[ALERT] ‘Grab-and-Go’ Foods Laced with TOXINS!
We all have busy and hectic lives.
And sometimes, that means you need to grab a meal that is fast and convenient.
And while there’s nothing wrong with grabbing the occasional fast-food meal when you’re pressed for time…
Making a habit of eating fast food can wreak havoc on your body and overall health.
But if you still find yourself drawn to eating fast food, there’s are new findings about these meals that are going to make you want to run for the hills!
Here’s what you need to know.
According to a new study published in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, chemicals known as phthalates have been detected in foods from popular fast-food chains like McDonald’s, Chipotle, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and more.
What exactly are phthalates?
In a nutshell, they are industrial chemicals used to make plastics more durable.

This Food Could Be Growing Deadly Tumors
I don’t know about you, but that doesn’t sound very appetizing!
They found that over 80% of the foods contained a phthalate called DnBP, and 70% contained the phthalate DEHP – both of which have been linked to health problems like obesity, breast cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
It’s important to note that the detected levels of phthalates in the study are below the Environmental Protection Agency’s health protective threshold… but that any kind of chemicals found in foods you eat are concerning.
So, what can you do to avoid ingesting phthalates?
The best thing you can do is to try and limit the amount of fast food you eat. As I said before, there’s nothing wrong with having them occasionally. But staying away from them on a consistent basis will limit your exposure to phthalates.
If you’re still in need of eating convenient, ‘quick’, meals, there are healthy options out there.
Online, food delivery services like HelloFresh or ButcherBox offer convenient (and organically sourced) meal kits that are made with only natural ingredients… and require very little prep work.
