If you think it's all white meat and some breading, an American scientist is suggesting you're wrong. After conducting his own "autopsy" into chicken nuggets from two unnamed fast food restaurants, Dr. Richard deShazo says that the finger food is actually made with only 40 to 50 per cent meat. The rest? It's all fat, skin, connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves and bone fragments.

My advice to you today is: stay away from hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils. You may not be very happy with my next statement, but here it is anyway: do not patronize fast food places that use these types of oils. Unfortunately, fast food restaurants have become distribution centers for partially hydrogenated oils. Those oils are part of dressings, sauces, sauté and fried meats, fried chicken, nuggets, fried potatoes, sandwiches, cooked vegetables, croutons, taco shells and burritos.
