腐らず、匂わず、虫寄らず…医師がマクドナルドのチーズバーガーを2年にわたって展示

ミシガン州の医師は食べ物についての啓蒙活動の一環として、2年前からカウンターの上にマクドナルドのチーズバーガーを展示しているそうです。チーズバーガーはそのままの状態で空気に触れるように置いているにも関わらず、2年経った今でもカビもなく、嫌な匂いもないそうです。

このチーズバーガーを置いたジャクリーン・ヴォン博士らによれば、これは防腐剤のおかげだといいます。 

「匂いも無く、まさにハンバーガーのミイラです。虫も近づくことはありません。」

博士らは恒久的にこのチーズバーガーを展示していくつもりだと述べています。

Dinnertime: The two-year-old cheeseburger seems mostly unchanged What happens when you leave a McDonald's cheeseburger unattended in the open air for two years?

The answer is nothing, really. No mould, nasty smells or ants.

It just sits there uneaten as people walk past.

Fast food: The taco and the burger seem quite close to edible, thanks to preservatives Two chiropractors in Waterford, Michigan, US, left the sandwich and a Taco Bell chicken taco on the counter of their surgery to see what would happen to them.

Dr Jacqueline Vaughn hopes it will make people think about what they are putting into their bodies every time they make a trip to their local fast food restaurant.

It comes just a few weeks after a similar experiment in which another man drank 10 cans of Coca-Cola a day for a month to show the effects of the sugary drink.

Over almost two years, the meals appear unchanged - apart from the cheese on the burger turning a darker brown and the taco's lettuce greying slightly.

"There's no smell from it, it's basically mummified. You can pick it up, turn it over and still see the cheese and pickle in the burger ," Dr Vaughn told MailOnline.

"Even in the summer when we get ants, the bugs won't go near it."

Dr Vaughn says she intends to leave the fast food on display "forever", although anyone expecting a dramatic transformation will most probably be disappointed.

The beginning: A fresh McDonald's cheeseburger Yafan Zhang, professor of food science at Wayne State University, says a preservative called calcium probinate keeps the food looking near-edible for a long time.

He told CBS the non-toxic substance is used in a range of products to keep them fresh, including bread, cakes and processed meat.

The product is safe to use and eat. Although it can sometimes cause inflammation of the stomach, it is fine unless it is eaten every day.
