The Top Ten Reasons Not To Eat McDonald's


The Ugly Truth
 Top 10 Reasons not to eat at McDonald’s
1.       “Ingredients” in McDonald’s secret sauce:
·         Soybean oil (the soybean is the #1 GMO in the world)
·         High fructose corn syrup (a manmade sweetener that promotes diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome.
·         Potasiam Sorbate (used as an anti-microbial, and preservative…lol)
·         Polysorbate 80 (preservative and known to cause infertility, and spontaneous abortions)
·         Propylene Glycol (anti-freeze)
·         7 different types of sugar
2.       The processed fat used at McDonald's and other fast food chains promotes endothelial dysfunction 5 hours after eating the meal. Endothelial tissue is what lines the inside of our blood vessels.
3.       The state of California warns a person at their McDonald’s, that some of their products when cooked contain acrylamide, which in the state of California is known to cause cancer.
4.       McDonald’s fries are not dairy free, gluten free, or vegetarian. Their fries contain milk, wheat, and the oil in which the fires are fried contains beef flavoring.
5.       A large McDonald’s fries contains 8g of Trans fat, the only man made fat in our food supply and is the most deadly fat a person can consume.
6.       Adding to the constant lies McDonald's feeds us; their “quarter pounder” is made up of 45% water!
7.       McDonald’s burgers do not go “bad!” There have been many experiments that show a McDonald’s burger can go as long as many years without any observation of mold growth.
8.       Containing less fat, sugar, and salt your pet’s food may be healthier than McDonald's.
9.       A person would have to walk for seven straight hours to burn off a large coke, fries, and big mac!
10.    2,609 cows a day are turned into McDonald’s burgers, that is 952,285 cows a year in the U.S. alone. Chew on this, just because you are eating a single burger, does not mean that you are eating it from a single cow, improving your chances of contracting a food borne illness.
