Your child like kind of fast food burger and
fries? Beware. Because
the results of a study by a group of researchers in New Zealand found a link
between symptoms of asthma, eczema, or rhinoconjunctivitis in children who
consume fast food.
An international study led by a team of University of Auckland showed an increased risk of disease in adolescents and children associated with the consumption of fast food three or more times a week.
Large-scale survey covering more than 319,000 young people in 51 countries and more than 181,000 children in 31 countries, also showed that the consumption of fruit three or more times a week was associated with a protective effect on the body.
"The findings could have major implications for public health," said one of the researchers, Prof Innes Asher as reported xinhua.
Teens and parents the children were asked to test the prevalence of symptoms of asthma, rhinoconjunctivitis. Symptoms appear with the advent starter runny or stuffy nose accompanied by itchy, watery eyes associated weekly diet.
The researchers focused on the severity of symptoms during the previous 12 months and the types of food that have been consumed. Including meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, legumes, cereals, bread and pasta, rice, butter, margarine, nuts, potatoes, milk, eggs, and fast food burgers.
The analysis showed that fast food is the only kind of food that is consistently associated with severe symptoms of the emergence of the disease in adolescents and children. Three or more servings per week may increase the potential for acute asthma attacks about 39 percent of adolescents and 27 percent in children. As well as the severity of rhinitis and eczema attacks overall. Plausible explanation of the findings is because fast food has a high saturated fat and high acid which can affect immunity.
