So I was checking out a link that our professor sent us, listing food ingredients and nutrition facts, so of course, I looked up french fries. I chose McDonald's, because they are pretty much the standard around here.
INGREDIENTS: French Fries (, Potato(es), Soybean(s) Oil Partially Hydrogenated, Natural Flavor(s), Dextrose, Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate To Protect Color, Vegetable Oil Partially Hydrogenated (, Corn Oil Partially Hydrogenated and/or, Canola Oil Partially Hydrogenated and/or, Cottonseed Oil and/or, Sunflower Oil and/or, Corn Oil ), TBHQ To Preserve Freshness, Citric Acid To Preserve Freshness, Dimethylpolysiloxane ),An Anti-foaming Agent, Salt
Anyway, they have some pretty iffy-ingredients in them. My favorite in particular is TBHQ which is "petroleum based; the HACSG recommends to avoid it. May cause nausea, vomiting, delirium. A dose of 5g is considered fatal. Typical products are fats, oils, margarine" (foodfacts.com).
Check out the link, it's pretty interesting what these ingredients can do to your body.
