Hi Everyone
I always tough that basic bun has 4 main ingredients (flour, water, yeast,sugar) well guess my surprise when i found out that in the Big Mac Bun they are up to 36 !!! In order to make one its not enough to be a cook , baker or a chef you also have to be chemist.
First lets look at this yummy Big Mac
Delicious, this is how you can make one on your own , you just need :
Ingredients: Enriched Flour (Bleached Wheat Flour, Malted Barley Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Water, High Fructose
Corn Syrup and/or Sugar, Yeast, Soybean Oil and/or Canola Oil, Contains 2% or Less: Salt, Wheat Gluten, Calcium Sulfate, Calcium Carbonate, Ammonium Sulfate,
Ammonium Chloride, Dough Conditioners (May Contain One or More of: Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, DATEM, Ascorbic Acid, Azodicarbonamide, Mono and
Diglycerides, Ethoxylated Monoglycerides, Monocalcium Phosphate, Enzymes, Guar Gum, Calcium Peroxide), Sorbic Acid (Preservative), Calcium Propionate and/or
Sodium Propionate (Preservatives), Soy Lecithin, Sesame Seed.
Personally i never heard most of them, so what am i actually eating ?
Azodicarbonamide – Scientists in the U.K. believe that causes asthma
Reduced Iron is a potentially toxic heavy metal. In excess, it can cause cancer, heart disease, and other illnesses.
folic acid is associated with several health problems. It can mask vitamin B12 deficiency, enhance the development and progression of certain cancers, and depress immune function.
high-fructose corn syrup — can contribute unwanted calories that are linked to health problems, such as weight gain, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and high triglyceride levels. All of these boost your risk of heart disease.
Canola Oil caused many kidney, liver and neurological health issues
Calcium sulfate: E516 - Mineral salt occurs naturally in the form of gypsum
calcium carbonate - may contain toxic metals, such as lead
Ammonium sulfate is potentially dangerous to both people and the environment. It can cause severe irritation and inflammation of the respiratory tract if inhaled.
Ammonium Chloride High amounts can cause nausea, headaches, and vomiting. Concentrated solutions can be irritating to skin.
soy lecithin is made from genetically modified (GMO) soy
Ethoxylated Monoglycerides & Mono and Diglyceride affect your cholesterol and increase the risks of strokes, diabetes and heart troubles (see trans fats)
DATEM can result in adrenal overgrowth as well as fibrosis of the heart muscle
Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate One of the possible side effects is food intolerance
Enriched white flour is not absorbed into the body like whole grains. When you eat refined flour, your digestive system quickly and easily breaks down and absorbs it like pure sugar. This causes your blood sugar to spike, which activates insulin, a hormone that herds all those free sugar molecules into cells, causing your blood sugar to drop.
A drop in blood sugar is actually the best case scenario. Over time, these cycles can lead to weight gain and insulin resistance. During this time, you still produce insulin, but it’s no longer able to send sugar into your cells. You’re left with dangerously high blood sugar, which leads to blood vessel damage, increased oxidative stress, and depleted antioxidant activity, while contributing to high blood pressure.
The rest is safe to eat in small amounts ONLY!
And this is just the bun!
Enjoy your Big Mac!
