What's in the McDonald's Big Mac? I'm actually gonna show you what's in the Big Mac. What's in their french fries? What's in the chicken nuggets? What's in a McRib? Which is now back? And the secret ingredient in their salt. You guys aren't gonna believe this. Come on.

How's it going?

Can I get a Big Mac? 6 piece chicken nuggets, small

with that?

Oh, yeah. The ranch Mhmm. And the sweet and sour, a McRib, and a small fries.

Do you like any ketchup on the side with that?

Yeah. You guys make the burgers. Do you cook the burgers in any oil or is it just straight on the grill?

I'm not really sure because I'm I don't really cook at all.

Can we ask them? Mhmm. No oil. Just the patties go straight on the grill? Just put

the patty straight on the grill and then it cooks like that. Okay. But there's obviously oil accumulated just from the meat. Okay. Cool. Thank you. Yep. There you go.

That's a little tidbit for you guys. If you're in a pinch, the quarter pound beef patties at McDonald's are a 100% beef. Maybe not the best beef in the world, but they don't use seed oils on the grill here. Let's go sit down and we'll see what comes out with the rest of this food. This is quite a spread of, diabetes, obesity, chronic disease, and unhappiness, but I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna start with the chicken nuggets here. Trust me, I get it. I used to eat chicken nuggets as a kid.

So these are chicken meat with bleached wheat flour added. The problem with bleached wheat flour is some of the chemicals they use to bleach the wheat flour can be harmful for humans like chlorine dioxide. There's obviously a breading, which is a wheat based breading, and that is cooked in 4 different types of seed oils. Corn, canola, soybean, and hydrogenated soybean oil to make these chicken nuggets. Hydrogenated soybean oil, that's like a trans fat. You know that's gonna be a problematic thing because of how it's processed, extra heated. But the fact that there are 4 seed oils in chicken nuggets means that you're gonna be getting tons of this fat. Linoleic acid, which I'm not a fan of.

Why do I not like linoleic acid? High level, not to get too technical, linoleic acid accumulates in your body. It accumulates in all the cell membranes, your mitochondrial membranes, and messes up the way you make energy in your mitochondria by causing proton leak across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The seed oils also can break down into harmful compounds called the Hodes and the HEETS. These are called oxlams or oxylipins, etcetera. Alright. I got a little technical. That was maybe a little more technical than high level. Basically, seed oils are something that humans never would have been exposed to before a 100 years ago.

They were used as machine lubricants, and now they're a huge part of our food supply. They're in basically everything on this table. And in contrast, animal fats like tallow and butter were all we ate for 1000 and 1000 of years of humans. Is it any wonder that before the early 1900, things like cancer and autoimmune disease were much more rare, cardiovascular disease, heart attacks were almost unheard of, and since then these have increased massively. Obviously, there are many things that have caused these health conditions to skyrocket in the last 100 to 115 years, but I think seed oils are a major contributor to this. Not a huge fan of chicken nuggets, but I think that a lot of kids out there have eaten a lot of these oils, and that's contributing to childhood obesity, childhood diabetes, behavioral problems. There's nothing good about chicken nuggets at McDonald's. We've also got the, dipping sauces for the chicken nuggets.

You've got the sweet and sour sauce, first ingredient, high fructose corn syrup, ranch dressing. 1st ingredient is not any sort of dairy, it's say it with me, soybean oil. So problematic seed oils and high fructose corn syrup, the highly processed, essentially weaponized form of sugar in sweet and sour sauce with your chicken McNugget dipping sauces. Major problems. Next up, McDonald's french fries. Guess how many ingredients are in McDonald's french fries? They should be potatoes, tallow, and salt. McDonald's used to cook in tallow, but then an eccentric millionaire in the 19 nineties convinced them that tallow was somehow contributing to heart disease. Sokolov shouts, that's not true.

Your fries are cooked in animal fat. The McDonald's guy gets flustered, tries to say something. Sokolov doesn't let him finish.

It's beef tall. Vegetable and they are 90 to 95% beef tall. It's vegetable and that comes mere company.

When in fact, the seed oils that they replace the tallow with are the actual contributors to heart disease. Regardless, it is a tragedy that McDonald's no longer cooks their fries in tallow. These fries have 19 ingredients. 19 ingredients in these fries. They are cooked in 4 different types of seed oils, corn, soybean, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, which is gonna have a lot of trans fats, and canola oil. What else is in here? Dimethyl polysiloxane. It's a huge word. It's an anti foaming agent used in the oils and the fryers.
