Junk fast food alone does its number on human body and health.
Did you know that food packaging contains Perfluoroalkyls? Never heard of them? Perfluoroalkyls (PFC) are a hazardous class of stable, synthetic chemicals that repel oil, grease and water. They are used in packaging to prevent grease from leaking through paper wrappers.
Take this, PFCs have a wide spectrum of usage, like in carpet and fabric protectors, non-stick kitchenware (mind those fancy pans and pots with non-stick layers!), stain-proof clothes, and much more.
When Perfluoroalkyls were approved for their wide use by regulators, they assumed (!) that PFCs:
1. Would not Migrate from paper into food
2. Would not Become bio available to the body, and
3. Would not Be harmful to the human body
They WERE WRONG!
Studies proved that PFCs wreak havoc on:
• Hormone System
• Immune System
• Fertility
• Cancer
• Increasing Bad, LDL, Cholesterol
And the above are just a few side-effects from PFCs.
One big lesson to learn and to watch for? Look what your food is being served in! Do it right for your body. Ultimately, for your Health.
