McDonald's food doesn't go bad...??

as some of you know, angela and i are on a diet program...
no pills, no other kind of supplement help...
totally juz using food...
wanna know more, gotta talk to u face to face...

anyway, what i wanted to say is...
we became more and more watchful with our food intake...
recently watch a youtube clip - french fries that last more that 2 weeks...
and we're so convinced that Mc.Donald's food was full of preservative...
since then we didn't go Mc.Donald anymore(almost more than 3months)...

then...
i came across an article about the issue...
long story.. i'll juz extract some of it...

This is not a fact, but an assertion by Morgan Spurlock, creator of the famous anti-fast-food film Super Size Me. There is of course no scientific proof of these assertions, nor is it clear what the implications are if it’s true. Nevertheless, it focuses attention on the issue of the levels of preservatives in food. Foods can be salted or pickled, and smoked, dried, frozen or canned to stop them going off, or they can be treated with chemical preservatives.

There are now 30 or so of these chemical preservatives that may be legally added to food. They work either against microbes, or against oxidation, or both. Benzoates are added to fruit juices, margarine, jams, pickles and many other foods to extend their shelf-life by stopping fungal growth. Sulphur dio xide and other sulphites are coated onto dried fruit and vegetables to stop them going brown and to stop bacteria growing. Propionates are added to bread to stop it going moldy.

There’s no doubt that preservatives have made food available and edible for longer. They can even be life-savers. Nitrates and nitrites are the food industry’s best defense against the botulin bacteria in meat, as well as helping to preserve the meat’s pink color. And in 2006, it was discovered that nitrite food preservatives might one day be used to help treat patients with the lung disease cystic fibrosis.

It has long been an urban myth that corpses today don’t decay as fast as they did in the past because of the amount of food preservatives that have built up in our bodies. After watching the decay of exhumed human remains buried over the last 30 years, Professor Rainer Horn of Kiel University in Germany has concluded that this is actually true. He believes that the combination of food preservatives and cosmetics is literally embalming us while we are still alive.

So.. what to do?
i think just give thanks and eat by faith la..
Live one day at a time for His grace is sufficient for us..
