What's Really in a McDonald's Chicken McNugget?
Got this article from Mercola.com, which is one of the leading websites on natural health and preventive medicine.
Chicken McNuggets include several synthetic ingredients, such as tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ),
a petroleum-derived chemical sprayed onto the "food" or inside the box to
preserve freshness.
Deep-fried foods in general are also dangerous in
many ways, which is why French
fries remain one of the worst foods anyone could eat.
Also, about
one-third of the ingredients necessary to make the average McNugget (13 out of a
lengthy list of 38) include some derivatives of corn, which may explain one
reason why industrial agriculture produces so much of it -- in addition to the lucrative subsidies.
Doesn't it scare you? I know when I read about the immortal hamburgers from macs, I have been avoiding them a fair bit. Thats not too say I'll never eat burgers or nuggets again.. Its just... scary.
