I would rather read the study than a site trying to make the results look as bad as possible.

I'm still not convinced that the normal whopper is safe to eat, let alone most other fast food burgers.

I tend to take studies on rats like this with a pinch of salt:

  • They're often performed on very small populations, so it's not clear if the effects are statistically relevant

  • Rats have different typical causes of death from humans, for example, they're much more likely to die of cancer, even when not fed any experimental diet

  • Their physiology is different enough that the results of a rat-study don't mean much when it comes to humans. They're immune to some poisons that would kill us, and things that we wouldn't think twice about eating are anathema to them.

Also it doesn't say how much they were fed and whether they had other food as well.

Anyone got the original link? Archive site's not working on my phone.

Gosh, I hope the government does the right thing and requires Burger King to make their garbage dumpsters rat proof.

No shit. Imagine how much estrogen is in everything ELSE, since it’s not required to be labeled in any way.
