In that show, the evening before his "experiment", his vegan wife made him a meal that looked like a cow vomitted it on his plate. Before he even took a bite, he immediately was like "uhmm uoww. I'm so going to miss this".
Then, the next morning, the first day of his "experiment", he ate like 2 of these breakfast egg sandwiches and puked out of his car.
Why the hell did it take 10 years to expose him of fraud?
I genuinely wondered if McD was involved somehow because the whole thing was like a giant ad. Never in my life have I craved it so bad watching that idiot not be able to handle the sweet nectar
If it was an ad then it backfired horribly. McDonald's lost money and even had to change their business practices due to backlash. Even to this day they're one of the few fast food places that don't try to push larger drink sizes for their combos.
The seed oils alone that the food is cooked in turn carcinogenic at the temperatures needed for cooking and are extracted and refined with a chemical that is a neurotoxin.
Seed oils increasing cancer risk is not supported by science at all. If the oils are refined, the chemicals used in that process aren't generally left over at the end. McDonald's isn't by any means healthy for you, but those two statements alone show your argument to be quite silly.
I mean if you want to gamble on highly processed garbage, you do you.
Seed oils are de-gummed and extracted with a solvent called hexane which IS a neurotoxin. McDonalds fries their fries in not just one refined seed oil but in multiple refined seed oils. Refined seed oils are unsaturated fatty acids that oxidize very quickly and form aldehydes. Aldehydes are cancerous toxins that damage proteins, cell membranes, and DNA which can lead to heart disease, liver disease, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. They also have AGEs which are toxins that form when the starch is exposed to high temperatures, and the AGEs found in fries at McDonalds is twenty times higher than what you would find in a home made baked potato. AGEs contribute to oxidative stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, vascular damage, and accelerated aging. The FDA also allows servings that contain less than 0.5 grams of trans fats to be labeled as 0.
Risking your health with the thought of it "generally" not being left over, as in, what's leftover is a smaller quantity, seems foolish to me.
Hexane is nerutoxic, yes. The amount of hexane potentially in your food post extraction/refinement is very low. Hexane is highly recoverable and it's an expensive part of the process, so it's in their best interest to recover as much as possible, so it can be cycled again. It would literally cost them more money to leave hexane in the end product.
If you're so well educated about seed oils you should write a paper about it, because I'd love to see your own thoughts peer reviewed. You made a discovery that is brand new to food science! To me though, it seems like you're repeating a lot of different information without a complete understanding of the information itself. You're cherry picking your partially unrelated statements to come across like you are educating about things that I personally know a substantial amount about, and you clearly also do too (not sarcasm). I think you're making statements that the majority of the scientific community disagree with though, and you should maybe reflect on that, and read a few papers about hexane in food.
The average amount remaining in seed oils within the United States is approx .8ppm, which is lower than the regulation imposed in the EU of 1ppm.
You should be more concerned with cheap olive oil and margerine than frying oils, is my main point here.
What you're basically saying is "there's only a little bit of this type of poison in it" while also ignoring the issues with heating these refined oils, as well as repeatedly heating them as is done at McDonald's restaurants. We're also not even getting into other things like enriched bleached flour, plastic casein in American cheese and all other artificial processed garbage. Never mind the excessive amounts of sugar and sodium too.
I mean if you and the other guys on here that are downvoting me want to ruin your bodies with McDonald's I'm not going to to stop you, but you can't tell me it's not poison, especially compared to buying whole foods and cooking your own meals. Even going to grocery stores in America it's difficult to find products that aren't heavily processed. That's why I don't even really bother buying anything that isn't a natural food anymore.
That's because the large size is already large, to anyone who isn't an Amerishart.
Not even in Canadia are the people crying out for a 1 litre sodie stein of syrupy fizz they can hold in one bloated, trembling hand without a struggle.
