An analysis of people who ate fast food over the previous 24 hours found that they had elevated levels of #phthalates, a chemical used to make plastics more pliable, reported Bloomberg.
The study by researchers at the George Washington University looked at federal nutrition survey data 2003 to 2010 from more than 9,000 people, who provided urine samples and a log of what they ate over a 24 hour period. The urine samples were analyzed for byproducts and two distinct industrial chemicals were linked with higher fast-food consumption: DEHP and DiNP, two types of phthalates.
