Sales by the fast food
industry are at an all-time high. Many people consider the meals offered by the
food chains to be healthy and therefore, can be taken as a staple diet. But Natural
News reports a completely different story. It is now being revealed
that these food stores use certain ingredients that can be harmful to the body.
These ingredients include preservatives, emulsifiers, artificial flavors, trans
fats, artificial colors and most importantly, Monosodium Glutamate or MSG. All
of these substances are known to be highly dangerous to the human body in the
long run.
The war on the human body
does not stop here. It is now being reported that the McRib sandwich offered by
McDonald’s contains ingredients like polycarbonate 80, ammonium sulfate and
azodicarbonamide. There are almost 70 more similar chemicals in the sandwich
and each one of them more or less retains the same properties. It is needless
to mention that almost all of these chemicals are extremely harmful to the
body. Azodicarbonamide, for example, is generally used as a bleaching agent in
the manufacturing process of foamed plastics. Though it is banned in Australia
and Europe, U.S. authorities; however, allow a considerable amount of this
compound in food products.
It is true that
preservatives prevent oxygen from spoiling food products thus increasing their
shelf life. But once these preservatives enter the body, there is a probability
that they would even deprive the cells of oxygen. Natural News reports that
the preservatives can deprive the cells of oxygen thus paving the way for
diseases. Some of the most notable ingredients that can choke the cells are
sodium benzoate, canola oil, Monosodium Glutamate, sodium nitrate, margarine,
artificial colorings, artificial sweeteners and anti-foaming agents.
