Researchers at George Washington University have linked fast-food consumption to the presence of potentially harmful chemicals, a connection they argue could have "great public health significance."
>Specifically, the team found that people who eat fast food tend to have significantly higher levels of certain phthalates, which are commonly used in consumer products such as soap and makeup to make them less brittle but have been linked to a number of adverse health outcomes, including higher rates of infertility, especially among males.
>higher rates of infertility, especially among males.
>"We're not trying to create paranoia or anxiety, but I do think our findings are alarming," said one of the study's authors, Ami Zota, an assistant professor of environmental and occupational health at George Washington University. "It's not every day that you conduct a study where the results are this strong."
>"We looked at it in so many different ways, and the effect still remains," said Zota.
The evil shill that is science is at it again.

Anti-fast food shilling scientists? Truly they are the biggest threat to human survival that presently exists.

Since no one on 4chan will ever procreate this thread is kinda irrelevant.
It's pretty fucking obvious that whoever is behind fast food has an agenda to make addictive cholesterol bombs that turn hordes of people into docile tubs of lard.

I know I should spread my aryan genes and produce white children and all that, but the mating """scene""" is shit right now and infested with faggot apologists and I'm afraid I'll let slip that I cant stand PC culture and be deemed un mate-able
Maybe in 10 or 20 years.
>>71133008
Wasn't planning on having kids anyway
>>71133243
Sounds easy enough to avoid.
>The more machinery, plastic, conveyor belts, and various forms of processing equipment that food touches, the more likely the food is to contain higher levels of phthalates.
Don't buy your burgers at a fast food place and get the meat from a real butcher so you can have it wrapped in paper after purchase instead of entombed in plastic.

If you're young, move to Idaho and find a wife there. But you have to do it quickly. Once they hit about 24, the outside world has tainted them too much and they become similar to women in big cities.

I don't eat as much fast food as I used too, not on the road as often. I don't think anybody believes it's good for you, but it's not as bad as people make it out to be.
>>71133882
You realise that infertility is more than a demographic term, right?
Which fast food restaurants were studied????
>>71133008
Not like we need anymore kids
There's an undergraduate research group at my university that is looking for pthalates in different food products. Kind of worrying, I guess.
Thanks for reading.

The stuff is not even entombed in plastic here, only paper. I could try getting giant burgers filled with bacon and fried onions and cheddar in a food truck near my home though.
Actually, that's what I'll be doing for my next trash days. Thank you burger, you are truly our greatest friend on this continent.

>Using 24-hour dietary recall data, we quantified: 1) fast food intake (percent of total energy intake (TEI) from fast food); 2) fast food-derived fat intake (percent of TEI from fat in fast food); and 3) fast food intake by food group (dairy, eggs, grains, meat, and other).

Not that I am advocating for fast food but there is no fertility problem. There is a women in the work place and contraception problem. Men and women are still very fertile.
