Hi This is Humberto Ojeda Avila.
Fast food wraps contain chemicals known as perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and exposure to them appears to slow down metabolism, according to new research from the Harvard School of Public Health.
Slow metabolism can lead to weight gain and can also hinder weight loss.

AuthorAccording to a recent study, chemical used in food wrappers are the same kind of that uses in non- stick pan coatings. These chemicals are knowns as Perfluoroalkyl (PFASs) substances and they have been linked with cancer, hormone imbalance, immune weakness, high cholesterol and obesity.
Such chemicals increase body weight by slowing your metabolism, especially in women, US researchers said. Due to slow metabolism rate the food molecules take longer time to breakdown than usual time and that may lead to obesity, too.
Some researchers also found that PFASs are also known as “obesogens” because they hinder the body weight regulation system which does slow metabolic rate. People with higher levels of PFASs in their blood had more slower metabolism rate even after weight loss.
A study showed that PFASs have been around for 60 years and they have contaminated drinking water. They can easily accumulate in drinking water and stay for long time in the body.

AuthorFood wrappers themselves do not directly make people fat, but concerns are often raised about chemicals from some packaging materials entering food, especially when exposed to heat. The bigger issue is usually the type of processed food inside the wrappers rather than the wrapper alone.
Packaged snacks, sugary foods, and fast foods are often high in calories, unhealthy fats, and additives. Some studies have also discussed chemicals like BPA and their possible health effects. Honestly, overall eating habits matter much more than just worrying about wrappers, though safer packaging awareness is definitely increasing now.
