5 Reasons Fast Foods Are Deadly
Table of Contents
1. Trans fatty acids
These types of fatty acids belong to the family of mono and polyunsaturated fats but don't be fooled by this information. The healthy acids in this group have double bonds of cis structure. However, the ones we find in fries have a modified structure called trans. Such a small change has a colossal effect on our health. Trans fats in our diet raise LDL cholesterol levels, lowering HDL levels. In addition, they have pro-inflammatory effects in our bodies.2. The salt
Salt is close to our heart because it is almost an integral part of Polish cuisine. It can improve the taste of any cooked food, and in the case of fast food, it can also kill certain flavors that we shouldn't feel. Although there is a lot of talk about the dangers of salt consumption, it doesn't really have to be unhealthy.3. Phthalates and their halogenated derivatives
Phthalates under abbreviations such as DEHP and DiNP are commonly used in the manufacture of plastics to increase their strength and flexibility. They are found in a wide range of products including construction products, cosmetics, toys, as well as.. fast food. Their presence in the body is associated with serious health problems in children and adults. This is alarming considering that studies show that even half the levels of DEHP or DiNP in people who eat fast food are higher.4. Flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel
Although fast food restaurants are in the culinary industry, they would do great in the market for magic tricks and optical illusions. You order a hamburger. They tell you it's meat; you think it is meat; it even looks like meat, but it has little to do with meat. A thorough study of the composition of the hamburger was undertaken in 2008 by Dr. Brigid Prayson.5. It's a lack of nutritional value
The classic fast food kit not only contains a lot of nutrients that destroy our health, but it also doesn't contain the valuable vitamins and minerals that are so important for regulatory mechanisms to work, and as a result, we we weaken our immune system, we slow down our metabolism, and we feel overwhelmed, as if something is draining us of energy, even though we've actually supplied it with over 1,000 calories, which we can admire now, looking down at our stomachs.
