MCDONALD'S was forced to reveal the full list of ingredients contained in its preparations in Switzerland. . Due to different food laws, McDonald's products are not manufactured the same way in every country.
The worst situation is in Canada and the United States, where food legislation allows the use of additives prohibited in Europe. So we are curious to see the ingredients used here in Europe as well. A list of carcinogenic, allergic, reprotoxic and neurotoxic chemical ingredients. Despite more restrictive European regulations, just look at the list of toxic products used in McDonald's in Switzerland to realize that much still needs to be improved.
Polydimethylsiloxane (E900)
This additive is present in crispy chicken fillets, in fish fillet portions, in MacPoulet, chicken junior, in white meat croquettes, in fried potatoes, in Coca cola diet.Toxicity: E900 is an additive whose toxicity is been demonstrated and which resulted in an ADI (Authorised Daily Intake). Prolonged intake causes immediate or delayed hypersensitive reactions, allergies and is carcinogenic due to potential residues of formaldehyde and asbestos. There is a risk of liver and kidney problems and nervous system problems. Pure polydimethylsiloxane as a chemical corrodes many metals, irritates the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. If ingested, it causes nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
Titanium dioxide (E171) – Topping M&M's choco
Toxicity : Although this additive is commonly used in food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, the non-hazardousness of titanium dioxide is increasingly debated. The product is classified as a carcinogen (group 2B) by the International Cancer Research Center (CIRC) and genotoxic effects have been demonstrated. The possible manufacture of titanium dioxide in the form of nanoparticles complicates its processing by the body, with the risk of accumulation. The final product contains hazardous residues: aluminum oxide and/or silicon dioxide (≤ 2%), HCl soluble materials (≤ 0.5% / 1.5%), water soluble materials (≤ 0.5%), traces of heavy metals, lead, cadmium antimony, arsenic and mercury.
Ester glycerol, diacetyltartric acid, fatty acids (E472e) Big Mac Bread, Big Tasty, Big Tasty Bacon, Cheeseburger, Double Cheeseburger, Cheeseburger Royal, Bacon & Egg McMuffin.Toxicity : Chemicals that affect digestion and the action of digestive juices . Studies of the elements of the glyceride family conducted on animals have shown a growth arrest, increase in the volume of the liver and kidneys, poor assimilation of essential fatty acids, reduction in the size of the testicles, problems with the uterus.
Brilliant blue (E133) – M&M's choco topping
Like most dyes, E133 is suspected of causing hyperactivity in children. Toxicity : The absence of carcinogenic and genotoxic hazards of the substance is not proven. Some tests on mice have allowed us to observe the appearance of localized sarcomas. May cause or amplify urticaria, asthma, skin and respiratory symptoms, exceptionally anaphylaxis. It has a neurotoxic potential, can block mitocodrial respiration, cause gastrointestinal symptoms. The pure substance is classified Xn (harmful) and R33 (risk of cumulative effects).
BELOW, INSTEAD, A LIST KNOWN BY NOW FOR SOME YEARS:
E414: gum arabic. It is found in McDonald's sauces and donuts: it can cause rhinitis and asthma.E330/E331: citric acid and trisodium citrate. Found in McDonald's cheese, salads, chicken tenders, nuggets, toppings and syrups, they can cause skin blemishes and kidney problems. E450/E452: polyphosphates. They are found in McDonald's cheese, nuggets, milkshakes and donuts: dangerous, they make the product soft and juicy, giving it a greasy appearance. They cause digestive problems and intestinal obstructions. They subtract calcium from the body and promote rickets. To be avoided for children (but why not adults too…). E322: lecithin. It is found in cheese, syrups and McDonald's donuts: high concentrations can affect intestinal absorption. E211: sodium benzoate. Found in McDonald's pickles: dangerous, causes allergies and is carcinogenic. E338: orthophosphoric acid. Found in McDonald's chocolate syrup: dangerous, causes digestive problems. Removes calcium from the body and eases rickets. E339/E341: sodium phosphate and calcium phosphate. They are found in McDonald's sauces, nuggets and pancakes: dangerous, they cause digestive problems, same effects as E338. E422: glycerol. Found in McDonald's sauces: dangerous, causes headaches, thirst, nausea and high blood pressure. E1422: modified corn starch. It is found in McDonald's sauces and garnishes. E307: tocopherol. It is found in McDonald's chicken: in large quantities it causes skin blemishes and kidney disorders. E220: sulfur dioxide. It is found in McDonald's chicken: dangerous, causes loss of calcium and destroys the vitamin. E407: carrageenans. They are found in chicken, cream cheese and McDonald's ice cream: in large doses it causes ulcerative colitis and cancer. E150: caramel. Found in McDonald's syrups, salads and donuts: coloring obtained by treating sugars with heat and chemicals such as sulfuric acid or ammonia.E620: monosodium glutamate. Found in hamburgers and McDonald's cheeses: dangerous, it lowers the excitability threshold of neurons and causes reactions in the parasympathetic nervous system. It is responsible for allergies and the typical headache and nausea that can occur after eating at McDonald's. in large doses it causes ulcerative colitis and cancer. E150: caramel.

As far as meat is concerned more specifically, we propose the now famous list of components of a McDonald's 80 g hamburger reported by the English activists who started the famous McLibel trial: 46 g. of minced beef, tongue, heart, fat, cartilage, tendons, intestines; 10g of meat mechanically recovered from the rest of the carcass and then minced; 20 g. of water; 2 gr. of salt and spices; 1 gr. of monosodium glutamate (E620); 5 gr. of polyphosphates, additives and preservatives.
