  Teen girl rushed to hospital for eating nothing but chicken nuggets for 15 years

  (NaturalNews) If you ate only McDonald's chicken McNuggets every day for practically every meal, what do you think your health condition would be like in 15 years? One British girl, 17-year-old Stacey Irvine, recently found out the hard way that such a diet severely destroyed her health when she was rushed to the hospital after collapsing and having severe difficulty breathing.
  
  Yahoo! News reports that the young factory worker had been eating practically nothing else besides McDonald's chicken McNuggets since she was about two years old. Shockingly, Stacey has also never once eaten a single fruit or vegetable, according to the same report, which has left her grossly deficient in practically every single vitamin and mineral in existence.
  
  This horrific diet finally caught up with Stacey, however, when she fell over at work and had to be rushed to the emergency room. Doctors discovered severely-swelled veins on the young girl's tongue, and quickly diagnosed her with anemia. They subsequently put her on an "emergency vitamin regimen," according to reports, and warned her that if she does not change her dietary habits, she will soon die.
  
  But Stacey's addiction to fast food nuggets is so severe that she still apparently refuses to eat anything else besides them, except for the occasional piece of toast or potato chips. And Stacey's mom, Evonne, has apparently tried everything to get her daughter to eat other foods, including starving the girl at one point, but to no avail.
  
  "She's been told in no uncertain terms that she'll die if she carries on like this," Evonne is quoted as saying by CBS News. "But she says she can't eat anything else. I'm at my wit's end. I'm praying she can be helped before it's too late."
  
  McDonald's chicken McNuggets, of course, are made from a so-called food product called "mechanically separated chicken," which is created from chickens that have been "stripped down to the bone, and then 'ground up' into a chicken mash, then combined with a variety of stabilizers and preservatives, pressed into familiar shapes, breaded and deep fried, freeze dried, and then shipped to a McDonald's near you."

  McDonald's chicken McNuggets also contain dimethylpolysiloxane, an antifoaming agent composed of the same silicone chemicals used in cosmetic products (http://www.naturalnews.com/032820_Chicken_McNuggets_ingredients.html). A federal judge put it well back in 2003 when he called McNuggets a "McFrankenstein creation of various elements not utilized by the home cook."

  You don't have to understand them to be considerate or sympathetic.

  Not saying I don't feel sorry for her, just that I can't comprehend how she got addicted to chicken nuggets at age two.

  Her mom probably fed her Chicken Nuggets one day, and she would refuse to eat anything but that. I could see it happening.
  
  But I just find it extremely hard to believe that someone could eat that for so long...

  Wow. Such horror. Surely, how one one eat mostly chicken nuggets is beyond me.
  
  I also looked up dimethylpolysiloxane, it seems to be a food additive. Whether or not it's safe is another story. Just because it's used for cosmetics - doesn't make it harmful.
  
  But ... I could think of other perhaps more suitable substances that would have the same effect.

  [FONT="Times New Roman"]What do preservatives do? They preserve food from bacteria. How do they go about doing this? Bacteria + preservatives = dead bacteria. It's toxic. But not so much to humans, cuzz we're big :D
  Anyhow, it's the nutrition that she's missing that's the most unhealthy, I'm really surprised she lasted so long off of them.[/FONT]

  McDonald food is absolutely disgusting to begin with. Most fast food restaurant food is.

  They should tell her if she eats at least a normal diet every day for one year, she can have all the chicken nuggets she can eat, though of course, they shouldn't give it to her and use the excuse "it's for your own good" to lie about it. 8D

  Does that include Burger King?

  They add ammonium/ammonia to the Chicken Nugget batter. You're pretty much poisoning yourself with that stuff since they use meat scraps that can't be used for other things and swirl it in with ammonium to get rid of all the bacteria. The FDA actually approves this, and they also allow McDonalds to not include ammonium in it's list of ingredients.

  Oh My God.
  
  She doesn't even look bad. Like, I was imagining a skinny girl in my head, who ate a bunch of nuggets. But yeah. She should stop. I feel a little bad for her.

  They're not telling her to stop eating chicken nuggets, she can still keep eating them as long as she's eating other things too. Cannot really comprehend how she cannot do that, so I don't feel sorry for her at all.
