Besides
their incredible popularity, hot dogs are very harmful and can cause serious
diseases. The fast food delight has been introduced in the USA by German
immigrants in the 19th century, and has quickly became a
favorite with over 7 billion hot dogs consumed in the country every summer!
However,
hot dogs can have a detrimental effect on your health. They are highly
processed and possess almost no nutritional value, which makes them highly
dangerous. They consists of chicken, beef and pork leftovers, plus a lot of
additives such as nitrites, salt, corn syrup and MSG. The amount of additives
depends on the area for which hot dogs are produced – different countries have
different tastes. The most controversial additive in hot dogs, however, is
monosodium glutamate and carmine, which are made from shells of beetles that
are boiled in sodium bicarbonate!
Consumers
are not aware of what the sausages contain as the USDA doesn’t require the
producers to write the additives on the label.
A recent Hawaiian research suggests
that all processed meats increase the risk of cancer by 67%, and in addition to
this, nitrates and nitrites are the most dangerous compounds in hot dogs. When
exposed to high temperature, they turn to nitrosamines which have been known to
cause cancer. Even more shocking, only a single hot dog can increase the risk
of cancer by 21%, which is why you need to avoid eating them.
