In latest years, more and more children are becoming fatter and fatter. This highlight that the lifestyle, environment, dietary factors give play to obesity, principally high fat, high energy density dietary. Western fast food has very acute effect to teen-ages and children.
It is harmful to children mentality
On November 6,
2004, Cheng Zhaohuan professor once introduced in the articles of "Chinese food newspaper" that Canadian researchers fed 2 groups of mice respectively with high fat and ordinary feed a months. When mice grow to four months, and then trained mice complete a simple memory task. The researchers concluded that the behaviors of fat mice are far from thin mice. The latter's learning ability is stronger. The researchers got a conclusion that the development of children nervous system will be damaged and the brain and mind thinking quality will be suffered from permanent hurts.
Cause obesity and precocious puberty
In 2003, the endocrine professor called Michael Schwartz of Washington university study found in his study: hamburgers, French fries can cause human body hormonal changes. American fast food make people easily, especially teenager and children be addictive and make them difficult to control food intake. The reason is that the hormone dominates people bite and sup deed. This is why children want to have these fast food second time after they have them once? Because western fast food has the character of addition, so in Europe, many parents forbid their children eating western fast food and drink coke. But in our country, for recent ten years, the amount of obesity increased three times. We can make conclusion that eating those food normally will cause diet construction unbalance.
Hydrogenated oil lead to chronic diseases
There are big differences between east and west countries. This is the reason why Chinese have not realized Tran fatty acids as well as western people. Even people don't know Tran fatty acids any. However, following the western fast food increasing, Tran fatty acid in Chinese diet is becoming more and more.
The oil of snakes is hydrogenated oil. In another words, vegetable oil adds hydrogen and then produced the hydrogen oil. It contains about 38% of Tran fatty acids. And this is a kind of oil that nature does not exist this fatty acids. It is man-made. But long-term eating this Trans fats acid can lead to chronic diseases, such as diabetes and coronary heart disease happening.

On April 24, 2002, Swedish national food administration published a conclusion of a study: a large quantity of acryl amide is included in hamburgers, French fries, fried chicken and so other foods. This material can produce genetic mutations, damage to central and peripheral nervous system and induce benign or malignant tumor.
American food and drug administration published 750 kinds of food inspection findings. These also confirmed the French fries, potato chips, popcorn and biscuits contained the c poison supreme! A study from Japan also demonstrated that, from potato films can be tested high concentrations of acrylamide. Britain, France, the United States of experts also made a test and all draw a firmer conclusion.
Three-high, three low, nutrient unbalance
