      Just seems pointless. If you like less acidic taste just use less lemon juice. Nobody is Vitamin C deficient unless they’re dirt poor or have some other health stuff going on

        I have witnessed the American diet. It mostly appears to be high fructose corn syrup drink, burger, fries and microplastics.

        I would assume there is a small amount of vitamin C in ketchup and trace amounts in the lettuce on the burger. But I’m not sure how much you would have to consume to meet your daily intake.

          The fries alone have a pretty good chance to keep you from becoming Vitamin C deficient if you ate nothing but aforementioned. If your burger includes any vegetables even more so.

            I thought that was for fresh/frozen house cut fries. Doesn’t processing the potato remove some of the nutritional value? Its been a while but I recall reading an article about mash from reconstituted potato powder having a far lower amount of potassium and vitamins than an equal amount of fresh.

              Nutritional data I pulled was for McDonalds fries which I don’t think they’re at the point of shaping them out of dried rehydrated potatoes yet?

                Hmm, my previous work must have had some exceptionally cheap product if it’s below McDonalds in standard. Iirc the ingredients mentioned it was something like powdered potato and palm oil. They tasted ok, texture when cooled down was like damp Pringles.

                It was the only thing we imported from America
