What is in the chicken nugget that is harmful to you? I read the entire ingredient list and all shit I have in my kitchen cabinet for everyday cooking.

  I didn't claim it was harmful, I said it met the definition of "ultra processed". There's more to the ingredients than most people realize. > Canola oil is made at a processing facility by slightly heating and then crushing the seed. Almost all commercial canola oil is then extracted using hexane solvent, which is recovered at the end of processing. Finally, the canola oil is refined using water precipitation and organic acid to remove gums and free fatty acids, filtering to remove color, and deodorizing using steam distillation. [Wikipedia] Other processes are hydrogenation, flour bleaching and modification of starch (starches treated with chemicals and/or enzymes), and whatever makes "lemon juice solids" and "yeast extract". I certainly don't have those leavening agents or dextrose in my kitchen, or all the oils, or the modified starches.

    The canola oil stuff is uninteresting. Canola oil is one of the oldest cooking oils known, the process just makes it taste less shit. Hexane is inert and easy to remove during processing and has basically 0 toxicity (just don't drink a bottle of it), water precipitation and organic acid and steam distillation is whatever, sounds fancy for things that are harmless. > hydrogenation, flour bleaching and modification of starch All harmless > lemon juice solids You evaporate lemon juice and whatever is left are the solids. > yeast extract Its yeast innards > leavening agents or dextrose If you bake bread, you have them.
