Also, at the original
level of ammonium hydroxide used, LBT had a distinct (and disagreeable) taste, and my guess here is that they kept the amount of it used per beef patty down to a level meant to minimize that taste.
Researchers found high
levels of ammonium, selenium, lead and other toxic contaminants as well as high salts in the brine - laden wastewater, which primarily comes from hydraulically fractured oil wells in the Bakken region of western North Dakota.

Duke University scientists have discovered high
levels of two potentially hazardous contaminants,
ammonium and iodide, in wastewater being discharged or spilled into streams and rivers from oil and gas operations in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
The scientists detected
ammonium levels of up to 100 milligrams per liter in oil and gas effluents they collected at the wastewater discharge sites.
Researchers in Hawaii found that guppies released in the 1920s drove down native fish populations, perhaps by competing with them for food and living space, and had likely changed the cycle
of nutrients in water: Guppy - rich areas showed increased
levels of dissolved nitrogen — from
ammonium in fish urine and gill excretions — which, in turn, stimulated algae growth.
Plants fertilized with
ammonium grew almost twice as much as the plants fertilized with nitrate, and their darker green leaves attested to higher
levels of protein, the team reports in the 5 February issue
of the Proceedings
of the National Academy
of Sciences.
Now a study shows that the proteins transport
ammonium, a toxic by - product
of energy metabolism, and possibly keep the blood's pH
level balanced.
The human liver has a limited capacity to metabolize proteins, so excessive protein intake (> 35 %
of total calorie intake) may result in increased blood
levels of amino acids (hyperaminoacidemia),
ammonium (hyperammonemia) and insulin (hyperinsulinemia), and even death [46].
