BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
3 juicy burger can be an enticing treat for a :uick lunch or casual dinner, and you can find a fast$food burger on what seems like every street corner. 5espite their deliciousness, however, burgers can contribute to weight gain and have other harmful effects on your health. The healthiest approach is to save burgers for occasional treats and instead select more nutritious alternatives. 'hat you may not reali-e is that when chowing down on that beef patty, you could be ingesting much more than what’s listed on the menu. Here are ) things to be aware of when ordering a burger > and the reasons you?re better off making your burger at home. 1. Ammonia: ink slime > a mechanically separated meat product that is treated with
ammonia to kill bacteria > is used as a low$cost ground beef filler. Though a handful of fast food establishments ditched the ingredient after recent controversy, it’s still lurking in many ground meat products, including those used by restaurants. 2. Fat: Trans$fat is known to raise cholesterol levels and has been linked to heart
disease; however, the 57H currently allows a food to be labeled trans$fat free if it has less than half a gram. 'hile most fast food chains get under this .+ limit, their burgers still contain the unhealthy fat and restaurant varieties can have up to 8.+ grams. lus, some food chains pack almost + grams of fat into each burger. That’s well over the healthy range, which is between )@ to =) grams per day, depending on your calorie intake.
. Ca!o"i#$: Burgers from popular food chains like Burger Aing and c5onald’s have
upwards of ), calories, more than half a days’ worth for many people, in just one meal. %. A&&iti'#$: #ood establishments and manufacturers use a variety of additives &like
sodium phosphate and nitrates( to serve various purposes like preserving and te0turi-ing the meat. 'hile most are deemed safe for consumption by the 57H, they’re still highly processed and have even been linked to side effects in some people. (. H)n&"#&$ o* +o,$: 3 single fast food hamburger can contain beef from hundreds
of different cattle as ground meat from all of a chain’s suppliers is often combined into a single batch of minced meat. This increases the risk of contamination, since infected meat from just one cow can show up in tons of batches. -. Mo"# tan /)$t m#at: any consumers assume that their patty came straight from
the muscle of a cow, but in actuality, the ground beef used to make many fast food burgers contains other waste and by$products. 7ne study went as far as to say that fast food burgers aren’t made up of much !meat" at all and instead consist of almost + percent water in addition to by$products like bone, cartilage, connective tissue, and nerve tissue. 0. So&i)m: 3 burger at your local fast food joint contains almost + milligrams of
sodium, while the patty at dine$in food chains could pack in between = and C milligrams well over the 57H’s recommendation of ),+ milligrams per day, and even surpassing the upper limit recommendation of no more than 8,= milligrams daily.
. T# )n: 'hen it comes to the bread sandwiching your burger, enriched flour
&which is devoid of nutrients( is the least of your problems. any types of bread contain over 8 ingredients, and included in the list is ammonium sulfate &also used in fertili-ers(, ammonium chloride &found in e0plosives(, high fructose corn syrup, anda-odicarbonamide &an ingredient also used to make yoga mats(. 3. To44in5$: #or many, a burger isn’t complete without loading on the toppings. But
the ones commonly ordered at restaurants are loaded with sugar, fat, and calories. The most popular condiment, ketchup, is filled with high fructose corn syrup, while a single slice of cheese can add up to 8 calories and + milligrams of sodium ¬ to mention, it’s highly processed with preservatives and artificial colors and flavors(. 16. Po"tion $i7#: The recommended serving si-e for meat is C ounces, or the si-e of a
deck of cards. However, the typical serving si-e at restaurants is more than double that, weighing in between @ and )8 ounces.
