You Were Unaware We need food and water to survive. However, the food industry has been changing our consumption to make them seem more appealing, taste better, and last longer. In this video, we reveal the startling facts about the food and beverages you probably consume daily. Although all of the foods and drinks mentioned here are thought to be safe to finish, the following facts might make you think twice before you eat them:
One: Burgers The typical cheeseburger is made with about 100 cows’ worth of meat. Imagine using parts from 100 dairy animals to create one hamburger. In any case, pause… It has improved in some ways! Cows used in large-scale manufacturing are frequently brought knee-deep in their waste. They are murdered so quickly that cleaning them often isn’t possible. The finished item? In your cheeseburger is cow pie. Yum!
Two: Processed cheese A big slice of cheddar is the best addition to a burger. Is that correct? The problem is that cheddar isn’t prepared cheddar. Hell, occasionally, it hardly even contains cheddar! Research has shown that most processed cheddar ingredients are synthetic chemicals, additional ingredients, and fat, leaving the last cut with an uneven interior and only half of what it claims to be.
3 – Candy Yum, yum. Mmm. Who doesn’t like sweets? M&M and jelly beans are delicious candies, but I bet you didn’t know that their shiny coating is made with bug faeces. Have You? Confectioner’s coating, often known as shellac, is made using tar secreted by female lac tiny crawlies. The sap is handled in chunks, then transformed into liquid shellac and applied to food items. This substance is also used to create furniture and hardwood floor polish.
Four: Packaged foods Yes, packaged foodstuffs. What a blessing. Particularly if, like me, you detest cooking! I know they’re loaded with chemicals and other excrement, so I’d better trust it. If everyone is eating it, it obviously can’t be THAT bad, right? According to the FDA, it is acceptable for things like parasites, rat hair, organic product flies, and parasites to be present in our food. In any event, don’t worry; they handle the money. The standards outline how many microbiological or unnecessary problems can exist before they are considered sanitation issues. How tempting.
5 – Snacks with a fruit flavour Your favourite organic product-seasoned snacks are created with carnauba wax, a similar ingredient to that used to keep cars clean, even though you may not have known this. The resin, made from carnauba palm tree leaves, is used to give many items you put in your mouth, such as sauces, sweets, chewing gum, and dressings, an attractive sheen. Additionally, carnauba wax is used for floors, surfboards, dental floss, and shoes. Does anyone for some gummy bears?
6 – Bread L-Cysteine is used in many commercial bread recipes to soften the batter and extend the bread’s useful life. Did you know that duck feathers and human hair are used in the production of L-Cysteine? The majority of the hair comes from salons and hairstyling facilities. Additionally, people utilize duck quills, chicken plumes, and even dairy animal horns to free the conditioning operator when human hair is unavailable or prohibitively expensive. Therefore, you had best believe that your bread is a little nasty.
Seven: Salmon You might be aware of the debate between fish bred on a ranch and wild salmon. Given the current state of affairs, it is by no means the only concern regarding this particular species! How salmon is mislabeled is ridiculous! Around 30% in Europe and 40% in the US. This suggests that the fish you’re eating is comparable, less expensive, and just pink-tinted to “resemble” salmon. Gee… Really FUCKED UP that.
(8) Gelatin You must like sweets like Jelly-O, marshmallows, and hardened cakes… Right? All things considered, gelatin is used throughout. Amazing. Did you know that collagen is taken out of the skin, bones, and connective tissues of animals, including cows, pigs, horses, chickens, and fish, to make gelatin?
No. 9: Vanilla Flavor Castoreum is a vanilla enhancer in numerous delicious desserts and hot products. In addition, if you needed to learn something… The discharges of the beaver’s butt-centric organs are used to make castoreum. Yes, you read that correctly. Even more astonishing is the sporadic omission of castoreum from the fixings list in favour of merely mentioning it as “common boosting” by producers. Enjoy!
Ten) Decaf coffee Or, is it…? The majority of decaffeinated espresso still includes small amounts of caffeine. For instance, a decaf latte may contain the same amount of caffeine as a can of coke.
11 – Nectar and honeybee upchuck are used to make honey. Honey bees collect nectar from blossoms and store it in their stomachs. The love that has been stored combines with other substances, changing both its PH and substance creation. When honeybees return to the hive, they pass the collected nectar by ejecting the liquid. At that point, the vanishing process removes the water and transforms it into nectar. Nectar never goes terrible is another fascinating fact about it; apparently, in the last 3000 years, it has!
12. Fountain beverages Ever notice how thirsty you feel even after downing a drive-through restaurant’s standard-sized estimated fizzy drink? There is a reason behind that, in fact. High fructose corn syrup, a specially prepared substance used as a sugar substitute, is often added to cheap food chains’ bubbly drinks to give them their sweet flavour. This substance allows the sweet taste to move on your tongue while continuously tearing at the lacquer on your teeth, extending your stomach lining, and attacking your vital organs. Sweet.
13 – Nuggets of fast food For some people, golden, crispy chicken strips are the best treatment. However, the process of creating them is rather unique. Studies have shown that there is little chicken at all in waste bits. Instead, they primarily comprise lipids, bone, nerves, and tissue.
— Raw meat When you buy meat at the store, you may have the impression that based on its colour, you can determine how fresh the heart is. The unfortunate reality is that it was coated in carbon monoxide to make it “appear new” and maintain its colour. The fact that I avoid meat is a plus!
15 – Dogs Hot dogs may be one of the most famous road food options, but they are little more than an unsettling mixture of leftover meat, fats, and carbohydrates. Additionally, they combine it with a substance often known as grain filler, a variety of flour and bread crumbs. It sounds absolutely horrible, am I right? Whatever the case, that is not all. They add phoney flavours and deadly hues when they get a combination made.
Orange Juice (16) Ah, the legendary O-Jay “Only crisply crushed oranges” should be used instead. Right? They want you to accept it, so do it! They are by no means naturally pressed, in any case. In fact, squeezed orange is stored in a tank for a year or a similar amount of time. The first step in creating juice is to take the oxygen out of it so it can be stored as needed. Additionally, because of this process, it loses its distinctive flavour and is then added with synthetic flavour. How uplifting!
Packaged salads (17) Do you continue to buy lunchtime bundles of mixed greens? You could not be making the best choice as mixed-green platters are doused with propylene glycol, also present in radiator fluid! This mixture keeps your lettuce crisp and your vegetables heavily shaded.
Water in bottles You might feel that filtered water is purer and better for your health than tap water, which has all its impurities. Have you given that any thought as to whether it’s actually true? Ordinary faucet water makes up about 40% of filtered water, which makes it all the more incredible that so little of it gets treated. It only comes directly from the faucet.
19 – Food Coloring, Red I’m almost positive that the main ingredient in this standard food colour might really “bug” you. You might consume bugs if you enjoy drinking cranberry juice or eating strawberry-flavoured yoghurt. Whatever the case, try not to worry. This creepy crawlies don’t accidentally degrade your food! Food manufacturers include the red food colouring Carmine, derived from a beetle called the cochineal, on purpose.
20 – Almonds With peanuts, there’s not a lot. All things considered, excluding the problem with the fatal shape… Whatever the case, you might be surprised to learn that peanuts are fixed in explosives. Oil found in peanuts is used in the process of creating glycerol. One of the main ingredients in nitroglycerin, the main component of explosives, is glycerol.
