Fast food 'can be life-threatening'

While warnings about eating fast food are common, a study has shown just how much these guilty pleasures can be life threatening to Singaporeans.The study which specifically tracks chinese-singaporeans who eats more than 4 times a week has shown that it can increase their risk of dying by heart disease by 80 per cent and those who frequent fast food restaurants are 30 per cent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.The reason why this article interests me is because it is surprising to think that by eating these foods that makes us feel good we can increase our chances of dying by the various diseases that come with it.Just by this study alone I would advise everyone to avoid eating fast-food and go for more healthier food such as salad that is both delicious and nutritious.
