Fast Food Kids endanger health

Warning for parents who like to give their children fast food. The researchers reported fast food contains high levels of acid and trans fats that can affect the immune system.

Ingredients that make fast food may increase the risk of severe asthma, eczema, and watery eyes in children. The risk would be borne by the children who ate fast food several times a week.

The researchers studied more than 500 thousand children in more than 50 countries that have poor diet, mainly because of fast food like burgers.

The study showed the kids in their early teens who eat three or more servings of fast food in a week, have an increased risk of severe asthma 39 percent. Meanwhile, children aged six and seven years old, have an increased risk of 27 percent.
