Michael Stuart Kelly Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Top 10 Most Common Ingredients in Fast Foodby William Harris How Stuff WorksFrom the article:Order a meal in any fast-food restaurant, and you'll likely walk away with a sandwich, fries and a drink. If you had to identify the ingredients of this meal, you might list beef (or chicken), lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup, bread, potatoes and soda. Not complicated, right? Wrong.I suggest reading the article, but here is the list gleaned from the articles headings:10. Citric Acid: The Most Common Preservative9. High-fructose Corn Syrup: The Most Common Sweetener8. Caramel Color: The Most Common Color Additive7. Salt: The Most Common Flavor or Spice6. Monosodium Glutamate: The Most Common Flavor Enhancer5. Niacin: The Most Common Nutrient4. Soybean Oil: The Most Common Oil or Fat3. Mono- and Diglycerides: The Most Common Emulsifiers2. Xanthan Gum: The Most Common Stabilizer or Thickener 1. Chicken: The Most Common Meat ProductThe urge to make a quip is strong, but so is that queasy feeling that suddenly came on.Better to stick to good food.Fast food = fast body pollution.(If only it didn't taste so good...)Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
