- Frequent fast food dining leads to an overall low-fiber diet. The less fiber children consume, the more likely they are to develop constipation. The infrequent or difficult-to-pass bowel movement can tear or irritate the lining of the anus and cause abdominal pain and discomfort.
- A new study indicates that damage to the arteries occurs almost immediately after just ONE junk food-type meal.
- The low zinc and low antioxidant intake associated with eating fast food could increase inflammation and oxidative stress.This can increase your risk for health conditions including cancer and heart disease
- Fatty acids are the cause of a “national sex crisis,” not just because they contribute to weight gain, but also because they trigger biochemical changes that cause sexual drive to drop significantly, along with sperm count and ovulation.
Obesity
- Obesity has increased 54 percent in the last 20 years resulting in 25 to 30 percent of teens being obese -- and the number is accelerating. In addition, type II diabetes in children is an emerging epidemic. It is not surprising that type II diabetes is directly related to being overweight.
- One reason for the weight gain may be that a single meal from one of these restaurants often contains enough calories to satisfy a person’s caloric requirement for an entire day.
- The phosphoric acid that is in our soda weakens our bones and slowly destroys our teeth.
- The carmel color of soda is made from chemical caramel, which is tainted with carcinogens.
- High fructose corn syrup increases our body fat, cholesterol, and triglycerides.
