INGREDIENTS

I am going to produce a graphic product that deals with the problem of ingredients in food, the ones that the advertising doesn't promote.

Burger King:

TENDERGRILL® CHICKEN BREAST FILET
Chicken Breast with Rib Meat, Water, Seasoning (Maltodextrin, Salt, Sugar, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Garlic Powder, Spices, Natural Flavors, Onion Powder, Modified Corn Starch, Chicken Fat, Chicken Powder, Chicken Broth, Disodium Guanylate and Disodium Inosinate, Citric Acid, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Dehydrated Garlic, and Artificial Flavors.), Modified Corn Starch, Soybean Oil, Salt, Sodium Phosphates. Glazed with: Water, Seasoning [Maltodextrin, Salt, Sugar, Methylcellulose, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Partially Hydrogenated Sunflower Oil, Modified Potato Starch, Fructose, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean Oil, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Dehydrated Garlic, Spices, Modified Corn Starch, Xanthan Gum, Natural Flavors, Disodium Guanylate and Disodium Inosinate, Chicken Fat, Carmel Color, Grill Flavor (from Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oil), Chicken Powder, Chicken Broth, Turmeric, Smoke Flavor, Annatto Extract, and Artificial Flavors], Soybean Oil.


Subway:


The bread also contains azodicarbonamide. From Wikipedia,

Use of azodicarbonamide as a food additive is banned in Australia. In the UK, the Health and Safety Executive has identified azodicarbonamide as a respiratory sensitiser (a possible cause of asthma) and determined that products should be labeled with May cause sensitisation by inhalation

Macdonalds Scrambled Eggs:



Their pasteurized whole eggs have sodium acid pyrophosphate, citric acid, and monosodium phosphate (all added to preserve color), and nisin, a preservative. To top it off, the eggs are prepared with liquid margarine: liquid soybean oil, water, partially hydrogenated cottonseed and soybean oils (trans fats), salt, hydrogenated cottonseed oil (trans fat), soy lecithin, mono- and diglycerides, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate (preservatives), artificial flavor, citric acid, vitamin A palmitate, and beta carotene (color).




DRINKS

IMPORTANCE OF WATER

. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often 

mistaken for hunger. 

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 
100% 
of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study! 

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue 

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could 

significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, 
trouble 
with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a 

printed page. 

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer 
by 
45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% 
less 
likely to develop bladder cancer. 


COKE


 In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of

Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in
two
days (meat will completely dissolve). 



2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must
use
the Hazardous Material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive
materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of
their
trucks for about 20 years
