ALBAWABA - "Boycott McDonald's not for Gaza but for your health," social media users wrote on social media after a video went viral saying that McDonald's French fries have 18 Ingredients.
A video was uploaded on X (formerly Twitter) of an activist explaining why people should stop immediately eating McDonald's fires.
In the clip, a man enters a drive-through of the famous American fast food chain and orders "World Famous Fries," as called by McDonald's.
At the beginning of the video, the activist said: "Here's another reason you should boycott McDonald's." "So the most popular item at McDonald's worldwide is the World Famous French Fries."
The man in the clip was saying that the video is about to prove and see what is inside the fires he ordered. He added after ordering it: "You would think it contains potatoes, oil and salt, right? Wrong, there are actually 18 Ingredients in these fries alone."
He maintained that the french fries contain four different types of seed oils which are linked to heart disease, diabetes, dementia and multiple other health illnesses.
The man also said that the fries also have "Sodium Acid Pyrophosphate" to maintain the color of the fries, this item is also linked to "kidney damage and calcium deposits" that block arteries.
A boycott campaign was launched since last October against McDonald's and multiple other food chains and brands which are either directly or indirectly linked to Israel, following the Israeli aggression on Gaza after Oct. 7.
