cosmetic chemicals in fast food


Its bad enough health care products have these chemicals in them, but food?! Another reason eating healthy foods is a must.

1)Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate: A common ‘dough conditioner’ used in many fast food chains’ “artisanal breads”, SSL i
s also found in shampoos and soaps. Fast food companies like to make SSL seem like a natural part of the breadmaking process, even though bread has been made for thousands of years — and still is — without it.

2) Benzoyl peroxide: Recently banned in China, benzoyl peroxide is the active ingredient in acne creams — and commonly used to bleach white flour in the United States (and therefore used to make almost all fast food breads). Neutrogena sandwich, anyone?

3) Disodium phosphate: A staple in mascara and mouthwash, you can find it in many fast food items. At Wendy’s, for example, it is present in their chili, cheddar cheese sauce, and Frosty desserts. Taco Bell includes it in their Southwest chicken.

4) Propylene Glycol: Commonly found in shampoo and mouthwash, as well as Burger King’s pickles, smoky cheese sauce, and BK stacker sauce.

5) Ammoniated glycyrrhizin: “Ammoniated glycyrrhizin is prepared from the water extract of licorice root by acid precipitation followed by neutralization with dilute ammonia.” It’s commonly used in facial mask products, and is also an ingredient in Burger King’s ‘breakfast syrup’.

6) Calcium Disodium EDTA (Ethylenediaminetetraacetate): Used as a stabilizer in skin products and hair conditioner, you can also find this used as a “flavor protectant” in most fast food sauces, dips, and dressings, including Taco Bell’s bacon ranch sauce. Arby’s light Italian dressing, and Burger King’s tartar sauce.
