Mas toxicos en la comida no hecha en casa.

People Who Dine Out More Often May Have Higher Levels Of Phthalates, Research Suggests.

McClatchy (3/29, Berson) reports that research indicated that "people who said they dined out more often had higher levels of toxic chemicals called phthalates."

        Newsweek (3/29, Gander) reports that investigators looked at "data from 10,253 participants of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), collected between 2005 and 2014." The researchers "found levels of the chemicals were 35 percent higher in those who regularly ate at restaurants, cafeterias and fast-food places."

        HealthDay (3/29, Norton) reports that when the investigators "looked at particular types of food, they found that hamburgers and other meat sandwiches stood out: People who'd eaten those sandwiches the day before tended to have higher phthalate levels – but only if they'd gotten them from a restaurant or cafeteria." However, "the evidence was weaker when it came to fries and pizza." The findings were published online in Environment International.
