Cheeseburgers and chicken burritos had especially high levels of phthalates and similar substances.
The study authors found several different phthalates, as well as other chemicals meant to replace phthalates, across a variety of fast food takeout items, including fries, burritos, and cheeseburgers.
Phthalates are a widely used type of plasticizer, used to give plastic and other substances flexibility.
They’re also a type of endocrine-disrupting chemical (EDC), which mimic or otherwise interfere with the hormones we naturally produce, like testosterone and estrogen.

fast foods may be a particularly rich source of exposure.
those who reported eating at fast food restaurants recently were more likely to have higher phthalate levels than those who ate at home more often.
81% of food items contained the phthalate di-n-butyl phthalate (DnBP),
while 70% also contained di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),
which have both been implicated as possible contributors (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/01/plastic-additive-linked-to-excessive-reproductive-abnormalities/) to fertility problems.
About 89% of foods contained some di(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate (DEHT), a non-phthalate plasticizer.
Meat items ... had the highest levels of any of these chemicals.

The oligarchy is poisoning is for profit, fucking with hormones.
Men with soft dicks, men with lowering sperm counts, lost of fertility.
America is fucked and unfuckable.
And Congress will be bribed to do shit about it.
