The dangers of fast food have long been scientifically proven, and this evidence is based not on simple observations, but on clinical testing.. The main feature of fast food is that it is extremely high in calories and low in nutrients..

Researchers from the School of Public Health at the University of Minnesota (USA) decided to test the relationship between fast food consumption and serious diseases in the form of type 2 diabetes and coronary heart disease..

They found a direct link between the increase in the number of people suffering from the above diseases and the consumption of so-called fast food.. As it turned out, the current belief that if you eat fast food just once, then nothing will happen, is a myth..

According to statistics, people who eat fast food even just once a week have a 20 percent increased risk of death from coronary heart disease compared to people who avoid eating fast food.. For people who eat at fast food establishments twice a week, this figure increases by about 50 percent.. And in people who eat fast food a week from 4 or more times, the risk of death from ischemia rises to 80 percent.

As for type 2 diabetes, scientists also conducted research. As it turned out, two or more visits to fast food establishments a week are enough, then a 27 percent increase in a person’s risk of developing diabetes is guaranteed..

According to Andrew Odegard, Ph.D.

, Ph.D. and lead author of the study: “Now a huge number of deaths from these two diseases are observed even in the countries of Southeast Asia, because in these countries the fashion for fast food reached less than a decade ago.. Globalization, which once affected a society with thousands of years of tradition, has led to the fact that the nations living in this part of Planet Earth fill up the registries quite quickly as victims of fast food..
