Bryan Johnson breaks down the Crunchwrap Supreme's ingredients: 1,200 mg of sodium (half your daily limit), 2.6 mg of aluminum in the tortilla, and beef graded D by the NRDC for antibiotic use. He flags emulsifiers, oxidized oils, and aldehydes as additional health concerns.
I bet you didn't know that your Crunchwrap supreme has metal in it. Let's break it down. This is loaded with emulsifiers, oxidized oils and a ton of sodium. One Crunchwrap supreme has 1200 milligrams of sodium. That's half of what the American Heart association recommends for one day. As for the beef, Taco Bell scored a D from the NRDC for their use of antibiotics that's worse than McDonald's. These antibiotics can wreck your microbiome and even give rise to antibiotic resistance. But let's get back to the metal. You may think that the tortilla is the most innocent part, but it's actually loaded with aluminum. 2.6 milligrams to be precise. A long term study found that consuming just 0.1 milligrams of aluminum per day was linked to higher rates of Alzheimer's, cognitive decline and dementia. One Crunchwrap supreme exposes you to 26 times that amount. So just to recap, in one Crunchwrap supreme you've got aluminum, oxidized oils, aldehydes, excessive sodium and antibiotics all perfectly wrapped in a hexagon of in my opinion, death.
