fast-food and obesity linked to diabetes
Researchers, from the University of Minnesota, found that People who consume fast food regularly greatly increase their risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes compared with those who don't.

The US study, involving more than 3,000 black and white adults aged 18-30, looked at the link between fast food habits and changes in body weight and insulin resistance over a 15-year period.

They found that those who had frequent meals at fast food outlets were more likely to gain weight and have increased insulin resistance, putting them in greater danger of developing Type 2 diabetes.

Dr David Ludwig, who led the research, said: "Fast-food habits have strong, positive, an independent associations with weight gain and insulin resistance in young black and white adults."

He added: "In view of the high and increasing rates of fast-food consumption, further research into the effects of this dietary pattern on public health should be given priority”.
