See which fast food companies are using cancer causing packaging laced with fluorine-based chemicals

‘Typically when we order fast food, we think we know what we’re getting into; overly processed food that has been chemically altered to taste good and become addictive, as well as containing high levels of sodium, fat, and cholesterol. If that wasn’t enough to keep people away, a recent study has found that the chemical makeup of the packaging on fast food items is just as harmful as what’s in fast food items.
The Silent Spring Institute discovered that one-third of fast food packaging tested contained fluoridated chemicals. These poly-fluorochemicals, or PFC’s, contain a synthetic coating which is used on fast food packages to keep grease from seeping out. PFC’s are also used to make water and stain repellent coatings like Teflon. These chemicals are linked to several health concerns including increased LDL cholesterol levels, fertility problems, kidney and testicular cancer, reduced hormone function, and thyroid disease. The chemicals also become built up in the bodies of people and animals worldwide. A CDC study found PFC’S in the blood of virtually all Americans.’
