p* DDT, p,p* dichlorobenzene, p- dieldrin dephenyl 2-ethylhexyl phosphate ethyl benzene heptachlor epoxide lindane styrene |
terachloroethylene toluene trichloroehtylenexylene, m- and/or p- xylene, o- xylene* chlorpyrifos-methyl cumene (isopropyl benzene) diazinon dicamba ethyl benzene enthyelenethioursa iprodione malathion pirimiphos-methyl propylbenzene, n- trichloroethylene |
* Ingredients taken from the FDA’s official report on pesticide residues on American fast food.
Did you notice some of the hidden gems in this list? How about malathion, DDT, chloroform…
I’m hungry already, aren’t you?
All the best to you for your health and happiness,
