Toxin Series "2": PHTHALATES Are In Fast Food Too!
A 2021 George Washington University study found toxic chemicals, including phthalates and plasticizers, in 81–86% of fast food items from major U.S. chains like McDonald’s and Taco Bell. These chemicals, linked to hormonal, reproductive, and behavioral issues, likely come from food handling gloves and packaging. Meaty items had the highest levels, while cheese pizza had the lowest.

🐞 Bugs in Your Food? Here’s What You’re Really Eating
Many everyday foods contain trace amounts of insect-derived ingredients or bug fragments. Additives like carmine (from crushed beetles) and shellac (from lac bugs) are used for coloring and glazing. Even honey, beeswax, and royal jelly come from insects. The FDA allows a certain level of insect fragments in food, as total removal is nearly impossible. On average, Americans unknowingly consume 1–2 pounds of bugs per year through common foods.

Fake Food Series: 🍺 The Curious Case of Bud Light NEXT: Zero Carbs, Zero Flavor? 🤔
Bud Light NEXT is the first zero-carb beer on the market—80 calories, 4% ABV, and keto-friendly. But don't expect much flavor. With a pale color and seltzer-like taste, it lacks the depth of real beer. Comfort Keto tested it (no affiliation) and gave it a thumbs down. If you're desperate for a keto "beer" at a party, maybe—just don’t pour it in a glass. 🍺🙈

Is Spinach A Potent Kidney Stone Producer?
Spinach may not be as healthy as you think. It's extremely high in oxalates—1,510 mg per cup cooked—which can contribute to kidney stones and conditions like vulvodynia in women. Oxalates bind with calcium, forming harmful crystals. To reduce risk, avoid high-oxalate greens like spinach and choose low-oxalate options like romaine, arugula, and cabbage instead. Talk to your doctor if you have symptoms or kidney stone history.
