Toxic ingredients in fast food lead to infertility and death

Toxic chemicals linked to infertility found in Big Macs and Taco Bell burritos

Researchers tested burgers, burritos, and pizza from six top fast food chains in the US for various chemicals. They found toxins in 80% of samples.

In a recent study, Edwards and colleagues ordered from six of the most popular fast food chains in the US — McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Domino's, Taco Bell, and Chipotle — and tested samples of the food for 11 plasticizing chemicals.


More than 80% of samples contained known phthalates, a class of chemicals used to make plastic softer and more flexible. Phthalates and other plasticizers are commonly found in food packaging and gloves, despite their known effects on human health.
Past studies have found people who reported eating more fast foods had higher levels of phthalates in their urine, but this is the first effort to test the food itself with a new generation of plasticizers in mind.
Phthalates have been linked to reproductive problems and early death
Several phthalates have been found to interfere with hormone function, which can lead to a cascade of problems with fertility and child development.
People with high levels of phthalates in their urine were also found to be more likely to die early, especially due to heart disease, in a recent study.


While one Big Mac probably won't kill you, it's important to consider your phthalates exposure overall, Edwards said. Exposures in food can build on other sources of chemicals, like cosmetics and cleaning products.
"While they don't build up in your body the way that PFAS chemicals do, you still are being constantly exposed to these phthalates from multiple sources," Edwards told Insider.
Since the chemicals have been linked to adverse health effects, the Consumer Product Safety Commission banned the use of eight phthalates in children's toys and child-care articles in 2017. However, those banned substances are still used in other plastics, and at least four of them were detected in fast foods.
The researchers also tested for a new plasticizer called DEHT, which is used to replace banned phthalates, and found it in 86% of the food tested. Replacement plasticizers like DEHT are not yet well-studied for possible health effects, but the GW team found they "behaved similarly" to ortho-phthalates in terms of acting on hormone receptors.

Racial residential segregation means Black people may be especially at risk for phthalate exposures
The study authors noted that certain racial and ethnic groups are more likely to eat fast food than others because of many factors, including a history of racial residential segregation. Predominantly Black neighborhoods tend to have a higher density of fast food restaurants, and less access to affordable fresh food, Edwards said.
Because Black Americans consume more fast food than any other racial group, they may be exposed to higher levels of phthalates and other chemicals. Black women have also been found to have elevated levels of some phthalates and parabens in their urine because the chemicals are used in their hair products, although they're often left off the labels.
Given the lack of transparency around these chemicals, the impetus really falls on regulators to keep phthalates out of food and personal care products, the authors concluded.
"Maybe you want to eat less fast food, but that's not always an option for everybody," Edwards said. "Fast food is a convenient alternative to having to cook at home, so it should be not full of chemicals."

This has been a major problem in our communities for several years and it makes me sick.

More of a reason to make sure brothers are constantly detoxing and taking in supplements that will offset the BS that is out here. OF course, making sure you are being mindful of what you eat, consume, and even put on your body.

Damn fuck these are places I love to get food from too. I gotta start making my own food more often now.

When I was living in Winston on 2nd street off of MLK, I was staying in a boarding house. You know that entire area has nothing but shit food. I lived on that mess for a year. I took a laxative because I knew my body was messed up. What came out gave me a total new perspective on how I eat.

There should be a lawsuit, but there is a law that protects the food supply in
the US, and bars anyone from criticising it. That is why Oprah was tried in the
town of Lubbock Texas, for so little as wondering whether mad-cow disease
could afflict American cows, and why, in spite of the undeniable evidence of
causing obesity, no one has dared sue McDonalds and other fast food chains.

You'd be amazed at how low the bar is for food producers.

Especially in America there is some shit they are making America that they don’t allow in other countries because it’s so low quality.

I was telling a friend about how a lot of the food we eat in the US is illegal

It's funny, when we were performing in London years ago, the promoter was telling us how Burger King wanted to sell their 4 patty Whopper over there, and they were told to fuck off.

A relative of mind went to school in Toronto Canada. He told me about going
to Buffalo NY with his friends for a weekend. While there, they bought fried
chicken, and he was shocked by the enormous size of the pieces, and just how
much oil came out, when he squeezed them.
