If you care about your health you will want to avoid this.

Hello,

Good health is really pretty simple. The two main areas are giving
your body the right nutrition so that it can function properly and
avoiding as much as you can things that will cause the body problems.

Food is something that the body needs but if you eat at restaurants
alot, especially fast food, you have no idea what you are really
putting in your body. If you care about your health eat at home
more and eat less processed foods. Increase the organic foods
that you eat. You can have great health with lots of energy and look
many years younger than your chronological age but you have to
be willing to do your part. Over the years if you have too many
toxins your body will start to break down and not function right.
Below is a good article highlighting why you want to avoid fast food
as much as possible.


McDonald’s Forced to Stop Using Ammonia-Tainted ‘Pink Slime’ in Meat
5th February 2012

McDonald’s has recently caved to consumer demands to cease the utilization of ‘pink slime’ scrap meat covered with ammonium hydroxide in their hamburgers and chicken sandwiches. The announcement highlights the fact that there are many health-crushing additives within the McDonald’s menu, and the reason that their hamburgers absolutely wreak havoc on your body actually has little to do with their high calorie and fat content. In fact, McDonald’s absolutely loves when health professionals neglect to mention the toxic ingredients hidden in their food.

The change was mostly made possible by Jamie Oliver, a celebrity chef who has recently gone on a campaign against the fast food giant. After heavily publicizing the fact that McDonald’s was using the ‘pink slime’ treated with ammonium hydroxide, food activists began to take action. However, the change does not mean that McDonald’s food choices are much better for you — in fact, they are still very damaging to your health. Oliver himself explains:

"Basically, we’re taking a product that would be sold at the cheapest form for dogs and after this process we can give it to humans," said the TV chef.

A History of McDonald’s Additives

This is not the only known additive in McDonald’s food items that has sparked controversy. It was previously revealed that McDonald’s McNuggets contain a similarly-disturbing ingredient, helping to establish the reputation of worst food item on the planet. You would think that the ingredients for chicken nuggets would consist of bread and chicken, perhaps a bit of seasoning for flavor.

In contrast, McNuggets contain 7 different ingredients, many of which contain sub-ingredients. Among these include substances that make up the ‘meat’ of the McNuggets. Instead of using real meat, the ingredient list calls for sodium phosphate, safflower oil, wheat starch, dextrose, and a particularly dangerous substance known as autolyzed yeast extract. Autolyzed yeast extract is similar to MSG, an artificial sweetener that has been linked to obesity and other health conditions.

What’s more, McNuggets contain a whole other list of threatening ingredients like dimethylpolysiloxane. A type of silicone used in breast implants and silly putty. Dimethylpolysiloxane is used as an anti-foaming agent in the nuggets.

It is quite clear that even while ignoring the pink slime scrap meat from McDonald’s food items, these synthetic meal items are still a very real threat to your overall wellness. You can view Oliver’s video covering the pink slime below:
