here's something interesting dominoes mcdonald's
and Wendy's food have a chemical from silly party
Anthony sent me this story from collective evolution we've heard about
pink slime on this program we've heard about mechanically separated chicken
we've talked about tuna scrape we've talked about meat glue
what else have we spoken about Louis I am
artsy I Bieber Bieber but glance that's right area
yet cast story in which is a beaver anal gland that in me and there's gotta be
others to
I am sure there are others yeah there's been so many so today I'm talking to you
about the chemical
poly dine at also lock sane which has been staring up discussion
due to its appearance in some fast food menu items
it belongs to a group of compounds commonly referred to as silicones
an application at the chemical range edit supplied
to contact lenses cat medical devices Champoux
conditioner it makes hair shiny and slippery caulking
which is not the type thing you wanna be eating heat-resistant tiles polishes
cosmetics
and silly putty something that
actually may be non-toxic because like a little kid actually do try to eat it
but is probably not particularly nutritious or healthy
the FDA does approve this chemical as non-toxic even though it is non
biodegradable
and its commercial use in breast implants has been decreased due to quote
safety concerns it is under Section 170 6.2 100 considered
AD foaming agent and unacceptable
additive to food so here's how it's used in fast food that I mention
Domino's Pizza lists this in their breadsticks
their cheese bread as well as in there
garlic butter oil sounds delicious and it's commonly used on most to their
pizzas mcdonald's lists
polydimethylsiloxane as an additive to their cooking oils
meaning that those in them is making nuggets and french fries are saturated
in the chemical
Wendy's uses it in their cooking oils the FDA says that it is
generally recognized as safe in food
that term generally is kinda like the term natural
it can mean a lot it can mean a little and it can mean nothing at all
I yeah %uh there's a lot of big terminology when it comes to you
FTA rulings on things they've got they've mastered it
one of the things that a couple of people who commented on this story
told me as they're concerned that polydimethylsiloxane to grades to
formaldehyde
under high temperatures and if it's in cooking oil that you could be
literally eating formaldehyde not to defend the use of this product
I think nobody should be eating this stuff formaldehyde does actually occur
naturally in the body in small amounts so
the fact that it could degrade to formaldehyde
alone is not a reason specifically to say we shouldn't be having this
but the back I don't really want to be eating something that's in my shampoo
or instill apart silly party that's just the that's just my personal preference
regardless if the safety tolerance affirm aldehyde in the body
right and also regardless of what the FDA
says about it because they are completely morally bankrupt
if you ask me well that's the the concern a lot of people have which is
the FDA says it is generally safe we've seen the FDA allows so much
concerning behavior from big pharmaceutical companies big
food fast food et cetera do we really trust the FDA I at this point consider
the FDA
a kind of superficial guided
to starting an evaluation of whether something is healthy or not
for humans but it is by no means the be all end all when it comes to figuring
out what is and isn't safe to eat
particularly when we have terms like it is generally safe
in this small amounts for example well what exactly does that mean where is the
line and what is a small amount
and what does it mean to be generally safe it'll kill you
after 50 years or it'll kill you after five years
what is generally safe mean I i just think that we really
can't learned that much from the FDA at this point but hopefully
when you see the FDA comment on something you going do your own research
I don't know I mean it's tough you people are busy
I certainly don't research every single thing that I E
sometimes you're at a restaurant and you don't really know is this
antibiotic least chicken or is it sometimes you're buying a product that
says natural
and you don't really know what that actually means and people are busy I
mean it's understandable
its heart yeah it's hard but yet I know that if there were a specific ingredient
that I wanted to know about
I B FDA would not be my source
more information on that no and no one actually I research lately
is when you buy he called products in grocery stores
sometimes they come like in a glass container sometimes it might be in one
little plastic ones that's been
package by the store a lot of pickled products and I apologize and I just I
have this
a lot a pickle products like if you buy I those spicy pepper cheese for example
they'll have a product in there it's I don't remember if it's a benzo a torso
one of these things
and I started noticing that some products had it and some didn't so I
researched it the FDA considers it
generally safe in small amounts or something like that
but when you research it really doesn't seem like the type a thing you should be
eating so now I'm aware that anytime i buy
those it whether it's pickles or peppers or olives or whatever
I look to see if it has these benzo wait and if it does I don't buy it that's
II its you you literally have to be at that level if you wanna be paying
attention to this
right it certainly doesn't hurt her to read the ingredients on what your
buying or looking at image do a quick internet search and I mean the
information is available
it certainly is take a look at our patron campaign to support the work we
