McDonald's french fries found to contain Silly Putty ingredient and petroleum chemical!
[link to www.naturalnews.com]

Grant Imahara, host of the eye-opening show Mythbusters, was at it again. This time, he didn't set out to get involved with crash test dummies or explosives. Instead, he recently focused on a specific food -- which it can hardly be called -- at McDonald's: french fries.

Imahara went directly to the fast food chain's processing plant in the potato-loving state, where he thankfully learned that the fries' first ingredient are indeed spuds. However, the ingredients that followed are disturbing to say the least. Included on the list of 19 items are dimethylpolysiloxane, a form of silicone found in Silly Putty, tertiary butylhydroquinone (TBHQ), a petrol-based chemical, and hydrogenated soybean oil, which is a manufactured form of trans fat.(1)

Good thing you gave up on their fries a long time ago. If you haven't, what are you waiting for? These ingredients are downright unhealthy, a Franken-food that can wreak havoc on the body. Let's take a closer look.

Brain damage and cancer with your fries?

According to Vani Hari, more commonly known as the "Food Babe" who helped bring Subway's bread ingredients into the spotlight in 2014 for their use of a substance that's also used in yoga mats, dimethylpolysiloxane should be avoided. The McDonald's french fry ingredient is the same as what's found in aquarium tank sealants, mold release agents and hair conditioners. In some cases, she explains that it even contains formaldehyde, a highly toxic chemical associated with brain damage, cancer, allergies and auto-immune disorders.(2)

"With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things." William Wordsworth

And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe—the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.

John F. Kennedy Inaugural Address

Lincoln's economic advisor Henry C. Carey explained the universal issue in his 1851 Harmony of Interests:

"Two systems are before the world.... One looks to pauperism, ignorance, depopulation, and barbarism; the other to increasing wealth, comfort, intelligence, combination of action, and civilization. One looks towards universal war; the other towards universal peace. One is the English system; the other ... the American system, for ... elevating while equalizing the condition of man throughout the world."

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

Every week somebody comes out with some horrible ingredient in McDonald's, but it doesn't matter. Those that eat it will, those that don't just won't.

Somebody could literally discover that Big Mac patties are made of 100% cow feces and it would not deter anybody that eats it regularely from getting one.

BS article. Long time Mythbusters fan here. Anyone that's seen even 3 episodes, even from the earlier seasons, would not call Grant a host.

Remember everything on Earth is just a molecule or two off for everything else. Remember like 10 years ago. It was all over the internet, that margarine in the tub was really plastic with coloring and softeners.

I'm not saying I trust companies. But how and why in the world would anyone mess up a potato? Seems like it'd cost more to add shit to potatoes. They're already cheap to buy, easy to grow and harvest. They can be in cool dark storage for like a year without going bad.

NaturalNews is also a somewhat suspect website, they're 100% agenda driven.

It wont save those who don't eat it for long, they get to detoriate just like the rest. I see many people who have eaten all of the "right" things just as sick as those who eat false food. All you have to do is look at your local water quality reports and see what is in your water.

It needs to be determined who is responsible for the addition of these harmful chemicals into the food of MILLIONS, and that person (or people) need to be hung by the neck until almost dead. Then, be given a month to recoop, so that they may be lined up and SHOT.
