Bryan Johnson explains why he's quit McDonald's fries for good. Seed oils heated to high temperatures create cancer-causing compounds called ales that damage DNA and proteins. The FDA allows trans fats below 0.5g to be labeled as zero, so you might be eating them without knowing.
Cut. Cool. Camera's off. Yeah. We're up. Oh, man, I'm dying to have a bite. This, friends, is why I would never ever eat McDonald's. These are fried in a number of seed oils. There is a lot of controversy about seed oils. But what is not controversial is when they're heated up to high temperatures, they form ales, which are cancer causing toxins. They damage proteins, cell membranes and DNA, which can lead to various diseases. But wait, the website says with 0 gram of trans fat per per labeled serving, that has to be good, right? Not so fast. It means the FDA says it can be less than 0.5 grams of trans fats and list zero on your label, so you might be consuming more than you realize. These fries also have ages, which are toxins that form when the starch is exposed to high temperatures. These compounds contribute to oxidative stress and inflammation throughout the body, which has been linked to insulin resistance, vascular damage and excess accelerated aging. McDonald's sells, wait for it, over 3 billion pounds of fries. They use science to make these things addictive. It is honestly nefarious. I cannot believe a company in this world does this. I used to eat these. I know what it's like. I understand the appeal. This food is beneath you. Respect yourself and don't do it anymore.
