What is Mcdonalds Food doing to your Stomach

What is Mcdonalds Food doing to your Stomach


There have been many reports of mcdonalds burgers and chicken products having plastic components found inside them, one being known as "silly putty" no its not a joke!

A CNN report said chicken McNuggets contain the chemical preservative TBHQ, or tertiary butylhydroquinone, a petroleum-based product, this is toxic waste from oil after it has been refined.

many "fanatics" have conducted experiments where they have left burgers in isolation for up to months to years to come back to them looking brand new as if it was just bought.

This might explain it:

It has been no secret as for years all fast food restaurants around the globe, but most severe in the coorporation known as the UNITED STATES, have been using plastics and anti-foaming agents to preserve food and make it last longer as it sits to be bought by its victim

GM Cross Species "Super Foods" causes new forms of Allergies

GM Cross Species "Super Foods" causes new forms of Allergies
Janine leans her shoulder towards me with the jar’s label facing us. “I have to scrutinise the label on everything she eats”, she tells me. Janine lifts her eyes from the label to me. “She’s allergic to soy. It’s in everything!”

Little Emily’s plight is not unique. It’s estimated that 1 in 20 children suffer from food allergies and intolerances , especially during infancy or early childhood. Increasingly soy is one of the major allergens. With allergies on the rise, mothers are reading labels more than ever.

So why are we seeing a dramatic increase in allergies? Some health experts believe that it could be, in part, due to the recent introduction of genetically modified (GM) foods. If evidence from around the world is anything to go by, there may be a case to answer.

In 1999, the York Laboratory in the U.K tested 4,500 people for allergies reactions and sensitivities. In previous years soy had affected 10% of consumers. In 1999, that figure skyrocketed 50%  after GM soy from the U.S started to arrive in the U.K provoking public angst over GM foods. When massive protests followed, supermarkets started removing GM foods from sale and the rapid increase in anaphylaxis in children aged 0-14 stabilised.

Genetically Engineered Crops May Produce Herbicide Inside Our Intestines

Genetically Engineered Crops May Produce Herbicide Inside Our Intestines

Pioneer Hi-Bred's website boasts that their genetically modified (GM) Liberty Link corn survives doses of Liberty herbicide, which would normally kill corn. The reason, they say, is that the herbicide becomes "inactive in the corn plant." They fail to reveal, however, that after you eat the GM corn, some inactive herbicide may become reactivated inside your gut and cause a toxic reaction. In addition, a gene that was inserted into the corn might transfer into the DNA of your gut bacteria, producing long-term effects. These are just a couple of the many potential side-effects of GM crops that critics say put the public at risk.

Herbicide tolerance (HT) is one of two basic traits common to nearly all GM crops. About 71% of the crops are engineered to resist herbicide, including Liberty (glufosinate ammonium) and Roundup (glyphosate).  About 18% produce their own pesticide. And 11% do both. The four major GM crops are soy, corn, cotton and canola, all of which have approved Liberty- and Roundup-tolerant varieties. Herbicide tolerant (HT) crops are a particularly big money-maker for biotech companies, because when farmers buy HT seeds, they are required to purchase the companies' brand of herbicide as well. In addition, HT crops dramatically increase the use of herbicide, which further contributes to the companies' bottom line.

There are no required safety tests for HT crops in the US-if the biotech companies declare them fit for human consumption, the FDA has no further questions. But many scientists and consumers remain concerned, and the Liberty Link varieties pose unique risks.
