SHOCK! French fries from McDonald's contains silicone and petrochemicals

Ex-participant of the program "Mythbusters" Grant of Imahara went to Idaho (USA) plant for the production of chips of a network of restaurants of fast food McDonald's to see the production process from beginning to end.

The investigation he found that for the production of French fries at McDonald's used dimethylpolysiloxane (a type of silicone), which is contained in the game is "chewing gum for the hands". This substance is used in the production of sealants for tanks and aquariums in the production of mold, conditioners for the hair.

Also in the production of French fries is used in the petrochemical substance — butylhydroquinone (TBHQ, E390), which is extremely dangerous for health. It is used as a corrosion inhibitor in biodiesel. Used in perfumes, paints, lacquers for nails. The maximum acceptable daily intake tertiary butylhydroquinone 0.2 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. If you exceed this dose, there is nausea and vomiting, possible hallucinations. In large doses the substance damages the DNA and may cause formation of malignant tumors of the stomach. When consuming more than 5 grams per day is deadly to humans.



Imahara went straight to the manufacturing plant in the network of fast food restaurants, where he fortunately found out that the first ingredient in French fries are really potatoes. However, add to the potato components at least trigger an alarm. In the list of additives includes 19 — dimethylpolysiloxane, silicone form in the gum for the hands, tertiary butylhydroquinone derived from petroleum, and hydrogenated soybean oil, which is TRANS-fats.

Good that you have been refused from eating French fries. But if not refused, then what are you waiting for? These ingredients are extremely harmful and dangerous to your health. Let's look at this closer.

French fries cause brain damage and cancer

According to Vani Hari, better known as "Food Babe", which in 2014 attracted the public attention to the ingredients in bread sold in subway. It added to the substance used in the production of yoga mats, namely dimethylpolysiloxane. Yes, Yes, the same dimethylpolysiloxane, which is added in the network of McDonald's restaurants in French fries.

It is also used in the manufacture of sealants for tanks and aquariums in the production of mold and hair conditioners. She explains that under some conditions, it even contains formaldehyde, a highly toxic chemical that causes brain damage, cancers, allergies and autoimmune disorders.

Interesting point. In Europe I understand that dimethylpolysiloxane not used for food purposes, so that in European countries prohibited the use of this component in the menu of McDonald's restaurants. Although McDonald's knows that dimethylpolysiloxane not be used for food purposes, in the countries not regulating it, they are actively adding it to your meals.

Then there is the issue about tertiary butylhydroquinone.

Those who directly participated in the creation of this chemical food additives, naturally approve of her so-called "virtues". For example, on the website of the manufacturer of the chemical additives stated that this "type of phenol" protects fats and oils from oxidative damage and increases their shelf life. But this site also States that tertiary butylhydroquinone is used almost in everything from perfumes and ending with biodiesel. Worse, they say it's safe to swallow.

It reads in part:

Tertiary butylhydroquinone also used as a corrosion inhibitor in biodiesel. In perfumery, this Supplement is used as a latch to reduce the evaporation rate and improve stability. It is also added to paint products, varnishes for nails and hair, resins and oilfield additives. And the European Agency for food safety (EFSA) and the FDA food and drug administration in USA (FDA) evaluated the tertiary butylhydroquinone and decided that at a certain concentration in food products, its use is safe.

Look into the eyes of a "quiet killer"

And finally, let's look at hydrogenated soybean oil.

As a tertiary butylhydroquinone, it is used in food industry to extend shelf life. And no wonder it is called the "silent killer". In the report, researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health and Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston States that annually, at least 100,000 deaths from heart attack in the United States can be prevented if people replaced TRANS fats into useful not hydrogenated polyunsaturated or monounsaturated oil.

We considered a chemical found in French fries from McDonald's, is extremely harmful to human health.

They are not natural and contribute to the destruction of the health of the heart and brain. The best choice would be to stay away from French fries McDonald's, as well as meals from other fast food restaurants. This will enable you to significantly improve overall health.published
