Many people prefer to eat so-called fast food.

It’s convenient, of course, if, say, you need to grab a quick bite to eat when you’re short on time.

But, getting used to such food, consuming it more and more often, we cause significant damage to our own health.

This applies to hamburgers, French fries, instant noodles, etc.

Why fast food is harmful

Inexpensive products, yes. They are sold everywhere, really. They satisfy hunger quickly, but only for a short time. That's all their advantages.

There are many more disadvantages, and they can threaten irreversible consequences for your health.

Let's take, for example, the same sodium glutamate E-621 - a food flavor enhancer contained in fast food products.

Extremely harmful. And this kind of E-additive is also very addictive.

Those who frequently consume fast food can no longer look at normal foods in the same way, because they now seem tasteless.

And the named flavor enhancer has an extremely negative effect on the nervous system.

French fries

It is harmful even without glutamate. This dish itself is extremely high in calories, full of carbohydrates and fats.

And the lipids contained in such potatoes are responsible for a number of very serious diseases in humans.

These illnesses include diabetes, obesity, atherosclerosis, and high blood pressure.

In addition, fries lead to heart attack, stroke, neuropathy.

Scientists have proven that trans fats (lipids) provoke genetic changes in cells that can lead to cancer.

Often in catering establishments, French fries are cooked in oil that has already been used in cooking many times.

This approach makes potatoes a very dangerous carcinogen.
