16. Fast Food

It wouldn't be an unhealthy food list without fast food. We all know this stuff is terrible for us, but we just keep on eating it anyway! They make it taste so good, it's pretty much an addition. We don't need to tell you about all of the ingredients in fast food that will make you sick. But we will mention one thing you might not have heard of and that's phthalates.

Phthalates are toxins that are very harmful to the human endocrine system. They're not an actual ingredient in your food, but they are found on plastic wrappers and packaging, similar to BPA. They can cause inflammation and have been linked to metabolic syndrome and obesity. To kill your chances of consuming too many phthalates, just reduce your intake of fast food. It's the only way!
