See What ' s Really in Your Fast Food
French Fries The humble potato , fried in a vat of simmering oil , and finished with a sprinkling of salt . What could be simpler ? Apparently , quite a lot . Fast-food fries often have more than 15 ingredients , including sugar and artificial coloring . They also have preservatives like sodium acid pyrophosphate and tert-butylhydroquinone , which in high doses has been linked to vision problems .
Soda It ’ s the same soda you buy at the grocery store . But when you get it at a fastfood chain , you get more calories because the drink sizes are so large . And we ’ re not talking “ supersize .” A medium soda at a typical fast-food place is about 30 ounces and has about 300 calories . And studies show that if you order it , you ’ ll drink it .
Hot Dog What ’ s in them ? Let ’ s just say they make full use of the animals that supply the meat . They ’ re also loaded with salt and saturated fat ( which most people get too much of ) and with nitrates , a preservative linked to diabetes and cancer .
Sauces The first ingredient listed for almost any sauce served at a fast-food restaurant is sugar . It may be called sucrose , dextrose , maltose , rice syrup , barley malt , high-fructose corn syrup , or any number of other things , but the end result is the same : quick delivery of lots of calories with almost zero nutritional value .
Hamburgers Ground beef , right ? Sure -- but there also may be growth hormones and antibiotics , which can end up in your system . And in one study , some burgers had over 100 calories more per serving than the fast-food places said they did .
Strawberry Milkshake Besides milk and sugar , one leading fastfood outlet also adds high-fructose corn syrup , preservatives like sodium benzoate , and artificial flavors and colors to this drinkable dessert . One thing that appears to be missing : actual strawberries .
