The Ingredients That Make Up McDonalds French Fries Are Toxic

EpigeneticsAndNutriton.com is a source for optimal health and wellness! One would think when it comes to McDonalds French Fries, that their list of ingredients would be short, right?

Maybe the ingredients would look something life this, potatoes, salt and some oil and bam, french fries. This is not the case at all, far from it!

I’m going to share with you each of the ingredients in McDonalds french fries and I think your jaw is going to hit the floor!

McDonald’s recently underwent a transparency campaign that was intended to project a more health conscious image of the Golden Arches while utilizing social media more effectively. However, it backfired, instead of people talking about how much they loved McDonalds or their food specifically, social media became a forum for people to write about how disgusting the food is, so they pulled the campaign.

I have to admit, that warms my heart as I know what’s in their so called food, especially the McDonalds french fries.

I haven’t eaten there in over 20 years and never will. My hope is by sharing the following ingredients of their toxic fries, anyone who still eats there, won’t any longer!

The McDonalds French Fries Ingredients List

Potatoes: off to a good start, right? Not exactly, watch this video right now. And, if you don’t have full 20 minutes to watch it, start at the 3:10 mark and watch for 2 minutes. I guarantee you will never eat their fries again!

Canola oil: Genetically Modified (GMO)

Hydrogenated soybean oil: Again, GMO! And, because it’s hydrogenated, it makes the oil even more unhealthy than it would be in its natural form.

Safflower oil: Inflammation is present in many diseases. One of the quickest ways to become inflamed is by eating too much of Omega-6 fatty acids and not enough of the Omega-3’s. Safflower oil contains a very high level of Omega-6’s and absolutely no Omega-3’s!

Natural flavor: McDonald’s natural flavor is apparently obtained from a vegetable source, but the “natural” moniker means nothing since it can even potentially contain the nerve and brain-toxin, monosodium glutamate (MSG).

More McDonalds French Fries Ingredients

Dextrose: Classified as a sugar.

Sodium acid pyrophosphate: This ingredient is apparently used to manage the color of the fries as they strive for the “golden brown” look everytime.  The chemical industry’s own safety data sheets, has this listed as hazardous for consumption. It causes inflammation and over-consumption leads to elevated blood phosphorus levels, which could contribute to osteoporosis.

Citric acid: What, are they’re using lemon juice? Maybe if they were producing real food, however, it’s more believable that they are going for profit and using GMO black mold. Follow this link and learn more.

Dimethylpolysiloxane: You’ll find this in many fried fast food menu items as well as, in silly putty, contact lenses, caulking, shampoo & conditioners, cosmetics, polishes, heat resistant tiles, and on and on…

Vegetable oil for frying: Which is a blend of 7 ingredients, including:  canola oil (GMO), corn oil (GMO), soybean oil (GMO), hydrogenated soybean oil with tert-butylhydroquinone (GMO), citric acid (GMO), and dimethylpolysiloxane.  Most of these were covered above already.

TBHQ: A petroleum-based preservative.  It has been linked to asthma, skin conditions, hormone disruption, and in longer terms animal studies, it’s linked to cancer and damage to DNA. This particular additive can be found in 18 current McDonald’s menu items. It’s potentially lethal, but hey good news, the FDA states it’s generally considered as safe (GRAS).

In sharp contrast to what the big “M” touts in its slogan, I’m NOT lovin’ it and you shouldn’t be either! Share how toxic McDonalds french fries are so we can spread this and help many people!

Cheers!
