If you enjoy the Impossible Burger, then you might be alarmed at this news. The Impossible Foods plant-based burger claims to be without hormones, antibiotics, and artificial ingredients. Unfortunately, this isn’t quite true because the burger has been discovered to contain GMO ingredients along with an excitotoxin MSG. An unfortunate reminder to always look at the product and review the ingredients. Read this article provides further details of this burger and why it might not be as healthy a meal as originally thought.
Key Takeaways:
- The Impossible Burger contains GMO soy, which among other health issues can cause cancer and thyroid problems.
- Soy protein is usually processed using hexane, whic is a toxic solvent used for extraction. Hexane is also considered an air pollutant.
- The yeast extract really is MSG, which is an excitotoxin and as such overstimulates the nervous system causing ill effects.
“The only “impossible” thing about the Impossible Burger is that it’s impossible to consider this burger “healthy” and “all-natural.””
