Chicken McNuggets, Unsafe With Any Sauce!

Would you take a bite out of a silicone seat cushion, even if it was dipped in Hawaiian Terriyaki BBQ sauce? If you eat chicken McNuggets you have!

One of the long list of artificial, laboratory food ingredients is dimethylpolysiloxane, an anti-foaming agent made of silicone!

Had any tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), lately, a chemical preservative so deadly that just five grams can kill you?

These are just two of the man made ingredients in a McDonalds Chicken McNugget. Only 50 percent of a McNugget is actually chicken. The other 50 percent includes (thanks to Organic Authority):

"White boneless chicken, water, food starch-modified, salt, seasoning (autolyzed yeast extract, salt, wheat starch, natural flavoring (botanical source), safflower oil, dextrose, citric acid, rosemary), sodium phosphates, seasoning (canola oil, mono- and diglycerides, extractives of rosemary).

Battered and breaded with: water, enriched flour (bleached wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), yellow corn flour, food starch-modified, salt, leavening (baking soda, sodium acid pyrophosphate, sodium aluminum phosphate, monocalcium phosphate, calcium lactate), spices, wheat starch, whey, corn starch.

Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with tertiary butylhydroquinone, TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent."

Fast Food Will Kill You!

A small McDonald’s meal that topped out at 900 calories was studied for its oxidation potential. The findings were not encouraging for fans of fast food.

“We showed that a small McDonald’s meal resulted in inflammation and oxidative stress at a cellular, molecular level,” says Dr. Dandona. The markers Dr. Dandona and his team used to establish the presence of inflammation and oxidative stress are the same ones the body produces when it is seriously hurt. “In the cells, we look at nuclear factor kB (NF-kappa B), which is the orchestrator of inflammation. When we get infections, it is NF-kappa B that gets stimulated,” he explains. “We were shocked to find that what infections do, food does, too.” Disturbingly, the post-meal inflammatory reaction did not resolve quickly — study subjects still showed signs of inflammation five hours after eating.

Dr. Dandona’s research also found that people with obesity who already had a basic level of inflammation and oxidative stress had a worse reaction than people of normal weight when challenged with a fast-food meal. “Sure enough, they start from higher levels of inflammation, they achieve a much higher level, and the inflammation is much more prolonged.” The oxidative and inflammatory stress observed with meals probably contributes to atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke.

There you have it. McDonald's meals and similar processed, chemical filled fast food fare can kill you! Oxidative stress from the free radicals produced by the metabolism of this faux food attacks the body's cell walls, cell proteins and DNA, leading to everything from artherosclerosis to cancer to Alzheimers disease.

The news is doubly bad for fat people. You were Warned!
