10. Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate
This is another additive to the bread products, and it has been shown in studies to induce food intolerances in many people.
11. High Fructose Corn Syrup
Used in sodas, fruit pies, and ice cream toppings, high fructose corn syrup contains contaminants, including mercury, which are not measured or regulated in any way by the FDA. The corn that is used to make this sweetener comes from GM corn, which only makes this ingredient even more dangerous. High fructose corn syrup has been linked to numerous diseases, including cancer. The link between soda, which contains high levels of this toxic GMO sweetener, and cancer is absolutely undeniable.
12. Dextrose
This is a fancy name for plain old sugar. You will find dextrose listed on just about every product in Mickey D’s. It adds flavor and keeps you addicted to their foods so that you come back for more. Sugar is highly addictive, and it is one of the main causes of obesity and all the disease that go along with it.
Every single mouthful or swallow of food from the Golden Arches contains tons of chemicals that you would never consider eating if you were adding them to your homemade meals. These chemicals (and there are so many more than the 12 we have listed here) increase your risk of heart disease, greatly increase your bad cholesterol levels, increase your risk of developing diabetes, lower your immune system, and cause damage right down to our DNA.
Although there might be many things in our lives that are out of our control, but what we eat isn’t one of them. Make healthy food choices, for your sake, as well as your children’s sake.
